Love Your Outdoor Spaces

Landscape Lighting

You’ve pulled out all the stops to make your house and yard look firstrate. So why let that hard work disappear at nightfall? With a flick of a switch and some strategically placed outdoor lights, you can roll back the darkness and put it all on display! Done right, landscape lighting makes the best of what you’ve got by highlighting your home’s architectural features and drawing attention to prized plantings and trees.

Most landscape lighting today is low voltage, and with good reason. Unlike 120-volt systems, it’s safer to work with and less costly to install. And though low-voltage lights receive one-tenth the power, thanks to a step-down transformer, there’s no limit to the effects they can achieve, from ethereal moonlight beamed down from a tree canopy to a subtle glow that washes over a low garden wall. More than just picking the right hardware, a pleasing lighting scheme is also about artistry.

Outdoor living spaces

With outdoor living becoming more and more popular, homeowners are looking for more ways to bring the entertainment outdoors with them. Adding a custom fire feature not only allows for extended time outdoors, but also provides a means of cooking outdoors while entertaining guests.

Much like an outdoor kitchen, a fire pit allows you to stay outside while preparing some types of food, rather than having to segregate yourself indoors in the kitchen. This increases your outdoor living space and increases the amount of time you can mingle with friends and family outdoors. Many people enjoy roasting marshmallows and cooking meat over an open pit. Providing your guests with an open flame to do this encourages bonding time and provides the perfect opportunity to spend quality time together!
