Illuminate Your Property With Landscape Lighting

If you like spending time outside during the spring and summer, think about how beautiful it would look if your yard was lit up at night. Landscape lighting is one of the most dramatic improvements that you can make to a home or garden, regardless of size, shape or elevation. When it comes your custom landscape lighting needs, we’ll bring your ideas to life!


Why Install Landscape Lighting?

Ambiance and Entertainment:  Create the perfect atmosphere for outdoor entertaining with landscape lighting.  Illuminate pools, decks, outdoor kitchens, patios, recreational spaces and sitting areas long after the sun sets. Landscape lighting sets the tone for any occasion and gives your guests an experience they will not forget.

Beauty: Accentuate the architecture of your home while showcasing its artistry and charm.  Allow your guests to experience the beauty of your fountains, flowers, trees and shrubs at any time of day.  We will construct dramatic scenes that reveal the subtle contours, shapes and textures of your property.

Security: Lighting your home is an effective way to deter residential crime and keep out unwanted intruders. Although lighting cannot prevent crime, statistics show that a well lit home is much more likely to deter potential criminals.

Floodlights: Motion tripped floodlights are a great way to protect your home and save energy at the same time. Your floodlights only turn on when you need them instead of running all night long.  

Safety: Avoid any accidents with a well-lit yard or garden. Landscape lighting accents pathways, stairs or any other potentially hazardous areas within your yard, helping you to navigate safely around your property, while enjoying its beauty at the same time.

At Mr. Electric of Tampa Bay, landscape lighting design and installation are just a few of our specialties. Ready to make your property shine? Contact us today at (813) 280-4998.
