Landscape Lighting
Tommy Pollina Landscape designs and installs landscape lighting. Strategically placed landscape lights extend your enjoyment and use of your yard well into the evening. Typically, outdoor lighting is used to accomplish 3 basic objectives:
- (1) Safety
- (2) Accenting your Landscape
- (3) Accenting your Architecture
Safety
Statistics indicate that outside lighting of a home is one of the best deterrents to burglary. Additionally, walkways, paths and stairways illuminated by elegant lighting fixtures provide enhanced safety as you, your family and your guests move about your property after the sun goes down. The landscape lighting that Tommy Pollina Landscape installs will work throughout all seasons and weather conditions. Kichler Lighting is one of the popular brands of outdoor landscape lighting and low voltage exterior lighting that Tommy Pollina Landscape installs.
Accenting your Landscape
Just as lighting is used to create a mood or serve a particular function in your home, landscape lighting does the same thing in your yard. Outdoor lighting can be used to highlight the naturally beautiful textures and lines of your trees and shrubs. With landscape lighting installed in the right places you will create soft and alluring shadows as well as exhibit the textures and shapes of your garden. For example, lights can be placed below trees to create dramatic up lighting that exhibits the tree's canopy in a way that can only be seen and appreciated in the dark. Or you can also place the lighting in the trees beaming down which creates a soft moonlike down lighting. Lights with motion detectors can highlight a path or yard adding a further safety feature.
Architecture Accentuation
Outdoor lighting can serve multiple uses by illuminating your landscape and the architecture. Each home has its own unique features: an unusual roof line, an elegant entry way and door, interesting window frames or even an attractive stone or brick façade. No matter what architectural feature you would like to accent, there is a lighting solution available.
The designers at Tommy Pollina Landscape know how to produce the most dramatic effects of your home and landscape and will ensure your outdoor lighting complements your home’s architecture and yard’s vegetation, as well as provides the safety functions you require. Our installation technicians are professional and fully insured.
