Posted on December 26, 2018 by outdoorlightingnashville

Did you know Outdoor Lighting Perspectives of Nashville can expertly light your backyard fire features so that you can get maximum year-round enjoyment whether you are gathered around or not? That’s right — After all, why should your outdoor fireplace or fire pit lay in darkness when it isn’t being used? We can show you how to give it a vivid glow even on nights you choose not to light it.

The Joy Of Backyard Fire Features

Here in the Nashville area, it is a pleasure to gather around the fire roasting marshmallows or indulging in a cup of hot cocoa well into winter thanks to the heat put out by our backyard fire features. Even though it’s dark outside, We can safely and elegantly light your patio, deck and other outdoor living areas so that your family can relish a toasty fire from your outdoor fireplace or fire pit. Outdoor lighting can ensure easy navigation by illuminating your backyard areas clearly, too!

Nashville fire pit lighting

We can add subtle festival decorative outdoor lighting draped overhead so that it doesn’t hamper the flicker of the flames coming from your fire pit, but you can throw an evening party and everyone can easily walk around without fear of tripping. We can cast a beautiful wash of light on your fireplace or your fire pit area so that it becomes a focal point in your winter garden—even when it isn’t in use.

Festival Lighting Used Above Fire Pit

We all know a crackling fire looks beautiful, but the trick is having your fire pit look equally as inviting even when there are no flames present. On a rainy or cold day when you are too busy to sit fireside outdoors, you can still have the appearance from your window or deck that a warm fire is actually glowing. Our lighting designers use expert techniques to bathe your fire feature area with warmth and coziness that draws your eyes and elevates your mood, even in the darkness.

Nashville Backyard Lighting

Outdoor fire pits and fireplaces are expensive investments to add to your Nashville property, so it makes sense to be able to enjoy them every night even when not in use. Add value to your landscape by making sure these features stand out and look beautiful if you are using them or not. We can enhance their usability and make them inviting during every day of the year. Who wants to look at a hulking piece of masonry or hardscape sitting in blackness in your yard with no appeal? We will show you how to light all the dark corners of your backyard to full advantage and bring everything out of the shadows.

Nashville festival lighting

As the Nashville area’s premier outdoor lighting company, we understand the delicate balance of how to light a fire feature so that it can be enjoyed while you are sitting directly in front of it, or looking at it from your living room window. We skillfully use landscape fixtures that provide a natural appeal and can be hidden from view to that the whole area is layered in warmth. It doesn’t matter if your fire pit or fireplace is a new addition to an existing patio or if you are building a new home from scratch—we can make sure to add the necessary wiring and commercial grade fixtures to achieve the look you desire.

Outdoor Lighting Perspectives of Nashville is eager to assist you with your Middle Tennessee outdoor fireplace and fire pit lighting to add beauty and safety. Call us today at (615) 373-0638. Or, email us at olpnashville@outdoorlights.com.

Reinvent Thanksgiving by Flipping the Bird to Traditional Turkey Prep!

Posted on November 22, 2018 by outdoorlightingnashville

Thanksgiving bespeaks tradition, and it’s one day a year that families convene in honor of time-tested practices. Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, for most of the country, viewed on TV, loved-ones traveling long distances to “come home,” gobbling up (pun intended) every possible morsel of ritualistic Thanksgiving fare before our post-banquet naps! Outdoor Lighting Perspectives of Nashville would like to challenge you all to change it up this year in one very important way by throwing out the traditional turkey prep and cooking methods to try something new.

thanksgiving turkey preparation ideas from outdoor lighting perspectives of nashville

1. Everything is better with bacon, period.

Ravenous carnivores, this one’s for you! This new method of preparing turkey just makes sense. Eliminate the need to constantly baste, roast, baste…let the bacon do the basting! All that sweet bacon-y goodness will seep right into the turkey as it cooks. Can you imagine smelling this incredible union as it cooks? This recipe will have your family devouring turkey in under two hours of cook time!

bacon makes everything better

2. Thrill your millennial family members with pumpkin spice turkey! What?!?

Stay with us here, this actually sounds pretty darned delicious, and hey, if your guests are in a hurry, they will essentially be eating the main course and dessert at once! It’s all in seasoning, and you need to season while chilling overnight. We admit that covering the roast beast with cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg sounds incredible! Want to take a stab? See the whole recipe here!

If you’re roasting, frying, smoking, or grilling your turkey outdoors, we hope you have Nashville deck lighting!

3. 100-proof turkey for the Vodka enthusiast – You might find yourself and your guests are roasted after dinner.

This method of turkey cooking is not for the faint of heart, or anyone under the age of 21, for that matter. This prep includes soaking the honorary bird and all the bird-related trimmings in five flavors of vodka overnight – peach, cherry, orange, lemon and apple – and injecting the meat after cooking. Don’t forget to call your guests and Uber and send them home with an aspirin to stave off a hangover! See the recipe here.

4. Mole-roasted turkey – holy mole! Is your mouth watering, or is that ours?

This drool-inducing concoction includes smothering your turkey inside and out with mole overnight. Not familiar with the traditional Mexican sauce? Chiles and chocolate, folks, and it’s incredible! Chocolate, much like bacon, makes everything taste better. This turkey comes out of the oven nearly blackened, fall-off-the-bone moist, and is recommended to be served with Masa stuffing and spicy chili gravy! You have to see this – go here now!

If you are having after-dinner drinks on your Nashville patio, we hope you have proper patio lighting. If not, be prepared for next year with Nashville patio lighting!

5. White Castle-stuffed turkey. Need we say more?

This inventive way of turkey prep has us chucking the traditional stuffing, and replacing it with White Castle sliders. Yes, you read that correctly. If you have ever found yourselves craving a juicy, steamed slider on Thanksgiving Day, this will surely be the remedy! You’ll need one slider for each pound of turkey. See the recipe here.

We know this is off the beaten path from our regular blog posts, and we hope that if you haven’t found a new take on traditional turkey prep herein, that you at least got a chuckle at these ever-inventive ways to cook a Thanksgiving turkey. We hope that you are gathered with loved-ones this year, celebrating the greatest Thanksgiving tradition – the true gift of being with family and friends. Happy Thanksgiving, Nashville!

Nashville Outdoor Lighting For Nashville Outdoor Living

Posted on May 30, 2018 by outdoorlightingnashville

For many Middle Tennessee residents, this past weekend marked the beginning of the 2018 outdoor living season. There was no shortage of cookouts, get-togethers and outdoor celebrations in the Nashville area and all across our great nation! Much of the weekend was probably spent in your backyard, enjoying time on your deck, patio, by the pool or other outdoor living space.

With this in mind, Outdoor Lighting Perspectives of Nashville wants to know if you were forced to cut the party short because of the setting sun?

If the answer is yes, you have certainly come to the right place!

Whether it is reading a good book out on the patio or entertaining family and friends for a Memorial Day backyard BBQ, we know that spending time outdoors is what you enjoy best about summer. We also know that enhancing your outdoor living spaces with outdoor lighting in your backyard will enrich your outdoor experience in many ways.

Lighting can increase your time outside — Without outdoor lighting, the time spent in your outdoor spaces is cut short with the arrival of dusk. By simply having lights installed around your porch, patio, deck or pool you can increase the amount of time you can spend enjoying these spaces.

Nashville Deck and patio lighting Lighting provides safety and security— Getting from your deck to your fire pit with a tray of s’more’s in the dark can be tricky and potentially hazardous. By illuminating your pathways, you’ll keep your friends and family safe from any trips or falls and keep the evening’s festivities flowing.

Nashville Festival Lighting Over Backyard Firepit Lighting sets the mood — Whether you are indoors looking out, or outdoors enjoying the moment, lighting has the ability set the perfect mood for any type of situation: romantic, fun, eclectic. We custom design your outdoor lighting to help create the mood you want within and looking into, your outdoor living space(s).

Add Drama to your Nashville Landscape this Season with Outdoor Lighting!

Posted on April 4, 2017 by outdoorlightingnashville

Few seasons bring as much joy as the arrival of spring. Here in Nashville, there is much to see and do. From a visit to the zoo at Grassmere, catching a MusicCity concert, to a stroll through beautiful Cheekwood Estate & Gardens during the Cheekwood in Bloom event. Look around, there’s no place more beautiful and alive than Nashville in the spring.

On the homefront, Nashvillians are busy sprucing up their homes and landscapes in honor of the season. This often includes adding or extending an outdoor living space or revamping the landscape. Outdoor Lighting Perspectives of Nashville can add drama and enhance the function and beauty of your spring endeavors through the addition of outdoor lighting.

Lighting added to stairway into children’s treehouse.

Outdoor lighting serves as a beneficial addition to outdoor spaces such as decks, patios and even children’s play areas such as a treehouse. Through illumination, you are able to increase the safety of a space and in turn, increase the time you can spend enjoying your outdoors. Our Nashville outdoor lighting portfolio is loaded with inspiration for lighting for outdoor living spaces.

When it comes to improving the look and feel of your Nashville landscape — lighting is the answer. From formal gardens, perennial beds, or a complete landscape overhaul, we can add beauty to your investment.

Nashville landscape and water feature lighting.

If you are planning landscape or outdoor living space additions or have a property lacking outdoor lighting, we can design a system from scratch and lay everything out. It’s always best to include your outdoor lighting architect in your home-build or landscape renovation projects upfront so that we can work in tandem with your contractor to take advantage of the construction phase. Being proactive can save you money and hassle later when it comes time to determine where power and fixtures need to be if you plan in advance.

Even if you don’t plan on adding outdoor lighting right away, we can install sleeves before your hardscapes and other structures are poured or built. Sleeves allow wiring to easily be passed through at any time instead of having to dig under existing hardscape like concrete. This proactive approach minimizes on mess and causes less disruption of the landscape. It also helps in case you have an issue with wiring later on as it can be quickly serviced or replaced through the same sleeve.

Of course, we are always happy to work around your existing outdoor structures and landscaping. We will come in and evaluate your property and work around existing structures wherever possible–so don’t fret if you forgot to include landscape lighting in your initial plans.

The Results Are In for What Nashville Homeowners Desire in Outdoor Lighting

Posted on May 9, 2016 by outdoorlightingnashville

Outdoor lighting needs are different for every homeowner, and Outdoor Lighting Perspectives of Nashville offers a custom approach that is far from cookie-cutter. Not only will landscape lighting get your property looking stunning every evening, it offers the bonus of added security and safety, too. Our lighting designers come in and intertwine all three aspects in a cohesive package that gives you a tremendous bang for your buck when it comes to crafting your illumination scheme. No matter what your budget, we can give you a look and feel that is all your own when it comes to outdoor lighting and all the benefits that come with it.

Qualified Remodeler recently conducted a survey that solidified what we already knew at Outdoor Lighting Perspectives of Nashville—that homeowners still put a big emphasis of Importance in lighting their outdoor living and entertaining areas. The main and largest part of their backyard—the patio or deck—are #1 on their list since that’s where they spend the most time with family and friends. The components that make up these areas and pull it all together to bring practicality are next on their hit list, including the steps, seating areas, railings and the post caps. It makes perfect sense that deck rails can easily be seen to safely guide visitors up and down to the lower levels; and that post cap illumination would provide a soft glow that is not only attractive, but useful in terms of providing a spread of ambient light.

The deck and patio are the core centerpieces of any backyard, and that’s where most of the fun happens including dining, grilling, relaxing and family parties. It makes perfect sense that our clients are looking to enhance this area since it’s the hardest working area in your outdoor oasis. We want our decks to not only look fabulous, but we want the lighting to offer the convenience of helping us with visibility so that we can extend the hours of use well into the evening. We can give you targeted task lighting that helps you see when at the barbecue, overhead café style lighting that can be draped across a large breadth of space that looks cool and brings plenty of light to do virtually anything under, and we can ensure all the key features of your deck and patio (such as steps) are lit to provide you the safety you need to make them work to their fullest.

Clients say their foliage, trees and shrubs are of special importance to highlight as families are looking to showcase their ‘green thumbs’ more and more. Our clients want us to make their flower beds, tree canopies and the shrubbery at the front of their home glow with a moonlit appeal in the evenings so their hard work in the garden can be seen day and night. We can make these garden areas glimmer at night and put in perimeter lighting that makes your property look bigger than it actually is thanks to fool-the-eye techniques we can implement.

With water features becoming more and more prevalent in our outdoor spaces–the requests for fountain, pond, waterfall and pool lighting has increased. Families are looking to make these watery enchantments a stand-out feature in their yards and they are seeking to enjoy their use and beauty even in the darkest hours. Our expert lighting designers know exactly how to capture the movement and character that water provides to give you unparalleled relaxation.

Tell us what is important in your back yard when it comes to outdoor landscape lighting, and we will make your dreams come true.

Endless benefits abound with Nashville backyard lighting!

Posted on February 1, 2016 by outdoorlightingnashville

The best way to make your backyard look and feel like an outdoor oasis is to think about your illumination plan BEYOND the front door. If all you have is a light at your entryway and a few fixtures casting a harsh light on your home’s façade and a blaring flood light on your driveway–you are missing out a whole outdoor lighting experience that can enhance your outdoor lifestyle tremendously!

Hardworking families are spending more and more hours at the office, doing homework and running around with endless activities—and most people don’t get home until well after the sun has set. The only way to nurture time with family and friends after dusk is by lighting up the areas in your backyard you enjoy spending time. Make your outdoor space just as useable as your indoor spaces by thinking of your outdoor landscape illumination in the same you do about inside lighting.

Lots of people seem to ignore their backyards as an extension of real estate that is available for evening entertaining with their family and friends. It’s possible to light up the entire perimeter of your property and make your deck or patio a place that is just as comfortable and welcoming as your living room thanks to an outdoor lighting scheme that will make your outdoor spaces highly functional. Why sit cooped inside with the kids when everyone can be having just as much fun outdoors and getting a good dose of fresh air? Get everyone off the computer and TV and get everyone outside for family bonding and memories.

Our energy-efficient LED outdoor lighting uses very little power and brings in plenty of light so that you can hang out doing all the things your family loves to do like playing a game of football on the lawn, some Scrabble by the fire pit or dining al’ fresco while Dad is flipping burgers under some good task lighting at the grill. Outdoor Lighting Perspectives of Nashville’s outdoor lighting systems are programmable, so they are designed to work to fit your lifestyle. We place lights where you need them so you can make the most out of each backyard zone that your family and friends hang out. We can drape decorative festival lighting across large expanses such as your patio or deck so that you’ve got good overhead lighting that is both elegant and practical.

We also go beyond just pathway, task and façade lighting, too. We have artistic lights that add incredible drama and personality to your evenings as well. Even if it’s raining or cold outside, you can enjoy a gorgeous view of your wonderful backyard from your windows. We can highlight special features such as a water feature, your pool, an outdoor sculpture or a fabulous ornamental tree.

Good outdoor lighting changes the way you live, brings your family outdoors to gather and gives you added space to enjoy what feels a lot like a stay-cation when you get home from work and school. Let Outdoor Lighting Perspectives of Nashville create a relaxing outdoor oasis of relaxation in your backyard through romantic outdoor lighting!

Outdoor Lighting Brings Fun to Backyard Football on the TV Screen or on the Field!

Posted on September 9, 2015 by outdoorlightingnashville

Who says home entertainment can’t happen outdoors—particularly during football season? We are lucky enough in Nashville that the weather stays warm deep into the year, and watching TV outdoors on your porch, deck or patio with friends and family is a lot more fun than sitting on the couch inside. Think of all the fun that can be had with the game on while you are grilling on the barbecue outdoors!

Proper outdoor lighting is what enables backyard entertaining well into the evening and Outdoor Lighting Perspectives of Nashville can illuminate the areas where you choose to hang out. It doesn’t matter if it’s the porch, deck, patio or even a backyard man cave if you are so lucky–you can be sure that you will be able to impress the boys (and girls!) by watching the big game right in the comfort of your backyard with high quality outdoor lighting fixtures that are made right here in Nashville.

When watching sports on your outdoor TV, the luxury of having a grilling/barbecue area or an outside kitchen is a huge benefit. The mess can stay outdoors and all the cooking can happen right where all the action is so you don’t have to miss a thing as the host. We can provide you with functional area-specific lighting that ensures those burgers get cooked exactly how your guests want them without having to guess if they are done. Why cook by flashlight or your home’s spotlights when you can have proper overhead and task lighting to handle the job safely? You can increase the value and usability of your outdoor kitchen and get a lot more functionality out of it if it’s easy to see and get the work done easily. It’s also cool to show off your culinary skills too!

Of course, when half-time hits, great lighting gives you the opportunity to turn up the fun by tossing around the football with friends and family on the lawn. Our landscape lighting will provide you plenty of light to be able to do this while still looking beautiful. Outdoor Lighting Perspectives of Nashville can ensure that there is increased visibility for everyone who chooses to jump into the game. Proper lighting can also clearly delineate your “field area” so no one tramples your rose bushes (ouch!) or heads down a slope because they can’t see. We can give you the benefit of function, beauty and safety all in one package.

In addition, as part of Residential Resources, Outdoor Lighting Perspectives of Nashville works closely with other local Nashville companies to provide a vast menu of possibilities for your backyard. We can connect you with fellow businesses that we’ve partnered with extensively–such as The Porch Company if you are considering a custom porch project to serve as your outdoor man cave, or Siteworks Hardscape Construction for your pool, patio or hardscape needs. It’s always best in an outdoor project when all the contractors can be brought in together so they can collaborate on the job from the very beginning. It saves you time, money and a lot of hassle when everyone is on the same game plan.

Labor Day Party Planning is in Gear! Get your Lighting Updated Now for Evening Fun!

Posted on August 10, 2015 by outdoorlightingnashville

Labor Day is right around the corner!

Labor Day is just around the corner and it’s the last big outdoor hurrah of the summer season. With the days getting shorter and nightfall making an earlier entrance, make sure your outside living area gets special treatment so that your holiday weekend party can continue well into the evening hours.

Outdoor Lighting Perspectives of Nashville can tackle the job of maintaining your existing system, adding to it or installing a brand new lighting program from scratch. We can put you on the schedule right now for a pre-Labor Day inspection so you are ready for your outdoor family gathering.

First, we make sure your system is working properly and that any burned out bulbs are replaced. This is a great time to consider converting your old-school halogens to all LED lighting since the bulbs last way longer and they consume a lot less electricity. We come in and check all your wiring and make sure it’s all intact and we re-bury any wire that has made its way to the surface due to any landscape activity or rain. We check all your fixtures to make sure they are in good shape, aligned properly, and free of dirt or spider webs, and we can trim any plant overgrowth that blocks the beam of light. We check your transformer to make sure that it is carrying the load of wattage properly and that your timer is functioning as it should, too.

Now is a good time to decide if you want to add additional light to enhance your system or perhaps you feel that an upgrade is necessary. We can give you a whole different look in terms of ambience and mood if you are simply ready for a change in how your home and property are illuminated. We can take a look at where family and friends primarily hang out in your backyard and make sure that those spots are lit up so they not only look beautiful, but they are also safe from being too dim to avoid slip and falls. Lighting a step up or down to a patio or deck, for example, is a great spot for light so that guests can easily navigate it. We ensure your pathways from your driveway to your yard are visible enough for visitors to be able to walk on safely, too. Keep in mind that if it’s hard to see, your guests will just naturally head indoors—so keep things visible enough so that guests feel comfortable continuing the outdoor celebration.

Since cooking and dining is a given on Labor Day, we will make sure your outdoor kitchen or barbecue area is lit so that the home cook can work his or her culinary magic easily and guests can also see clearly enough to grab a drink and see their plates. We do this without harsh, blaring spotlights that were used decades ago and skillfully provide illumination so that the area still looks completely natural and part of the rest of your landscape.

If your pool is a natural hang out for your Labor Day festivities, we will make sure your pool deck or patio is spectacularly lit up so the fun doesn’t have to stop in the twilight hours. We can light the landscape areas around your pool or pond to give this area incredible dimension and draw people to it. September is a great time to hang by your fire pit, so we can elegantly wash this area with a warm light that will pull guests like fireflies to it. One of our favorite lighting techniques to use is to mimic the effect of moonlight, and we strategically hide a few key fixtures higher up in the trees to generate this same look so that the light sparkles through the leaves in an enchanting fairytale manner. We can set any mood you want and bathe your yard in gorgeous lighting that will truly wow you, and your guests.
