Example of what Landscape Lighting can do for you

Why add landscape lighting to your yard?

Outdoor lighting is the landscaping trend sweeping the nation, and is one of the most dramatic improvements you can make to your landscape! Contemporary outdoor lighting systems are a smart investment.  Professionally installed and maintained outdoor lighting systems increase the safety and beauty of your home or business, while also adding resale value.

 

At Living Landscapes Inc. we install exclusively low-voltage lighting.  Uses a lower amount of power and costs less to operate.  Low voltage lighting is safer to operate than their high voltage counterparts due to the fact it’s not such a high current flowing through the wires.

 Here are some of the main reasons for installing an outdoor lighting system:

Security: Lighting can reveal dark areas in your landscape where someone might try to hide.

Safety: Outdoor lighting ensures resident and visitors can safely navigate around the property at night.  No more stumbling over steps in the dark, low-voltage lighting gives you and your guests the confidence to get around after the suns gone down.

Usability: Illuminating private areas of a property allow enjoyment on in to the evening on your decks, sitting areas, and recreational spaces.  You will be able to enjoy you patios party on into the evening hours!

Beauty:  Low voltage lighting highlights the architectural elements of your home, and accentuates the features of your landscape.  We can design a dramatic lighting display lighting your focal point; a fountain, a stature, the weeping branches of your Japanese Maple tree, focus a light onto the gentle splashes of your waterfall and get more bang for your buck from the features of your landscape by being able to view them even after dusk.

Economy: Low-voltage lighting consumes about 1/3 the electricity compared to high-voltage systems and is far less expensive to install.
