Outdoor living is a big part of life in San Antonio so creating the ultimate outdoor space can be enjoyed all year long.  Create a space that is perfect for a family tournament of lawn games or a small gathering of friends for a bbq.

The experts are assuring us that pandemic life is safer outdoors. “I think outdoors is so much better than indoors in almost all cases,” said Linsey Marr, an engineering professor and aerosol scientist at Virginia Tech. “There’s so much dilution that happens outdoors. As long as you’re staying at least six feet apart, I think the risk is very low.”

What are the essentials to creating an outdoor living space?    With the San Antonio sun beating down on you during the summer, you can’t go wrong with a covered space.  The space can be used as a casual sitting area or a dining area.  Do you do a lot of grilling?  Creating an outdoor kitchen makes grilling so much easier!

Whatever your dream outdoor space for your backyard is, we promise you it will be better with the right outdoor lighting. You want to use your space to enjoy relaxing outside well into the evening and you can do that with the right lighting.  If you would like to discuss how best to design the lighting in your outdoor living space, give us a call today – 210-710-7737.

Still not sure?  Here is a testimonial from one of our clients on how lighting made all the difference in his backyard!  “Our pool and surrounding areas was awesome during the day…and a dark abyss by night. The LLG team designered an awesome lighting plan and executed the install to perfection. The crew was timely, did great work, was very cordial, and we could not have been more pleased. We even had them re-do the lighting at our home entrance as well. Would highly recommend to all” ~Brent Poss
