Just OK Landscape Lighting vs Magical Landscape Lighting

Each week I get a few phone calls that start the same way. The caller has a lighting system that is one to three years old. It just doesn’t look like others they have seen. They ask if I can stop by and take a look. These homeowners have just OK landscape lighting. What they want is magical landscape lighting.

Why does some landscape lighting look just OK?

Often the installer gave them a very basic setup. They probably never came back at night to focus the lights. Without that final step, even good fixtures can fall flat.

When I get these calls, I set up a time to visit during the day. I look at the existing system and talk through what the property could become.

What makes landscape lighting magical?

I spent 35+ years in concert and theatrical lighting. That background lets me see a property from a different perspective. My work has also earned Masters of Landscape Lighting recognition.

I work to create depth, definition and layers. Together they turn OK into magical landscape lighting. Our signature look is warm 2700K light, soft and low, with no glare.

Some lighting vendors have seen my work and now send me samples of their products.

Can an older system be improved?

Often, yes. Learn more in Replacing Old Landscape Lighting. You can also read about our professional landscape lighting consultation. Wondering about cost? See Think Hiring a Professional Is Expensive?

After any new installation, I return at night to fine-tune every fixture.
