Once your commercial or residential landscaping is completed, there is one other aspect that should not go unattended. Now that your commercial property or residential yard, or outdoor living space is as beautiful as you envisioned it when it was first designed, it’s important that it’s visible for as long as possible. Furthermore, the particular focal points and highlights that you, your landscape designer and landscaping service worked so diligently to create deserve the respective amount of attention.
After all, why deny your elegant landscaping visuals to only being seen during the daytime? In fact, your landscape, and especially your focal points as mentioned above, can cast an even more aesthetically pleasing image at night than during the day – with the right lighting, of course.
How do you give your landscaping the best lighting for the greatest effects?
Working closely with an accomplished landscape designer, begin by creating a plan that incorporates the elements that architecturally distinguish and define your home’s exterior and existing landscaping. You’ll want to involve both shadows and direct light so that your yard and property projects the right tone and mood that you envision.
This vital aspect of your landscape lighting design should be addressed by also taking y9our budget and how you use the area into consideration.
Besides the visual benefits, what are the other benefits of landscape lighting?
While the elegance and beauty of the lighting itself and when strategically installed to complement your landscaping are essentially your primary motivations, landscape lighting should also be viewed as a wise investment. This is especially true if you use products that are energy efficient and last a long time. For this benefit, it’s recommended to go with aluminum or cast bronze. Do not use anything plastic.
How do I get the style and design that I want?
To put the finishing touch on this finishing touch, you’ll need to make deliberate, informed decisions regarding the type of finishes you’ll have on your lights. You have a wide range of options and your designer will certainly advise you on these selections, but particularly noteworthy are patina and copper.
You’ll also want quality and longevity in each of the products you use. For that reason, it has been recommended to use transformers that are stainless steel as long as they’re guaranteed against defects – both electrical and mechanical – that may occur at the manufacturer level. And, don’t overlook custom options such as your lightbulbs; both LED and halogen are among the options, as are solar lights.
By incorporating low voltage lights that are friendly to the environment as well as efficient, you can create the outdoor, evening ambiance you desire without costing you a fortune in energy costs or harming the environment.
