Landscape Lighting Design is an art that is both practical and aesthetically enjoyable.
The masters of this art satisfy numerous goals simultaneously. The results greatly enhance the experience of homeowners and serve many of their functional needs. Every property needs some sort of illumination and homeowners would be best served by hiring a professional to design and install their landscape lighting.
You've pulled out all the stops to make your house and yard look first-rate. So why let that hard work disappear at nightfall when, with a flick of a switch and some strategically placed landscape 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 your property’s landscape.
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.
Landscape lighting typically relies on stepped-down power from your house.
Here are a few frequently asked questions from our customers about landscape lighting…
What is a typical cost for landscape lighting?
A 10-light system installed by a professional typically starts at about $2,000 to $2,500.
How much upkeep and maintenance is required for landscape lighting?
You will want to keep your lighting fixtures free of leaves and debris to prevent them from overheating. You will also want to replace burned-out bulbs immediately so that others on the circuit aren't subject to life-shortening voltage overloads.
How long will my landscape lighting last?
The warranty on landscape lighting fixtures and transformers range from one to 10 years. However, fixtures made of brass, copper, or stainless steel should shine indefinitely!
