Nashville Outdoor Lighting For Nashville Outdoor Living

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.

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.

By illuminating your pathways, you’ll keep your friends and family safe from any trips or falls and keep the evening’s festivities flowing.

Turn Your Backyard into a Staycation Paradise Well into the Evening with Outdoor Lighting

Backyard-pergola-lightingWhen properly designed and installed, your very own backyard can have such an incredible spa-like feel that it may make you feel like skipping the expensive vacation spot altogether. Your own outdoor retreat can feel like a pricey resort right at home without the hassle of passports, airports or long drives with screaming kids. The oasis can come to you and provide relaxation and entertainment well into the evening hours without the fuss and annoyances.

There are lots of inexpensive garden ideas that can help add that island staycation vibe. You can drape a hammock across two trees, or anchor it from your pergola for lazing around with an icy margarita or put in a fire pit to roast marshmallows for starters. We’re more than happy to work with you or your landscape architect to bring the staycation feel you are seeking to your outdoor living spaces with a custom outdoor lighting design and turn-key lighting program.  And with the heat and humidity in Nashville this summer, it’s a no-brainer to wait until the evening hours when things are cooler to enjoy some time outdoors.

You can stay outdoors later instead of having to go inside because the sun has gone down and you can’t see or have inappropriate flood type lighting that is severe and doesn’t get the job done. Let us illuminate your yard in a gorgeous way that makes it easy to get around your property and highlights the great features in a wonderfully dreamy and elegant way.

If a tropical feel is what you are after, then we can mimic a lighting mood that will send your senses back to island time. Overhead festival type lighting can set a party mood over your patio or deck that can make your outdoor feel like your favorite resort.

Why quit using the pool simply because it’s dark outside? We can light your pool perimeter so you can keep the party rolling well into the evening. In fact, we can add lighting to any water feature so that the unwinding sound of a waterfall or trickling water coupled with the night-time visual can have a totally mesmerizing and tranquil twilight effect. We can even light up a koi pond so that the fish can be viewed well after the nightfall.

The addition of lighting around a deck or patio gives you a place to dine and have conversation late into the night if you like. We can improve task lighting at your outdoor kitchen or barbecue so that you can cook and serve food no matter what the hour, and without having a harsh or loud glare either. We can also add some sparkle to a gazebo or pergola so that it becomes a romantic getaway spot to share with your greatest love.

If the grandkids are over, why not give them a spot to play in the evening? We can light up a horseshoe pit or even a bocce or basketball court for hours of extended night-time play. And for a real conversation centerpiece, we’ve had customers ask us to light up their beyond life-size lawn chess sets so that fierce matches can be played al fresco well past daylight hours. Neat!

When Building an Outdoor Structure Call Your Lighting Specialist First

Deck post lighting sconce

At Outdoor Lighting Perspectives of Nashville we can’t emphasize how important it is to call in your lighting company before you build your outdoor structure. Most of the time your wish is  to make  sure your wiring is  hidden instead of exposed. Once construction on your structure is completed it is very difficult to hide the wiring. If your lighting company is informed ahead of time , they can make certain that everything is neatly hidden from the naked eye, and still ensure the integrity and safety of the lights themselves.

When our customers let us know before they begin construction on their outdoor structure we can customize their lighting on a whole different level, that’s why it is important to not wait until the structure is completed. For example with a new deck, we can make sure conduit is run throughout the entire decking system and have it pre-wired to accommodate your chosen fixtures. This approach ensures that no additional drilling is necessary, and you get a more secure fitting fixture in the process.

Our half-moon wall sconce light for decks shown here in copper

When we talk about deck lighting there are a wide variety of fixtures that we really like to use. All of our fixtures are high quality and come in your choice of copper, nickel or antique brass. One of which is the half-moon deck light. The product description in our catalog for the half-moon light says it all…” This understated but powerful light casts the industry’s widest indirect wash from its perch upon deck posts and retaining walls. The half-moon sconce creates rich ambient light, and the beautiful copper finish weathers the element with grace”.  Our fixtures can also be powder coated, dipped and oxidized. Oxidation will turn them a rich deep bronze,which by far is our most popular finish in deck lighting.We also carry step lights which are installed in the riser. We carry one with a Louvered  face plate and also a scoop face plate.

If a deck is in your future, remember to call your lighting specialist before you begin so they can work with your builder. If you are looking for a lighting specialist, give Outdoor Lighting Perspectives of Nashville a call to discuss your lighting needs.John Groce Outdoor Lighting Perspectives Nashville (615) 373 – 0638
