Now that fall temperatures have arrived in the Clearwater and Tampa Bay area, it’s time to spruce up your landscaping. With sap low, it’s time to prune trees, bushes, and vines, reseed the lawn, and apply fertilize. It is also the best time to plant for many varieties. Even though there aren’t as many flowers blooming, there’s still a lot to do in the yard and garden. Once done, you’ll want these new additions and modifications to shine, especially this spring, so don’t forget the outdoor lighting. If you have a system, it’s time for some additions. If you don’t, it’s time to show off your property.
Though you may it would be better to do one project at a time, there are actually benefits to installing outdoor lighting while you are doing new landscaping project. Lighting needs to be integrated into your landscaping in order for illumination to be the best. This can be accomplished at any time. However, it is better for your trees and shrubs if you can minimize the trauma they experience from being moved or dug around. By installing outdoor lighting while you are making landscaping additions, your trees and shrubs will be much better off. Often landscaping modifications involve creation of structures like garden walls. Conduit for wiring can be laid during construction of such elements, reducing the need for drilling, cutting, and chiseling. Giving your outdoor lighting designer the opportunity to work with your landscaper and other contractors allows for more outdoor lighting possibilities with less work time. It’s easier on everyone involved.
Addition of outdoor lighting during these constructions and installations also minimizes the amount of time your property will be in disarray. All construction and installation causes a little chaos on your property. Areas are dug up, mulch lies in piles, and there are holes dotting the lawn. If outdoor lighting can be installed during this construction, you won’t have to deal with such disorder all over again when we come to install your wiring, transformer, and fixtures.
We know there is a lot going on during landscape additions, but taking care of your landscape lighting now can save you headache later on. So call Outdoor Lighting Perspectives of Clearwater & Tampa Bay.
