We recently had our patio redone by Legacy Custom Pavers. We had a two level part wood deck/part... stone outdated patio that was not very usable. They came up with a great design to present and we were so thrilled with the process from start to finish! Robert was our contact person, and he was great to work with, prompt with appointments, knowledgeable, and had great follow-through! The pricing we received from Legacy compared to the other bids we received was very fair and even a little less than other competitors. We needed some stonework done to match an existing retaining and they have a stone mason crew that was able to handle our entire project. We had a slight delay due to structure of existing supports for our patio cover, and they handled it quickly and only charged us the cost that they paid with no markup and only delayed our project by a couple of days. They finished in their estimated time slot, which made us very happy! We could highly recommend Legacy Custom Pavers to anyone looking to do a paver project!read more

TAKING YOUR LIFE OUTSIDE

LEGACY LIGHTING SYSTEMS – GOING WELL BEYOND AESTHETICS

Outdoor lighting serves as a multi-faceted improvement for your outdoor space, offering not only beauty but also valuable security and safety benefits. The soft glow of strategically placed lights can transform your landscape into a breathtaking nighttime scene, creating an enchanting ambiance. But it doesn’t stop there.

One of the most practical advantages of outdoor lighting is the added security it provides. Well-lit paths, entrances, and dark corners act as a deterrent to potential intruders, making your home less vulnerable to break-ins. Additionally, it ensures that family and guests can navigate your property safely, preventing tripping hazards and accidents.

Furthermore, landscape lighting can extend the usability of your outdoor space well into the evening, allowing for safe gatherings, relaxation, and even play after dark. It highlights architectural features, pathways, and focal points, making your landscape more accessible and enjoyable, no matter the time of day.

Considering an Outdoor Makeover? We Can Help.

Choose Led Lighting for Performance and Energy Efficiency

Did you know that landscape lighting offers an energy-efficient solution for outdoor illumination. Low-voltage LED lighting systems significantly reduce energy costs. LEDs use up to 80% less electricity compared to traditional incandescent bulbs, translating to substantial long-term savings.

Additionally, these lights have a longer lifespan, reducing maintenance expenses. Furthermore, the ability to install timers or motion sensors ensures that outdoor lighting is only active when needed, further reducing energy consumption. With energy-efficient options and smart control features, outdoor lighting minimizes costs while providing security, aesthetics, and functionality.

DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS FOR YOUR OUTDOOR LIGHTING

Designing outdoor landscape lighting requires careful thought and planning to enhance both the beauty and functionality of your yard. Here are the biggest design considerations to keep in mind when planning your outdoor space:

Purpose: Determine the primary goal of your outdoor lighting. Are you installing lights for safety, aesthetics, or creating a cozy ambiance? Knowing the purpose will guide your decisions on what type of lighting to use and where to place it. For safety, path lights or step lights can help prevent accidents. To highlight garden features or architectural elements, spotlights or well lights are excellent choices. 

Light Placement: The placement of your lights is critical. Consider the key areas of your outdoor space that need illumination. For instance, driveways and paths benefit from path lighting, while garden beds and trees can be accented with spotlights. Lighting should not be intrusive but rather blend seamlessly with the landscape.  Similarly, don’t fall into the trap of thinking “more light is always better.” One of the magical things outdoor lighting provides is the contrast between lighter and darker areas as well as shadows.

Light Direction: Think about the direction of the light. Upward lighting creates a soft, gentle glow, ideal for creating a pleasant ambiance. Downward lighting focuses on specific areas or objects, making it great for highlighting features like sculptures, fountains, or flower beds.

Light Color: The color of your lights plays an important role in the overall mood and atmosphere. Warm white lights create a cozy and inviting feel, making them suitable for outdoor dining areas. Cool white lights offer a more modern and crisp appearance, often used for security lighting or architectural highlighting.

Energy Efficiency: Opt for energy-efficient LED lights. They consume less electricity, last longer, and reduce maintenance costs. LEDs are available in various styles and colors, ensuring you can achieve your desired look while being environmentally responsible.

Timing: Consider using timers, motion sensors, or smart technology to control when your lights turn on and off. Timers can help save energy by ensuring your lights are only on when needed. Motion sensors add a security aspect by activating lights when motion is detected. Smart lighting systems can be programmed to create custom lighting schedules and even be controlled remotely, providing flexibility and convenience. 

By addressing these design considerations, you can create a well-thought-out outdoor lighting scheme that not only enhances the beauty of your landscape but also serves its intended purpose effectively.
