Tree and Bush Landscape Lighting

If you’re like most homeowners, you put a good deal of effort into making sure the property your house sits on is in good shape. That means regularly working in your yard or garden and even having occasional help from professional landscapers. The results are often stunning — especially when you sit back on the weekend and look at the sun shining through your trees, casting a wonderful light onto your shrubs, bushes and flowering plants. So why should that enjoyment and pride you feel end when the sun goes down?

With landscape lighting for trees and landscape lighting for bushes, you get to enjoy your property throughout the evening as well. And along with the aesthetic qualities it adds to the exterior of your home, landscape lighting allows you, your family, your pets and any guests to enjoy your yard with extra safety and comfort by eliminating dark corners and shadows where unwanted creatures or prowlers could be lurking.

Landscape Lighting Installation — Westchester, NY

For landscape lighting installation in Yonkers, NY, and throughout all of Westchester County, you’re best advised to work with a lighting specialist — like our well-trained, licensed pros from Lippolis Electric. Since you want your landscape lighting to work safely without emptying your wallet, you’ll need an electrician to install a step-down transformer for a lower-voltage lighting system than the 120 volts that run throughout your home’s electrical system. In addition, with a timer system and energy-saving LED bulbs, you can enjoy your landscape lighting without having to do a thing.

There are a number of outdoor lighting sources we regularly install. Each has its own unique effect for casting a particular beam of light and level of brightness. Here’s a brief description of some of the most popular styles:

• Wash: A wash-style light is a softer light source that throws out a diffuse beam. It’s well suited for illuminating flat surfaces like garden fences, rows of bushes and house facades. 
• Well: Typically buried or flush with the ground, well lighting is hidden in a waterproof covering so that no lighting housing protrudes, making it invisible to the eye. When lit, it casts its beam upwards, bringing attention to the base of a tree, plant or other fixture in your garden.
• Bullet: Designed to project a bright, focused beam, bullet lighting is typically used to illuminate trees, shrubs and garden features with a very precise and accurate feel. In addition to trees, bullet lighting is also used to illuminate statues and other outdoor focal points.
• Downlight: To create a moonlight effect, downlights are mounted high up on tree trunks and/or architectural features in order to cast a soft, dispersed beam of light downwards onto walkways and lawns. A word of caution: Since improper mounting can result in serious damage to your trees, you should only have an experienced professional install downlights.
