Landscape Lighting Louisville, KY

Landscape lighting begins with the proper positioning of the lights. You certainly want the area where you, your family and guests will be sitting to be properly lit. You also want the lights to draw out the most decorated parts of your yard, while minimizing the visibility of other parts. If these factors are given appropriate consideration in the original design and installation of the rest of the landscape, lighting position can be a natural step in the process. 

This requires strategic thought between you and your lighting contractor. Do you want the plants highlighted? Do you have an outdoor fireplace area where someone may need light to cook at night? Are there paver pathways that should be lit up so people can easily find their way back to the house? Where are your flower beds positioned?

Once lights are positioned, further thought can be undertaken to create the most appropriate atmosphere. Do you want to be able to create a romantic setting by having dimmer lights in certain areas? Or do you have kids that will play outdoors, and you want those lights to be brighter so they can continue well past dark? Do you want the lighting to be able to move and offer a sense of drama to your friends and family during a party?
