The Ultimate Texas Irony

As the cooler weather moves in this fall, it is finally nice enough outside to enjoy a drink on the patio or dine al fresco. However, the ultimate irony is that when it is finally not blazing hot in San Antonio, it gets dark earlier and earlier with each passing day. We will lose over 4 hours of daylight between June and December resulting in evenings getting dark as early as 5:30! While we don’t set the clocks back till November 1st, we are already feeling the loss of daylight in the evening.

So how do Texans overcome this great irony to enjoy the cool evenings in their backyard? The answer is as simple as Landscape Lighting! This is the busy time for the Guru as people realize they aren’t ready to go inside just because it is dark out – they want to stay out and relax and play. Landscape Lighting Guru can design lighting for your outdoor living space that is right for your family and fits into your budget. Give us a call or email us for your free consultation appointment and proposal.

You can beat the ultimate Texas irony with some lighting so you can take advantage of the cooler weather.

Already have outdoor lighting for your space? The fall is the time to do maintenance on your system to keep it in tip-top shape.

The Guru highly recommends annual maintenance on your lighting system to give your outdoor lights the longest life possible. During an annual maintenance appointment, our lighting technicians will walk your property and test the system for broken equipment, burned out lights, and damage. During the service, we will inspect every fixture, transformer, wire, and timer to make sure they are working properly. This is especially important if you have tree mounted light fixtures so we can back off the fixture and equipment to account for tree growth. Without an annual checkup, the fixtures can become embedded into the tree, causing a greater risk of pest infiltration, bark rot, electrical shorts, and possible fire.
