by PJ Kratohvil, Owner of Complete Solutions

Temperatures continue to drop, rain keeps falling, and days are getting shorter. If you’re looking for some ideas going into this fall season, we’ve got a few. Be sure to get outside and enjoy, fall in Texas is one of the best times of the year!

With less hours of daylight this time of year, lighting is a great option to extend your usage. Adding some string lights along a handrail to create a boarder, putting some bulbs in a seasonal wreath for interest, or running some Edison lights to light up the sky, all will enhance your space. When it comes to safety and showing off the dynamics of your property, we suggest LED fixtures. These will help visitors navigate walkways & patios while highlighting features at the same time.
