FAQs

1. What is landscape lighting and audio and why should I consider it?

Landscape lighting can be defined as the design and installation of outdoor lighting fixtures. Landscape lighting enhances your property and home’s beauty, safety and enchantment after dark. Softly illuminating trees, pathways, patios, architectural features, art and water features inviting you into these spaces. Landscape lighting also creates safety for outdoor spaces making them easy to navigate.

Landscape audio is the design and installation of weather-resistant components for high-quality sound in your outdoor living areas. Audio systems are designed for background ambiance from quiet conversations, dinners with family and friends and the celebrations you’ll be sharing with both. Audio systems when placed correctly invite you to linger a bit longer, enjoy your outdoor spaces with new senses and are strategically designed for you to enjoy without your neighbors even knowing you have them on.

2. Will landscape lighting increase my energy bill?

No. Landscape lighting utilizes low-voltage LED fixtures and lamps – typically drawing less energy in your yard than an incandescent 60-watt lamp inside your home.

3. Can landscape lighting be automated to turn on and off?

Yes! Landscape lighting systems can be controlled by astronomical timers (adjusting to dusk and dawn throughout the year) programmed to your schedule. More often than not these timers are also connected and controlled by your cell phone and/or your smart home system.

4. Why might my current landscape lighting not look right or feel uneven?

Landscape lighting can look uneven or ‘off balance’ for a number of reasons. Typically this is due to factors such as animals, mowers, trimmers and weather factors. Inconsistent fixture placement or mismatched lighting types can often be the cause for this. A well designed and installed system considers balance and flow. This creates smooth transitions and hides all sources of illumination.

5. What is the importance of having a dedicated lighting team?

A dedicated lighting team is trained and focused only on lighting your property. This insures the design, installation and implementation of your lighting will be done by seasoned experts giving you the best quality and aesthetic. During your first meeting, our lighting designers will meet with you to understand your vision and how you would like your space to feel once the sun goes down. We will thoughtfully integrate your vision into lighting your architecture, and landscape design that gives visual interest, safe passage and security. Our team is also committed to responsible lighting practices including Dark Sky Principles that reduce light pollution and glare. After installation our ongoing care and maintenance program will ensure your system continues to perform for years to come.

6. Can an outdoor audio system disturb my neighbors?

Our targeted design actually prevents this. By using a higher quantity of small, directional satellite speakers angled inward toward your seating areas—rather than blasting two giant speakers from the side of your house—we contain the sound footprint to your property.

7. Are these audio systems truly weatherproof?

Yes. The premium hardware we install is rigorously engineered to withstand extreme Colorado elements, including intense UV exposure, heavy rain, and deep winter freezing.

8. How do you hide the wiring in an existing landscape?

Our installation teams use specialized trenching tools that slice thin lines into your turf and beds to drop wires out of sight, leaving virtually no trace of disruption to your mature landscaping.

9. Can my existing lighting system be retrofitted to LEDs?

In many cases, yes. We can audit your existing transformers and wiring, upgrading your outdated halogen fixtures to energy-efficient LED technology while vastly improving the design layout.

Illuminate Your Evenings

Your landscape deserves to be experienced day and night. Whether you’re enhancing a private residence or elevating a commercial property, our team is ready to design a lighting and audio system tailored to your vision.
