Starting from scratch. Bought a forclosure one year ago with poorly maintained/designed landscaping. Would like boulders and shade trees, possibly a dry creek. Yard is smallish/medium in size. Built on a small hill, may need a retaining wall?

Landscape lighting doesn't merely highlight the beauty of your garden in the late evening, but also allow you to enjoy your garden even after the sun goes down. With a beautifully illuminated garden, you can go ahead and entertain friends after hours. Landscape lighting also adds to the security of your home. Research has shown that burglaries and break-ins are just as likely in homes which have well lit yards and gardens.
Designing an outdoor lighting plan involves more than just buying decorative outdoor lighting fixtures, and installing them at various points in your garden. For one, your lighting fixtures have to be durable enough to last through all kinds of climate conditions, including rain, high wind, snow fall and harsh sunlight. Beautiful and expensive fixtures that only last one season can mean significant investment in maintaining your landscape lighting. It's always best to leave these decisions to professionals who know what it takes to create a well lit garden. Generally, designers prefer to use low voltage outdoor lighting that not only gives your garden a soft and gentle glow at night, but at the same time is also bright enough for people in the house to be able to see what's going on in the garden. Your outdoor landscape lighting should also be wired to allow for flexibility. If you wish to change the position of your fixtures in the future, you should be able to do so without having to rewire your garden.
