Exterior Lighting

We supply and install Low Voltage lighting! We specialize in Path and Patio lights, wall lighting, and up-lighting (accenting house and specimen plantings). With the installation of Landscape Lighting, your home and yard will look beautiful year round, even on the darkest winter days. Many gardens and landscape areas will look most enchanting when lit at night with the proper specialized lighting fixtures. In addition to the added beauty, and mystic enchantment, a professionally illuminated landscape will add safety and security to your home.

Landscape lighting also adds peace of mind. In fact, safety experts recommend outdoor landscape lighting as an important component in any home security system. We can provide you with a quality landscape lighting installation that will last for many years to come. Landscape lighting is also more affordable and more resourceful than ever. Utilizing 12 & 24 volt technology, we can install a high quality lighting system that will be a low cost and energy efficient addition to your landscape. Our technicians will install a transformer on the exterior of your home which will allow a multitude of user friendly settings, including a zero maintenance “dusk to dawn” setting.

Planting & Design

The key to a unique, natural, and beautiful landscape lies within each individual setting. Knowing what trees, shrubs, and flowering perennials look best in each surrounding is an art form and takes many years of experience. When we design a landscape or garden area, we consider how much light each planting will receive. It is also paramount to strategically group evergreens with deciduous flowering shrubs to provide year round color and contrast. We go to great lengths to create symmetry in the planting beds, creating a theme of repeating color, texture, and distinction.

It is also vital to use proper soil amendments in the landscape. Our professionals check the quality of soil on each job and custom mix planting soils. We have years of expertise with the ever growing problem of deer in the landscape. Our superior knowledge of trees and shrubs allows us to choose the best deer resistant plant material and flowers.
