Revive, Don’t Replace: Breathe New Life in Landscape Lighting
Try, Try Again: Don’t Give Up on Great Landscape Lighting, Revive it!
You’ve probably heard the saying, “If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again.” It’s good advice for many things in life—and landscape lighting is no exception!
Maybe you bought bistro lights for your patio, but they’re not hanging quite the way you envisioned. Or perhaps your landscaper added lighting to your garden beds, but it’s not creating the dramatic effect you had hoped for. Or maybe you invested in a top-of-the-line system ten years ago, but now half the fixtures don’t work, and the other half just don’t shine like they used to.
At Landscape Lighting Guru, we frequently work with homeowners who already have a lighting system in place but want to improve it. Sometimes they’ve installed it themselves, or another contractor handled the job. While it’s often tempting to scrap everything and start over, we don’t believe in taking the easy way out.
Instead, we begin with a full evaluation of your current system. We assess which fixtures are still functional, which can be repaired, and what changes could better highlight your home’s features. Our goal is to make the most of your existing setup—updating and upgrading it to function like new, without unnecessary replacement. We will try and revive your existing system!
Whenever possible, we reuse what you already have and revive it to look brand new. You’d be surprised how a high-quality fixture can be brought back to life with a simple LED lamp upgrade and a little TLC. Even those sagging bistro lights can be re-hung to create the polished, inviting look you originally wanted.
That said, not all lighting systems are created equal. DIY kits from big-box stores often don’t stand the test of time, and many of those components are difficult to salvage. But don’t worry—if parts of your system need to be replaced, we’ll provide clear recommendations and a customized proposal to guide your next steps.
So if you’ve tried to create beautiful outdoor lighting but haven’t quite nailed it yet—don’t give up. Try, try again. Call Landscape Lighting Guru at 210-710-7737 for a free evaluation and proposal. We’ll help you get it right this time.
