Professional Landscape Lighting in Gainesville, Georgia

Landscape lighting is a terrific addition to any outdoor area. It brightens the space, making it more beautiful and usable in the evenings. Instead of stepping inside after the sun has set, owners can continue to enjoy their illuminated yards deep into the night. The proper lighting can extend a backyard BBQ well into the night or set the mood on romantic evenings.

Just as indoor living spaces need appropriate lighting, so do outdoor spaces. There are lighting strategies that create different atmospheres, and they should complement the spaces created within the landscape. Gathering spaces need soft lighting that allows people to see those around them but isn’t too bright. Game spaces need brighter lighting so participants can see the court. Other spaces may need uplighting to highlight the plantings and keep dark spaces to a minimum.
As homeowners can take advantage of the many lighting strategies and even more lighting solutions, hiring a professional landscape lighting designer can be beneficial to ensure the desired outcome. Designers keep current with trends and new technology and can guide homeowners to solutions they may have overlooked.

Types of landscape lighting

Path Lights

Path lighting is excellent for illuminating pathways and shedding light on beautiful landscapes and hardscapes.

Mini-Bullet Lights

Can be used on second and third stories of houses and in other places that you want to be well lit but with a small and inconspicuous fixture that is not an eye sore.

Bistro lights are an awesome feature for a fire pit area or any outdoor living space. We often tie them into existing structures like gazebos, trees, and decks, but we can put posts anywhere string lights are needed.

Our Process | Landscape Lighting

Design the Project with the Homeowner

We work with our clients to determine their needs and priorities. Some considerations in planning an outdoor lighting system include what pathways must be illuminated, what landscape features should be highlighted, and where the family will spend time outdoors.
Set the Lights

Some lights are stake-mounted, which we put into the ground. Others may be installed with mounts or on hard surfaces. Each light is installed carefully and with the proper equipment to keep it in place.
Wire the System

12/2 low voltage wire connects the lights to each other and the transformer. Each connection is secured with greased wire nuts that prevent water from causing problems in the future.
Install the Transformer

A transformer is placed inside or outside, according to the homeowner’s preference. If outside, a photocell can be used that monitors sunlight, turning the system on when it’s dark and off when it’s light. We can also use mechanical or smart timers that connect to a phone for wireless programming.
Adjust the Lights

After the system is on, angles and placements may need to be fine-tuned for optimal results. Sometimes, we may need to work at night to make needed adjustments.
