What a difference outdoor lighting can do!

We recently completed an LED lighting job that really changed the look of their property and allows the client to truly enjoy their backyard at night.

Light up the Night

Landscape Lighting is often overlooked as it is usually the last thing to install in a large landscape project.  However, it really makes a huge difference to your home and your landscape.  It makes your home welcoming to guests and provides security.  It also can put a spotlight on your favorite areas in your landscape such as a majestic tree or water feature.  Pathlights can highlight your softscape or provide much needed light on a walkway.  If you have an outdoor firplace, you will be using it mostly in the dark so lights are essential.  If you are considering a lighting project, give us a call for a free consultation.  These lighting pictures are part of a large landscape project that we have recently completed for a longtime client.

Testimonial Tuesday

Here is recent feedback from a client who had Preferred Landscape and Lighting redo her landscaping and install LED lighting.

"Due to a fire at my house, the entire yard ended up being a construction site as the house was being rebuilt.  Preferred came in and totally redid the landscaping. I was extremely impressed with how they cleaned it up, established new drainage (better than I had before) and gave me a beautiful yard of no grass, but gravel walkways, flowering shrubs and plants and strategically placed large boulders.  I can see that the new drip irrigation system is already saving me money.  Every single person who came to work was polite, accommodating and ready to work when they arrived. I am totally pleased with the end result and would recommend this company to anyone which I have been doing as friends and neighbors ask who did the new landscaping.  Thank you Preferred Landscaping and Lighting!"

We love hearing from our customers!

There is nothing better than when we recieve kind words from our clients who are happy with their experience with Preferred Landscape and Lighting.  The following is recent feedback we received on an outdoor living space. 

 

"We contacted Darryl a year after he installed some LED lighting for us in our front yard.  He had mentioned that he did a lot more than just top quality landscape lighting.

  

We had a nice back patio that came with builder upgrades on our home but it was not protected from the elements.  We asked

Darryl to draw up some plans that allowed us to have a completely covered space so that the area would become more useable throughout all the seasons.  Darryl came back with a plan that included large timber western red cedar posts and beams, tong and groove stained pine ceilings, and a high quality built in grill.  Before he drew these plans we talked budget and time frame and they actual plans came in on target. 

Darryl never came back and asked for any change orders and he kept us informed of the progress via email. 

  

A few weeks later we had a beautiful completely covered outdoor patio space that has already hosted numerous events for our friends and family.  Thank you to Darryl and the Preferred team.  Hopefully we can start phase 3 of the project soon."  ~John G.

Let it Shine!

Fall is a great time to update your outdoor lighting and evening is the time to show your home in its best light.  LED is the revolution in outdoor lighting offering huge cost savings because it uses less electricity then tradional lighting. 
Preferred Landscape and Lighting works with several different LED suppliers in order to bring you an extensive selection of LED fixtures. There are designs to fit all your needs in accent lights to path lights and everything in between. 

Here are some pictures of a recent lighting job we completed that shows a few examples of LED lighting options.



We love the new LED lights from Kichler to use on steps, deck, bench and outdoor kitchens



An accent light can really create a dramatic look in your landscape

Benefits of LED Lighting

LED is the revolution in outdoor lighting.  It has a long list of benefits over traditional lighting options. Preferred uses several different brands of LED but this list will focus on the specific benefits of the Kichler brand of LED lighting.

• LED lights have a life expectancy of 50,000 hours - that is an average of 15 years! 
• LED uses 75% less energy than traditional lighting.  This is better for the environment and saves you money. 
• LED doesn't attract insects - enjoy your yard without the annoyance of light fixtures that attract bugs
• LED lights are smaller than tranditional lights and blend in with the landscape.
• The Kichler LED lights have a 15 year warranty.

Summer Night Lights

 

Summer nights are the perfect time to enjoy the outdoors while escaping the heat of the day.  The right outdoor lights can turn your ordinary yard into an enchanted garden. 

Light up the night with new state of the art LED lighting. Create a full moon effect given by properly placed fixtures at strategic locations creating dramatic light and shadows across your yard and landscape.  Create a intimate dining area setting your arbor aglow.
