Lighting is a key component to creating an inviting space into the evenings and four months a year.
A deck is a great space to create a dining area or outdoor kitchen to enjoy a glass of wine and have dinner with friends. In these areas, landscape lighting not only provides functional lighting for food preparation but also creates a relaxing mood and atmosphere all in a subtle manner. Soft down lights highlighting the dinner table, soft lighting for safety under railings and steps, and a light on a separate switch on the BBQ to help ensure you get steak grilled perfectly; the possibilities are endless.
