Starting from scratch. Bought a forclosure one year ago with poorly maintained/designed landscaping. Would like boulders and shade trees, possibly a dry creek. Yard is smallish/medium in size. Built on a small hill, may need a retaining wall?

Outdoor Lighting
With landscape lighting, you are not restricted to enjoying your beautiful garden only in the day time. A well illuminated garden invites regular entertaining, socializing with friends and alfresco dining under the stars. Plus, landscape lighting is a significant security investment you can make. Evidence shows that homes with dark front yards and gardens are more susceptible to robberies and crimes, than homes that are sufficiently lit with appropriate outdoor lighting. A landscape lighting design plan will be different from installing indoor lighting. For instance, your decorative outdoor lighting fixtures are required to be sturdy and durable, so they can withstand the elements of the whether. Out in your garden, lighting fixtures can be subject to harsh sun light, cold winds, snow fall and heavy rain throughout the year. Your fixtures should be able to face these challenges.
Designing an outdoor lighting plan involves more than just buying decorative outdoor lighting fixtures, and installing them at various points in your garden. For one, your lighting fixtures have to be durable enough to last through all kinds of climate conditions, including rain, high wind, snow fall and harsh sunlight. Beautiful and expensive fixtures that only last one season can mean significant investment in maintaining your landscape lighting. It's always best to leave these decisions to professionals who know what it takes to create a well lit garden. Generally, designers prefer to use low voltage outdoor lighting that not only gives your garden a soft and gentle glow at night, but at the same time is also bright enough for people in the house to be able to see what's going on in the garden. Your outdoor landscape lighting should also be wired to allow for flexibility. If you wish to change the position of your fixtures in the future, you should be able to do so without having to rewire your garden.
A landscape lighting professional will also make sure that the system is flexible enough to withstand changes in the future. For instance, if you want to reposition your lights or change the theme of your garden, you should be able to do so without expensive rewiring. The new trend in landscape lighting design is solar outdoor lighting which is low on cost, and relies on solar powered light sources to illuminate your garden. Professionals can also custom design landscape lighting plans that include services like diffused lighting, shadowing, silhouetting, up or down lighting, accent lighting, grazing etc. To find professional Houston landscape lighting specialists, simply fill out the form.
