Landscape Lighting: The Service that Shines
Today's blog will not be about some of the more typical lawn or landscaping services but rather a unique and somewhat rare service. Rare in the sense that it is not always universally offered by all landscaping companies. It is also considered less often than services like mulching or shrub trimming. In some cases, it is a service that is part of an overall hardscaping project, but, as with us here at Clay Creek Landscaping, it could be a standalone service as well. We are talking about landscape lighting, and this blog will be lit! Sorry, we couldn't help ourselves and had to say that at least once! Today we will be helping you understand more about this type of project. Some topics we will be touching on include:
What is included in the service?
Why is the service itself needed?
When it comes to landscape lighting, do I need a professional?
People tend to put more thought into their lawns and gardens. Diving in deeper; when it comes to people's outdoor spaces, they usually only think about enjoying the area in the afternoon while soaking in the sun's rays. They don't consider that dinner is late in the day and parties usually last way after the sun is gone. For this reason, it is important to consider where the source of light will come from in these scenarios. Now we are not saying that those small bulb string lights do not look adorable on your property, but it still remains pretty dark because they do not give off a ton of light unless you have hundreds of them. To get your needed light, you have to actually install a light system or fixture.

People also install security cameras and now doorbells with cameras on them to be able to see around their home, right? Do you know what would help them to them see better on those cameras? Light! This is especially useful when walking around the patio, walkways around your home, parking the car, leaving the driveway, or just the feeling of keeping a light on outside for safety! The best thing about the service is that each area of their property can have specifically designed and installed lights right for that particular area of the property! Landscape lighting service lights have the updated technology such as sensors for movement, LED lights, as well as solar lights for the lawn or patio. Hence, the sun charges them all day, and then when the party continues at night, the lights are ready for use, without you needing to do anything!
