We are thrilled to have been a part of this stunning pool house project designed by architects Steve Vanze and Melanie Giordano of BarnesVanze Architects and constructed by Abe Sari of Alliance Builders. 

Our team at Outdoor Illumination designed and installed the outdoor lighting that accentuates the architectural beauty and enhances the outdoor living spaces. The lighting echoes the Mediterranean-inspired architecture and allows the owners to enjoy this magical space into the night.


This project is a testament to the power of collaboration between industry experts, and we are grateful to have played a role in bringing this vision to life.

irrigation optimization

As we head into fall, preparing your irrigation system for essential lawn care tasks like aeration and overseeding is important. Daily watering for about two weeks after overseeding helps establish strong roots. Tools like the HydraWise controller can ensure your irrigation system is set to meet these needs for a healthy, vibrant lawn.

HydraWise is an intuitive, easy-to-use water management solution that saves water and protects your landscape. This smart sprinkler system optimizes watering by adjusting schedules, monitoring irrigation systems, and achieving up to 50% water savings through Predictive Watering® adjustments.


Let us take the guesswork out of watering this fall. Our team has you covered by managing your irrigation system remotely and setting the perfect watering schedule tailored to your landscape. Whether your controller is Wi-Fi enabled or not, we ensure your lawn receives the right amount of water exactly when needed.


Planning overseeding? We can even adjust and delay winterization to match your schedule.

At Outdoor Illumination, we first learned about Community Forklift years ago from Sandy Clinton, now retired partner of Clinton Ries Landscape Architects. Community Forklift is a local nonprofit dedicated to reducing waste by collecting and redistributing new and gently used building materials, making home repairs more affordable and reducing landfill waste.


Their mission aligns with our commitment to sustainability and the environment, and we’re proud to support their efforts in fostering greener communities..
