Start With the Foundation
The foundation of landscape lighting can be the spotlight, a light that can be used in multiple locations and for various purposes. Adding spotlights to features of your home and landscape can highlight those things that you love about your property such as stone columns on the front entry or a majestic tree.
Adding spotlights to the actual foundation of your home can draw the eye to your house and make it stand out once the sun sets. Another wonderful feature about spotlights is that you can change the color depending on the holiday if that is your preference.
Add Some Trees
Your landscape service can help you decide which trees would look amazing wrapped in lights to create a lighted wonderland within the yard. Some trees look best when starting with lights from the base of the trunk and others look better with lights just in the branches. Because a trained team has the experience you need with seasonal and holiday lighting, they can design a plan for your trees to be perfectly illuminated.
Not every tree has to look the same, with the same pattern of color lights, but the sets of colors can be varied to create a unique experience. There are large round globe bulbs that can complement the small lights wrapping the tree and there are illuminated snowflakes—the only limit is your imagination.
Highlight the Roofline
Many homeowners like the look of lights outlining the roofline. Adding those lights to the eaves requires having the right equipment and expertise to do it safely. Icicle lights can spill downward to create a pretty effect, or you might want multicolored large bulbs or even snowflakes that hang gently.
Consider Special Effects
If the thought of something completely different is what you are seeking, tell your landscape specialists as they can place lighted round orbs at various places in your landscape, illuminated wreaths on the windows of your home, or perhaps space out whimsical lights that outline the walkway. Large planters could be switched out with seasonal greenery, and wispy white branches and temporary lights could flank your front entry. Or maybe you like the look of custom garland around the front of your porch. No matter what you want in festive lights—or if you don’t know what you want and need ideas—there’s a way to make your home one of the most festive on the block.
When you leave the landscape lighting to the experts, all you have to do is sit back and be ready to accept all the compliments on how dazzling your Madison, WI, landscape looks once the sun sets. Set on a timer and worry-free, your festive landscape lights can dress up the exterior for the holidays to delight you and your guests.
