We believe outdoor misting systems are one of the little joys of hot, hot weather. These systems disperse water into the air, cooling down the patio for both residential and commercial buildings. Anything that lets people get out to enjoy their backyard and relieves some of our Texas heat gets a gold star in our book. However, outdoor mist systems have had a few more uses come to light quite recently!

Some individuals have begun using outdoor misters for gardening purposes. In a green house environment, the enclosed space does not have the luxury of summer rain bearing down upon it. Many plants need a certain amount of water and certain environment to keep growing. However, with a misting system, your green house can be provided with excellent irrigation and your plants can get their much needed water. The introduction of water into this enclosed environment also changes the green house environment to a slightly more humid one. This means you can grow even more different kinds of plants within your green house environment! A misting system can even help once harvest time comes. If you sell vegetables or produce, this system can be used to keep the produce fresh!

These are very exciting uses of the outdoor misting system! Our favorite is still the patio. The coolness afforded by the system allows for outdoor enjoyment with friends and family all the summer season, which is the best part of the season! If you are interested in outdoor misting systems, give us a call today at 817-345-3696. Let us show you what an outdoor misting system can do for you!

There are many ways that outdoor lighting can add to the beauty of your property. Lights are a great way of highlighting certain features of your home and landscape. Here are some of the most popular types of landscape lighting and where they provide the most benefit to your property.

Floodlighting is used to spotlight areas of interest around your property whether it is casting light around the perimeter of your home or illuminating the trees and landscaping around your yard. Security floodlighting is recommended to ward off intruders that wander onto your property at night.

Downlighting uses lights the are angled downwards which creates a beautiful soft glow. This type of lighting is great for creating an accent over a bench in the garden, highlighting the architecture of your home, and creating pathways.

Floating Tea Lights for Romance

Float tea light candles in a birdbath full of water. Choose colors and fragrances that you find appealing. For added allure, sprinkle rose petals on the top of the water before placing the floating candles.

Party Umbrellas for Fun

Cover your tables with large, colorful, party umbrellas for shade from the sun. At night, transform the umbrellas into a colorful backdrop by wrapping their edges in LED lights of every color, and dangling luminaries made from flameless candles and vibrant glass.

Mason Jar Candles for Nostalgia

Your outdoor space is an ideal haven for relaxation and relief. By utilizing outdoor lighting, you can enjoy the outdoors twice as much as you are not limited to only being out during daytime. Outdoor lighting serves you best when it is properly kept up and maintained, and to help you make the most of your outdoor space, our team of expert lighting technicians offers a lighting maintenance program to periodically clean and service your lights.

Beautiful, well-thought out lighting is a treat, but over time, your landscape may shift, the bulbs may go out or cloud over, or you may want to update the look. Our lighting maintenance program keeps all of your lighting looking its best so you can maximize your outdoor enjoyment.

• Bulb replacement: Bright bulbs will clearly illuminate walkways and remote locations. Avoid a trip up the ladder to replace a burnt out bulb – our professional technicians are on call to handle the bulbs out of reach.

• Bury wires and adjust fixtures: While we do our best to hide every wire during our visit, time and weather can expose these wires. Or if you have a light fixture you want to adjust, our team covers that as well.

You have probably heard the term “LED bulbs” as a lighting buzzword, but do you know the actual facts about this type of light? If you are searching for a bulb that is long lasting and energy efficient, LED bulbs might be an ideal solution. Here we overview the details of LED bulbs to help you explore the best type of bulb for your outdoor landscape lighting needs.

LEDs, or light-emitting diodes, were first engineered at General Electric in 1962. They have gradually grown to be one of the top lighting solutions in the industry, especially after a huge explosion in popularity during 2011 and 2012.

• LEDs are treasured for their efficient use of energy. Traditional incandescent bulbs release almost 90% of their energy as heat, while LEDs use this energy to produce light with very little wasted heat.
• Quality LED bulbs can have a lifespan of nearly 25,000 hours – this equates to about 3 years of 24/7 use. This is about 25 times the average life of an incandescent bulb.
• If all lighting were entirely switched to LED over the next 20 years, the U.S. alone could save up to $250 billion in energy costs and avoid creating 1,800 million metric tons of carbon waste emissions!

LEDs for Landscaping

At night, it is a common part of many people’s routines to turn on the porch light. This is usually followed by turning it off before bed so as not to waste electricity. Unfortunately, a dark house can be an ideal spot for unwanted activity from all kinds of creatures. While outdoor lights offer excellent security, they also boost your property’s aesthetics while allowing you to work, play, and gather at night.

Security and Functionality

Outdoor lighting allows additional functionality to your property by allowing you to play, cook, work, and gather at night. Why limit yourself to only enjoying the outdoors during the day? Highlight the best features of your yard to showcase the elegance of your home, your hard work in the garden, or any other favorite features.

Outdoor lighting also offers exceptional security. Installing motion sensor lights near doors, windows, garages, and driveways will help lessen the likelihood of potential unwanted visitors and activity. If you have a pool or a water feature in your yard, highlighting it at night will keep your guests and children safe by alerting them to its presence.

You work long and hard on your garden: why let its beauty go unnoticed during the night? Garden lighting is a great way to highlight your work, even at night, and discourage unwanted critters from enjoying your garden a little too much. Here we walk through the basics of garden lighting to help your hard work look its best.

Garden lighting can take virtually any form and allows a huge range of customization to showcase precisely what you want in your garden. A soft, broad glow is excellent to illuminate your garden as a whole. More direct beams of light can draw attention to specific features in your garden.

The type of bulb used to illuminate your garden can make all the difference. LED lights are energy efficient and offer practical use outdoors. They are low cost in terms of maintenance and utility usage, so they are friendly for all budgets. LEDs are ideal for providing light in a smaller, more concentrated area, which is where reflector lights can come in and offer a large bloom of light to display your whole garden.

Since 2006, our team has been beautifying landscapes with professional lighting that offers the perfect touch to compliment your hard work outdoors. To explore outdoor lighting with a free nighttime demonstration, call our team today at 817-345-3696!
