The exterior of your property can be very exposed to weather elements like the sun, rain, wind, and snow. Because of this, we make sure to use high-quality LED lights on your property.

We Use Different Lighting Techniques to Showcase Your Property
When incorporating outdoor lighting into your property, there are so many design options to choose from. Our crew can help you choose the best spots for your new lights as well as the type of lighting you want to use. We offer many different lighting techniques to showcase your favorite landscape features. Some of these techniques include:
- Highlighting - For a lush tree or a newly blooming shrub, highlighting them by placing lights on their base will make these softscapes stand out on your property at night.
- Wall Washing - This technique is meant to showcase any gorgeous walls that you have on your property. The lighting fixtures are installed a few feet away to face the wall at an angle for a soft and soothing look.
- Silhouetting - If you have a statue or a plant with striking features, the silhouetting technique will light up the area behind it, causing the object to look dark and silhouette-like against the bright background.
- Up-Lighting & Down-Lighting - These techniques involve placing the lighting fixtures near the structure to illuminate it. Up-lighting involves pointing the light upwards towards the structure to create a dramatic effect. Down-lighting involves pointing the light downward to mimic the look of natural moonlight.
- Path Lighting - One of the primary benefits of outdoor lighting is increased safety. Path lighting is all about safety, as it involves lighting up the walkways around your property so that you and your guests can move around safely.
