Southern Lights Outdoor Lighting & Audio- Camden Falls LED Landscape Lighting Design and Installation in Greensboro, NC 27410

Southern Lights Outdoor Lighting & Audio- Camden Falls LED Landscape Lighting Design and Installation in Greensboro, NC 27410

PROJECT SUMMARY:  Southern Lights Outdoor Lighting & Audio spent a lot of time with these clients. We started with a master landscape plan that developed into a master lighting design as well. Our sister company Southern Exposure also spent a lot of time on this project working on the patio, seatwalls, and plantings.

Illuminating the homes architecture, backyard garden, patio, and specific trees brought this property to life and gave new meaning to be outdoors in the evenings.

During the design phase, Southern Lights provides the road map and detailed lighting designs for our clients, capturing beautiful settings at night, creating the most ideal landscape lighting effects.

LANDSCAPE LIGHTING FOCUS:  Like many  things there is a right and a wrong way of doing things. Lighting is no different. These clients weren’t as focused on the house as they were the landscape.  Usually the home is the backdrop that provides the structure and height to the lighting design. The lighting was to be subdued on the home and provide just enough light in the front of the home to be inviting, but not over done. The main attraction was the patio. The specific reason this project took shape was due to the clients really wanting to enjoy the patio and outdoor living space from the inside of the home. May sound a little different, but the concept is how we always approach a design. Find out what’s important to the client! Southern Lights found out that a lot of time is spent in the kitchen cooking and entertaining, and the main view from the kitchen window is their beautiful patio and plantings. Now that outdoor lighting has been added, they can enjoy the view 24/7… and what a view it is!

The backyard is where these clients really wanted to create a scene. Obviously, there were beautiful plantings, paver patios, stone walkways, and courtyard that needed professional landscape lighting. Adequate garden lighting was needed to guide guests from the driveway to the backyard into their backyard wonderland.

When talking with our clients, Southern Lights always tries to listen for what’s most important from our client’s perspective. In this case and in our company motto of (Safety. Security. SERENITY), All three of these focuses played an equal role in these lighting designs.

  • Safety lighting was needed to address the elevation changes throughout the property and along the long winding sidewalk and into the vegetable gardens.
  • Security lighting was needed to help illuminate a very dark back and side yard and keep intruders out.
  • SERENITY lighting is always needed to give the space and property a clean and natural design during evening hours. Tying the function with the beauty is always our goal.
  1. Functional Utility Lighting along driveway and sidewalks
  2. Elevation Changes at Steps
  3. Garden Lighting on Trees and Plantings
  4. Courtyard Seating

LANDSCAPE LIGHTING FIXTURES:  100% made in USA Clarolux Landscape Lighting Fixtures. Clarolux  AL11 “Verona” Area & Path Light and “Turin” – Copper: DL4-II.

LOCATION: This custom backyard garden lighting design and installation can be found in the Camden Falls neighborhood off Brassfield Rd, Greensboro, NC 27410.

LANDSCAPE LIGHTING DESIGN:  Ideal landscape lighting should evoke Safety. Security. SERENITY and should always start with a design. A custom built home, needs a custom landscape lighting design and installation. Southern Lights Outdoor Lighting & Audio offers a full range of design and maintenance services to accommodate different styles and budgets.

These clients realized early on that this property and landscape really needed the full attention of an expert landscape lighting designer. Allowing Southern Lights Outdoor Lighting & Audio the ability to be creative with the lighting design and to have some freedom of fixture selection and location, proved to be a great decision.

LANDSCAPE LIGHTING DESIGN TECHNIQUES & EFFECTS: 

  • 100% LED Lighting
  • Up Lighting
  • Path Lighting
  • Wash Lighting

HURDLES TO OVERCOME:  Designing an ideal landscape lighting system takes planning. Getting light to the right place takes some skill and time to coordinate installing wire to the desired fixture location. Sleeves or conduit were were placed under sidewalks and patio to allow easy access for wire now and in the future. Fortunately on this project there were no major hurdles or issues arose.

Highlighting the upper elevations of the home required an experienced outdoor lighting technician to install a few gutter mounted fixtures. Many times to provide consistent and even lighting designs on architecture, additional fixtures are needed to offset shadows that can be only be mounted from a soffit or gutter. This takes experience and a willingness the make sure the design is correct, even if it becomes a more difficult installation.

Keeping the plant material properly pruned will be an ongoing maintenance need for these clients to keep the lighting design in tact for years to come and to reduce unnatural shadows on the architecture. This client ultimately trusted Southern Lights with the lighting designs allowing us to provide them with the most ideal landscape lighting effect with the best lighting fixtures for the space and structures. We think it turned out pretty awesome!

I called Southern Lights for a repair on our existing outdoor landscape lighting. We also wanted to update our control timer while our unit was being serviced. Pete called me right back and set up a time for later that day. He arrived when promised and promptly addressed our issues. He quickly diagnosed our problem and repaired it immediately. He recommended an awesome timer that can be controlled using my smart phone. He had one on his truck and installed it while there. Bore leaving, he took his time setting it up on my phone and showing me all the features and programming options. From start to finish, I was highly impressed with his professionalism, knowledge, and willingness to thoroughly explain everything to me. We have lived in the Greensboro area for 3 years and I can honestly say this company was BY FAR the easiest and best we have dealt with.

I appreciate how everyone made it a point to communicate with me how and when the work was going to be done so that expectations match the final product. For me, having well written proposals and prompt documentation of change orders is comforting and helps assure that both parties are on the same page for the expectations of the final product and the payment. It was truly refreshing to work you. The management and crew took the time to understand my vision and helped to make it become a reality. The level of professionalism exhibited both in project management and in quality of work made for a happy customer and hopefully a proud installer.

We called Southern Lights after getting other estimates. The initial consultation answered our questions and some we didn't know we had! Our first impression was good, and the installation and service exceeded our expectations- quicker, neater, and more assuring. The outcome makes us happy every time we look outside, which is often:-)

We needed lighting on our drive and in the front of the house, but because of the structure we couldn't just use do-it-yourself solar lights. So we called Southern Lights, and they transformed our house into a showplace. Now not only is our driveway safe, but the house looks fabulous. We can't wait to have a party to show it off! Pete was a joy to work with, very responsive and quick, and he worked with us to reduce our costs. Can't recommend them highly enough!

So pleased with our experience with Southern Lights & Southern Exposure.The work crew was clean and careful to protect the yard they were working around. The stone work they did is amazing! Everyone we worked with was knowledgeable and professional from the outdoor furniture we chose to the stone work and landscaping around the firepit. The exterior lighting design was excellent. They had great ideas and even came out at night to make sure everything looked the way it should. We highly recommend for any outdoor project! - Irving Park, Greensboro, NC

Ron Booker

The crew there did an awesome job, from meeting with me to showing me all the various possibilities and creative ideas they had, to professionally and promptly installing the lighting system to being ultra-responsive to any maintenance issues that have arisen. They have even gone as far as to deliver replacement light bulbs to my door step! All the folks there do such a great job and truly show that they care about what they’re doing and really want to help you. Southern Lights is the kind of business that you can’t wait to work with. They have set the bar for other landscaping companies and in my opinion, maintain the “Disney” customer focus culture of the industry.

My experience with Southern Lights was by far the best I've ever had with a company doing work for me. Once I contacted them that I was interested in some landscape lighting Pete was really prompt on getting back to me. He showed up to my house and was very professional and really took his time explaining what I needed to make my house look great. Once I decided on a package Southern Lights was very quick in working my house in. Installation went really smooth and Pete came back that night and worked extremely late on making sure all the lighting made the house look beautiful! Company came highly recommended and lived up to every aspect of that claim.
