For everyone on Long Island winter is almost over. That means that we will soon be trading in the sounds of a snowblower for the sounds of a lawnmower. OK, maybe not since it has been a warmer winter than usual but you get what we’re saying. The days are getting longer and the weather will be getting warmer. Another winter is nearly over and most people are rejoicing at that thought. At this point some people will be considering having an outdoor lighting system installed but they still have reservations with how it will affect their lawn care. It doesn’t have to be that way.
You Care About Your Property
You hopefully have a lawn that you are proud of but you don’t want to mess it up with lighting fixtures. You might know where the fixtures are but the person cutting the grass might not, which would defeat the purpose for the whole system. At the same time you want to spend time in your yard, enjoying your well manicured lawn on a warm summer night.
That is why you should let a professional service like Resort Lighting design and install your system.
Why You Should Let A Pro Install Your System
A professional service will know where the best place to install lighting fixtures are. It is possible that the lights may not even interfere with your lawn care. At the same time there will be no exposed wiring as a professional service will bury the lines so there will be no chance of a lawnmower mowing over them. That will necessitate digging up part of the lawn (sorry, there’s no real way around this) to bury the lines but we try to do this with as little invasiveness as possible while doing it in the best possible place so no wiring will become exposed over time.
At the same time if a lighting fixture needs to be installed in the lawn a professional service will know the best kind of fixture to install. These fixtures will need to be visible so no one runs a lawnmower over them. At the same time, if you use a lawn maintenance service, make sure that they know about the new fixtures too. Don’t leave that to chance, make sure that they know where every new fixture is.
The Pros Know What Lights Work Best
It is also possible to install lights flush with the ground. Those kinds of lights will not be damaged by a lawnmower as they will sit flush with the ground and below the mower blades. Many path lights will not be an issue as they will be on the perimeter of a lawn, garden or path so they may not even be on the lawn. For lights that are raised from the ground it will require trimming around them. Chances are you already have a string trimmer and if you use a maintenance service they do have a trimmer so this will not be an issue and it will only add a few moments to your job.
In the end, as long as whoever is cutting the grass knows where the fixtures are a landscape lighting system will not be an issue and chances are it will add only a few minutes to the time spent cutting the grass. For anyone who wants to have an outdoor lighting system installed, this should not be a deterrent. A professionally installed system, like one from Resort Lighting, will make most of the obstacles non-existent and will know the proper fixtures to install around a property.
You care about your lawn so you should spend as much time enjoying it as possible. Why not have a landscape lighting system installed that will let you do just that?
