While outdoor lighting is a fantastic way to keep the entertainment going into the evening, it also helps improve navigation at your home. This can aid in keeping unseen threats away and also showing off the hard work you put into your landscaping. 

Landscape Lighting

Landscaping lighting, which is also known as spot lighting, shines a single narrow beam on one concentrated area. This light is often of different intensities. These lights often aid in highlighting unique plants and lawn ornaments. 

String Lighting

String lighting is a very popular way to bring a warm ambiance and unique style to your home. String lighting, also known as, Edison bulbs make a wonderful addition to outdoor patios, kitchens, gazebos, pergolas, and more. When choosing this option, look for waterproof lights with rechargeable batteries to make the most out of this option!
