The weather doesn’t always cooperate, but when it does, you want to make the most of your outdoor space. Odds are you’ve been thinking about how to enhance your summer outdoor time at home.
Whether you’re looking to put in a pool, relax in your very own spa, tastefully accent your garden or make your patio the social center of the neighborhood, it’s worth the effort to power up your outdoor space and do it right. But the options are endless, so a little time spent with your Electrician and your Landscape Designer is a good way to get the project started.
A pool or spa can transform your outdoor space into a vacation-like destination. Floating about in the pool on a hot summer day while the kids splash and play brings a slice of paradise to your backyard. Not enough room for a good size swimming pool? A lap pool or swim spa, where current flows against you for water exercises or hydrotherapy is an often-overlooked space saving option.
Along with pools and spas come filters, cleaners, and heaters, and those devices need electrical power. Keating Electric can help identify what kind of electrical power you have available and the potential demands for the various pool and spa options, so together you can make the best decision for your space and budget.
Having a nice outdoor space where you can entertain friends and family or enjoy a meal with loved ones under a beautiful night sky, effectively expands your living space beyond the walls of your home, and a properly equipped patio can have the feel of the most comfortable and inviting living room.
In addition to patio furniture, plants and umbrellas, patio lighting upgrades the mood while also extending your evenings outside. Post lighting and sconces can provide as much or as little light as the occasion demands, while landscape lighting can accent the beauty of your patio while contributing to a warm and comfortable ambience. A few discreetly placed exterior power outlets, and you may never want to go inside again!
Underground low voltage wiring for the landscape lights can be run safely out of sight, along with underground power for receptacles and post lights to make a clean and safe environment so all you have to do is sit back and relax. Some outdoor speakers, also installed with discreet underground wiring, can be the icing on the cake.
Whether you prefer flowers, ornamental ground cover, herbs or veggies, your garden is the place you go to wind down, enjoy some sunshine, and reconnect with the earth. What you may not have realized is the potential for amplifying your garden’s beauty through tasteful landscape lighting. A few well-placed accent lights can change your garden from great to incredible, and there are even lights disguised as natural objects to keep your garden looking as elegant and green as nature intended.
