Our Philosophy
We love the bright lights of Las Vegas as much as the next person, what we don’t love is a residential property lit up like the Vegas strip. We like our clients to optimize their landscape investments by enjoying and showing them off at night, in a tasteful, subtle way. After all, why spend all that money on your landscaping to only enjoy it 50% of the time?
Our philosophy is to start off our designs with the basics that serve the following: beautification, usability & safety and value added. And then, in collaboration with our clients, we go from there.
OUR METHOD
First, we look at the landscape, or landscape plan, and decide on some key elements that are worthy of highlighting and showing off into the night. These can be trees, large shrubs, architectural features of a house or in the landscape itself, statues, pieces of art, fountains etc. The best fixtures for this application are up lights, well lights or runway lights.
Second, we look at the pathways around the property and determine the high traffic, or most used, areas. We place path lights or step lights at changes in direction or elevation of these areas ensuring efficient usability and maximizing safety at night. There’s no greater fear than walking to and from your house from the landscape, on a dark path all the while trying to balance a glass of wine in your hand. Or even worse, leaving your guests to do that!
OUR RESULTS
More often than not, when the lights are turned on for the first time and our client’s see the true potential of the lighting come to reality, we are asked to install more. Sometimes it’s difficult to really visualize the outcome of a lighting design until that switch is turned on. For this reason, we make sure there is additional space available on the transformers in our designs so that we can simply add fixtures to the existing infrastructure after the fact, in an economical way for our clients.
Landscape lighting not only beautifies your home and provides you safety and usability but adds value to your property and let’s you stand out from the rest!
