WHAT IS PROFESSIONAL OUTDOOR LANDSCAPE LIGHTING?
For many, exterior lighting consists of a pair
of lanterns bordering the front door, with a pole light at
the end of the sidewalk - unimaginative at best. Professional
Outdoor Landscape lighting goes much further today. The goal
of Contemporary Landscape Lighting is to create a subtle and
natural feel. Professional Outdoor Landscape Lighting is an
art whereby the artist paints with light instead of oils or
watercolors. The trend is towards plants, pathways, sculpture
and architecture that are naturally painted with light.
The landscape surrounding the home seems to glow under a natural
glimmering array of natural light that filters down through
the towering trees that border the property. The walkways
and flowerbeds are illuminated with a slightly brighter light
that accentuates the structure and form and bring attention
to detail through shadows and dancing patterns of light out
on the open lawn. Professional Outdoor Lighting Design should
always follow the theory of “To See the Effect - Not the Source”.
These simple seven words are the one Rule that ALL lighting
designs should strive to follow. Professional Outdoor Landscape
Lighting should concentrate on the landscape itself but should
also never overlook additional opportunities such as Architecture.
Outdoor Lighting can actually bring the landscape and architecture
into one pleasing, eye-catching nighttime scene and concept.
Professional Landscape Lighting is increasing in popularity
and is becoming a primary essential of the property owner.
While outdoor lighting was once only a luxury, it is today
a necessary component of the overall outdoor environment.
Security has been a driving force up to now, but safety from
obstacles and the shear beauty of it all is driving property
owners of all categories to seek the expertise of a Professional
Outdoor Lighting Designer.

Why choose professional landscape lighting from GARDEN GATE?
BEAUTIFICATION.
Focal points during the day now stand out and become more
visible. Textures not seen in daylight now have eye-catching
detail. Architectural features of the home can be accented,
which brings the home and landscape together to create a resort-like
feel.
USABILITY.
Landscape lighting enjoyably extends the time spent outdoors.
Now patios, pools and children’s play areas become entertainment
venues, or just relaxing places to unwind.
SAFE PASSAGE.
Hazards such as steps, low-hanging or thorny vegetation, abrupt
elevation changes or toys in
a walkway can be avoided with properly placed landscape lighting.
Even though property owners know their way around, guests
may not.
SECURITY.
It is a proven fact that a well-lit landscape will deter potential
intruders by eliminating dark areas
and shadows that would conceal movement around the property.
Landscape lighting also allows the homeowner and neighbors
to see and identify potential intruders.
VALUE.
From a personally pleasing perspective, landscape lighting
not only brings the property to life,
it brings life to the property. From a practical perspective,
professionally installed landscape lighting provides an excellent
return on investment, because it creates a marvelous first
impression when viewed by family and friends or possible prospective
buyers.
