What is the process of creating a landscape lighting design?<\/h2>\n
So, you\u2019re thinking about having a professional outdoor lighting system designed for your beautiful home, but you don\u2019t know what to expect. Let\u2019s go through the steps that we (or maybe even another outdoor lighting design firm) may go through in order to make your outdoor space look fantastic at night. The landscape lighting design process goes something like this.<\/p>\n
After the first contact by phone or email, there is the initial face-to-face on-site consultation which may last about an hour. This is the time when the client and designer get to know each other. As a client, you will be asked questions about your lifestyle and use of your outdoor space.<\/p>\n
\n
What activities do you enjoy outside in the evenings? Do you like to entertain outdoors?<\/li>\n
Where do you spend the most time when you are outdoors? Outdoor kitchen? Patio or pool area?<\/li>\n
How do you want to feel when you are outside? Romantic? Safe? Relaxed or party-ready? All of the above?<\/li>\n
What is your favorite feature of the house? Back yard?<\/li>\n
Do you have a favorite area, plant, tree or piece of art in your landscape?<\/li>\n
What is the view from inside your home?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
The answers will help us to determine the primary viewing angles so we know where to place light fixtures to give you the best effect. Your feelings and favorites will help us to define the primary focal points.<\/p>\n
