Landscape Lighting Cincinnati:
The Customer Benefits from Winter Installs

We’re surprised that winter installations aren’t more popular for landscape lighting in Cincinnati. Here’s why it’s the best season:

1. Because installing landscape lighting in Cincinnati is one of the few projects an outdoor contractor can take on in the winter, usually you’ll get the best price available.
2. Also, you’ll typically be able to get a faster installation in the winter. Crews have more availability when they aren’t working on irrigation systems, landscaping, etc.
3. Winter installation is better for the health of your landscaping. Perennials are dormant, and your annual beds are empty. We do have to dig a bit during installs. We’re careful no matter what season it is, but the risk for damage is much lower in winter. When spring comes, a fresh coat of mulch will cover any evidence of installation.

Here are five more reasons to install landscape lighting in winter.

Reveal the Hidden Architecture of Bare Trees

Bare trees are beautiful. But it can be hard to appreciate them when we usually value trees for their foliage. Light them up to reveal intricate shadows and sculptural branches.

Create Textures that Welcome You Home

Instead of arriving at a dark home, show off your home’s best features. You’ll cheer up as soon as you pull in the driveway.

Make the Snow Glow

One way to enjoy snow is to illuminate it. It’s magical! Maybe it will help you cope as the winter lingers.

Snow Performance

In a given winter, Cincinnati sees a fair amount of snow.

So it makes sense that we sometimes we get the question, Does LED landscape lighting melt snow? The short answer: yes. From our article “LED Landscape Lighting in the Snow:”

“Fortunately, LED landscape lighting does produce just enough heat to melt snow away from the fixture and keep your landscape lighting effects in good working order. It make take an hour or two for the snow to melt, compared to almost instantaneously with incandescent bulbs.”
