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.

Pathway lighting leading up to your home, through the garden, or around the pool not only adds beauty to the landscaping but creates a safer environment when enjoying the outdoors at night.

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

Take a trip down memory lane with this old-school aesthetic. White or cream-colored candles inside clear glass mason jars make a lovely, old-fashioned light source for your family gathering.

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.

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!

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!

If you own a pool, you know the challenges and rewards of maintaining it year round. Why limit the beauty of your pool only to the daytime? Lighting your pool not only highlights this beautiful feature, but adds security by brightening the area to protect children and guests that may be unfamiliar with your yard.

A lighting professional will be able to showcase the strong points of your pool, whether this is in the water or in the architecture around it. A warm, well placed beam can exhibit a waterfall or hot tub, transforming a backyard space by drawing attention to its beauty and serenity. Or if your yard is often the backdrop of a party, you can opt for modern, upbeat lighting that highlights your pool in fun colors!

Pool lighting is also a security measure. You can never be too careful with children around water – a lit pool will help them avoid falling in. It will protect your guests by adding a gentle glow to outline your pool and help them navigate your yard and avoid falling in. Lighting the features around your pool will also deter burglars by eradicating dark places for them to take cover.
