Light up your World!

Now that spring is just around the corner, we will be spending more and more time outdoors.  Many people no longer consider their yard just a place that needs mowing but rather as an extended living space with outdoor rooms.

Preferred has been creating outdoor rooms for our clients for years and one of the biggest mistakes we see people make is not finishing the space with the right lighting.  Without the right outdoor lighting, homeowners are pushed indoors when the sun sets regardless of the great outdoor living space you have.  However with the right lighting, your outdoor living space becomes fully functional and you can continue your party long after the sun goes down.

Deck and patio lighting should highlight the setting while also enhancing the safety and the security of the home.  Landscape Lighting has come so far in recent years with many different fixture options making it easy to find what works best for your space.   We were inspired by these fabulous spaces that were done in Kichler Lighting, the brand most used by Preferred Landscape and Lighting.  If you would like to discuss how we can help you light up your outdoor world, give us a call 210-657-7737.

Outdoor Living - Create a space you LOVE!

Do you enjoy your backyard?  Do you even use your backyard?  I am willing to guess most of you answered "No" to one or both of those questions. 

With summer upon us, it is time to take the plunge and do the backyard renovation you have been dreaming of.  Let us design an outdoor living area that fits with your lifestyle.  We can create outdoor kitchens, relaxing pergolas, cozy fireplace and firepits just to name a few.

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.

Super Bowl = Super Fun

Did you host a Super Bowl party this past weekend?  The weather was perfect to have an outside party here in San Antonio.    We recently completed an outdoor living space project for one our clients that was the best place for a Super Bowl party!

I know what you are thinking - where is the TV?  A custom TV cabinet was in the process of being built when this picture was taken but was installed prior to the big game!

If you are looking for a way to enjoy the outdoors more, a new outdoor living space is just what you need.  We can help you design and install the perfect outdoor space to host a party or to enjoy a quiet evening at home or anything in between.
