If the only tree you think about lighting is your Christmas tree, you’re missing out.
Central Florida trees are cool, from the exotic diamond-cut trunk of the Sylvester Date Palm to the wide-spreading branches of the pretty magnolia.
Why not show them off at night? The results can be tree-mendous. (Sorry. Had to.)
When you think about crews installing an irrigation system in your lawn, it’s normal to be a little nervous.
Will there be bulldozers? Fifty guys with big shovels? A herd of furiously digging worker moles?
You have some questions.
Will installing an irrigation system damage my lawn? How will my lawn look after a sprinkler system is installed?

Outdoor lighting works pretty hard.
It makes you feel safe when you walk around outside at night, offers a cheerful greeting when you pull in the driveway, sets the mood when you entertain friends outside after sundown, and highlights your home’s most impressive features after dark.

So how much does all this life-changing light cost?
Once your new sod is installed, it’s easy to panic if things don’t seem quite right.
