Project Background

After a severe hailstorm damaged the client’s outdoor lighting system, they reached out to us for a complete restoration. Their existing fixtures were broken, and the wiring had been compromised, leaving their landscape without proper illumination. In addition to replacing the damaged system, the client wanted to enhance their backyard experience by installing a permanent outdoor lighting system for their back patio, where they frequently entertain family and guests.

To further improve the overall aesthetic of their outdoor space, we also replaced the old, compacted mulch with fresh cedar mulch, giving the landscape a polished and refreshed look.

Objectives

LIGHTING RESTORATION:
Restore full functionality to the property’s outdoor lighting system by replacing all damaged fixtures and wiring with high-quality, durable components.

DURABILITY & WEATHER RESISTANCE:
Ensure the new lighting system can withstand future extreme weather conditions by using premium, weather-resistant fixtures and upgraded wiring.

ENHANCED BACK PATIO EXPERIENCE:
Install a permanent outdoor lighting system on the back patio to create a warm and inviting ambiance for evening gatherings and entertaining.

CURB APPEAL REFRESH:
Remove old, compacted mulch and replace it with fresh cedar mulch to enhance the overall look of the property and improve soil health.

Challenges

  • EXTENSIVE STORM DAMAGE: The hailstorm had destroyed most of the outdoor lighting fixtures and compromised the wiring, requiring a full system overhaul.
  • DURABILITY CONCERNS: The previous system lacked weather-resistant components, making it vulnerable to future storms.
  • CUSTOM PATIO LIGHTING NEEDS: The client wanted a permanent lighting solution that would enhance the functionality and atmosphere of their back patio.
  • AGING LANDSCAPE APPEARANCE: The old mulch had become compacted and faded, detracting from the overall curb appeal of the property.

Solution

FULL SYSTEM REPLACEMENT:
We removed all damaged fixtures and wiring, replacing them with a new, upgraded lighting system designed for longevity and resilience. The fixtures selected were high-quality, weather-resistant models built to withstand harsh weather conditions.

PREMIUM FIXTURES & WIRING:
To prevent future storm-related damage, we installed durable, premium-grade fixtures and upgraded the wiring to ensure long-lasting performance. The new system provides consistent illumination with improved energy efficiency.

CUSTOM BACK PATIO LIGHTING INSTALLATION:
Understanding the client’s desire for a welcoming and functional outdoor space, we designed and installed a permanent lighting system on their back patio. The setup enhances the ambiance for evening gatherings, creating a cozy and inviting atmosphere for entertaining.

CEDAR MULCH REFRESH:
To revitalize the landscape, we removed the old, compacted mulch and replaced it with fresh cedar mulch. This not only enhanced the property’s curb appeal but also helped retain soil moisture and suppress weed growth, contributing to a healthier garden environment.

Results

RESTORED OUTDOOR LIGHTING SYSTEM:
The property’s landscape lighting was fully restored with premium, weather-resistant fixtures and improved wiring, ensuring long-term performance and protection against future storms.

ENHANCED BACK PATIO EXPERIENCE:
The new permanent lighting system transformed the patio into a warm and inviting space, allowing the client to enjoy evenings outdoors with family and guests.

DURABILITY & LONGEVITY:
By selecting high-quality materials designed to withstand harsh weather, we provided the client with a lighting solution that minimizes future maintenance and maximizes reliability.

IMPROVED CURB APPEAL:
With the addition of fresh cedar mulch, the client’s landscape now looks vibrant and well-maintained, making a strong visual impact while also benefiting plant health.
