Landscape lighting systems never go into static landscapes. Plants grow and trees fill out, as the soil beneath them settles. Fixtures can cast light cleanly across a facade one day and then, a few seasons later, be half-hidden behind shrubs. Every light can turn on and work perfectly and still not do what it was meant to do.
This is why Outdoor Lighting Perspectives of Richmond & Charlottesville offers Shine 365 Annual Maintenance Plans. Homeowners should have a way to keep their outdoor lighting systems in working order even as the landscape changes around them.
And you do not need an OLP-installed system to ask us about maintenance. We service outdoor lighting systems installed by other companies and using other fixture brands as well.
Your Landscape Lighting Doesn't Maintain Itself
Good landscape lighting is designed to disappear into the property. You notice the illuminated tree, and not the fixture beneath it. This is by design. But the fixtures themselves live in the landscape, and small changes add up. A shrub can grow across the path of a beam. Freshly added mulch can bury the lower portion of a fixture. A light can tilt just enough that it illuminates the wrong branch, the wrong section of wall, or nothing particularly useful at all.
That doesn’t mean the system doesn’t work any more. It just means the relationship between the lighting and landscape has changed and a little outdoor lighting maintenance can set it right again.
From Overgrown to Outstanding: See the Difference Maintenance Makes
Sometimes the value of maintenance is easier to see than to explain. Before maintenance, landscaping has grown over and around the fixtures. The lights might still turn on, but vegetation interferes with the intended effect and the equipment begins to disappear into the planting bed.
After maintenance, the fixtures are once again clear, clean, properly positioned, and able to direct light where it was meant to go. The difference is not necessarily a new lighting system. It is a maintained one.
What Is an Annual Outdoor Lighting Maintenance Plan?
Annual outdoor lighting maintenance plans work well because they’re proactive. You could wait until fixtures go dark or you could see that the system is regularly maintained over time.
The exact work depends on the system and what it needs. Outdoor lighting maintenance may include evaluating fixture condition and positioning, checking system performance, identifying vegetation or debris interfering with illumination, and addressing maintenance needs discovered during service.
But the basic idea doesn’t change. Take a look at the system from time to time and fix any problems as they’re found, before they become bigger problems.
We Service All Outdoor Lighting Systems
Homeowners sometimes assume that an outdoor lighting system must be maintained by the company that originally installed it. That is not the case with Outdoor Lighting Perspectives of Richmond & Charlottesville.
We service outdoor lighting systems regardless of who installed them. Homeowners with OLP fixtures can ask about a Shine 365 Annual Maintenance Plan, and so can homeowners whose systems were installed by another outdoor lighting company or use another fixture brand.
Maintenance for OLP and Other Lighting Systems
No two outdoor lighting systems age in exactly the same way. Outdoor lighting systems vary in age, design, fixture type, and installer. This is why Shine 365 is not limited to systems that started with Outdoor Lighting Perspectives.
You might have inherited the lighting system with the house. The original installer may no longer be around. That shouldn’t be your problem. That’s why we’re here to simply provide professional help keeping your existing system in good condition.
