Landscape Lighting Why only enjoy your beautiful landscaping during the day? Pro Turf Landscapes can bring your landscape to life at night. We design to accentuate the landscape and architectural style of your home and to bring out the special beauty of the night garden. We illuminate the best features, leaving dark those you wish to conceal. Think of how stunning that Japanese maple would look, up-lighted, or the subtle look of a softly lit stone walkway or stairway. Imagine grasses flooded from behind with light. Garden lighting also has a practical side. It helps you see where you're walking at night and discourages intruders by lighting the ground level clearly and eliminating shadows near the house. Our staff can tailor an outdoor lighting system to meet your specific needs! What do we Light? • Trees and Shrubs • Gardens • Pathways • Decks • Gazebos • Walls By far the most suitable lighting systems for installation in the garden environment are known as LOW VOLTAGE. These are normally 12 volts and are therefore inherently safe. Not only are they more economical to install, they can easily be expanded to grow and develop with your garden. All landscape lighting at your home or business property should always have these two priorities: • PURPOSE - Necessary Illumination Lighting for walkway safety & area security. • BEAUTY - Property Enhancement & Art Expression. A landscape lighting design should always accomplish both of these priorities at the same time, and fit into your energy budget. Recommended landscape lighting fixtures for permanent, year-round use: POST LIGHT Post lighting fixtures give you the most light for your energy dollar. Post fixtures are easy to install and easy to maintain. Post fixtures can vary in height, style and light output. Receptacles can be installed at the base for holiday lighting. MUSHROOM LIGHTS Mushroom lights are favored mostly because of their "low level" lighting along walkways & driveways (usually in sets of 3 or more). Mushroom lighting gives your property a beautiful lighting appearance but in many cases require more maintenance than other landscape fixtures. UP-LIGHTING Up-lighting fixtures can be installed under trees & shrubbery and/or at the base of the property. Up-lighting can give your property the most beautiful appearance while giving you adequate area lighting as well (reflective light). STEP-LIGHTS Step lights refer to "built in" lighting fixtures in steps, decks, retaining walls, etc. (Step lights are usually installed in coordination with the construction of these). Step lights always give you the most in lighting purpose & beauty. BOLLARD LIGHTS Bollard lighting fixtures are waist high, heavy duty fixture posts with beacon type heads that are used most commonly for commercial, industrial & institutional walkways and driveways. They are usually recommended for their vandal proof and easy to maintain characteristics while giving good Purpose & Beauty lighting. Landscape Lighting Operation Methods STANDARD WALL SWITCH - Landscape lighting can be operated simply by a wall switch or switches. A wall switch can also be used to override another system. PHOTO CONTROL - Lighting circuits remain "on" during dusk to dawn hours and shut "off" at daylight. A "kill switch" or "override switch" can be installed for manual operation. TIME CLOCK - Lighting circuits remain "on" only at set times (daylight time changes to the time clock are always necessary). A manual "on off switch" comes with the time clock. TIME CLOCK / PHOTO CONTROL COMBINATION - This system allows you to set the "off" time as desired, with the "on" time by photo control as the daylight time changes. A "kill switch" or "override switch" can also be installed for manual operation. MOTION OPERATION - Not recommended for Landscape Lighting. Back to Our Services
