There’s a lot involved in planning landscape lighting for your Memphis home.
While people are sometimes under the misimpression that it’s just a matter of putting some different lights around the home, in reality, there’s a tremendous amount of forethought and planning that goes into developing a landscape lighting plan.
In this article, we’ll give you a taste of what goes into designing landscape lighting with a custom plan.
While some outdoor lighting companies only do cookie-cutter work (which is why all of their lighting “designs” look the same), at Mid South Night Lights, we’re focused on custom outdoor lighting.
That means that when we’re planning landscape lighting, it’s a unique process each time.
The entire process should start with a design.
With a design, your landscape lighting designer is determining exactly which type of light should go where. They’re also looking at factors such as the number of lights, how bright they should be, landscape lighting wiring details, and more.
You also don’t want a cookie-cutter design that looks like everyone else’s. If you’re investing in high-quality lighting, you want to make sure that you’re getting a one-of-a-kind design.
Sometimes that might mean paying a little more. But it’s worth paying more for something that delivers the wow factor that you want (rather than saving a few bucks and being dissatisfied with the results).
A great landscape lighting design is a lot like “art” and really enhances the aesthetics of your space. But it increases functionality, too. With great lighting, your property will be safer and easier to navigate.
It’s important to recognize that a landscape lighting design is a lot more detailed than some quick sketch (as even some “pros” might throw together).
It should be a highly detailed plan with a lot of specific details.
There’s a tremendous amount of thought and planning put into this so that it’s done right the first time. This is important as outdoor lighting can be a big investment. You want to make sure that you’re getting the full value.
Some of the details in a landscape lighting plan include:
A thorough landscape lighting plan will help ensure that you get the best results. It will also help ensure that you get the results that you desire.
When there’s no concrete plan in place, you risk being unpleasantly surprised that the design did not turn out the way you desired.
Unfortunately, people don’t always realize the importance of these factors until their project is complete and they are dissatisfied with the results. With lighting, sometimes even the smallest details can make a world of difference.
If you truly care about getting the best results, it’s important to work with a Certified Outdoor Lighting Designer.
This will help ensure that things go the right way from the very start. An area where professional landscape lighting often goes awry is in the design. You might notice that a lot of lighting projects look identical. That’s because the landscape lighting designer didn’t create a custom design and failed to think outside of the box.
However, a Certified Outdoor Lighting Designer is specifically trained in design work. From there, you can feel confident that everything will come together exactly as it was meant to.
At Mid South Night Lights, we know that outdoor lighting is more than just something that “looks nice.” While there’s no doubt it will add tremendous aesthetic appeal, it also brings functional value by allowing you to get more use out of your space.
If you decide to work with Mid South Night Lights, we’ll be ready to tackle a lighting design that is customized to YOUR property. With the right lighting, you’ll soon be enjoying your home more than ever.
