Let’s tackle the obvious question first: “Do I need landscape lighting?”

You absolutely do. (Even if you’re not afraid of the dark.) 

Consider these reasons: 

• Front yard landscape lighting makes your house look beautiful and high-end after dark.
• Patio and walkway landscape lighting keeps your family and visitors safe.
• Deck landscape lighting prevents you from falling face first into your parmesan crab dip during your late night star-gazing snack session.

More landscape lighting questions? Let’s get to them.

Pondering pavers? 

A new patio, maybe, or a sleek new driveway? Time to finally update that cracked and sunken concrete walkway to your front door?

You probably have some questions.

Eric Frisch, Ground Source landscape designer, has the answers.

You live in sunny, Central Florida – you know what that means, right? Your outdoor space isn’t just something you look at; it’s something you live in all year long. With long sunny days, balmy evenings, and plenty of backyard gatherings, your outdoor space could be the most enjoyable and luxurious spot in your home.

What's missing? The right lighting. Landscape lighting can completely transform your home.

But when it comes to landscape lighting, the question that usually comes up is: should you tackle it yourself or hire a professional?

Read anything fascinating about yard drainage lately?

What? You don’t think yard drains are fascinating? Hmm, maybe it’s just us.

But if you live in a newer Orlando neighborhood, chances are you need some kind of yard drainage.

Drainage here in Orlando is a continuing problem as the city grows. All the dry areas have already been developed, so nearly all the houses in new neighborhoods have drainage problems. The already-wet ground can’t absorb extra water.

New homes also often have poor soil, so water doesn’t seep in as well as it should.

What kind of yard drain is best for your house?

New pavers! This is exciting!

Driveway? New walkways? That dream patio you’ve always wanted? Curves, or rectangle? 

Have you picked out new patio furniture yet?

We’re asking a lot of questions. We love this stuff.

You should be asking some, too.
