Doing some level 11 wire hiding along with our landscape lighting. Doing Some Wire Hiding I wanted to show you guys how we hide the wires for our landscape lighting. Obviously you don't want to see wires running all over the outside of your home when you get lighting installed, we've picked up a couple tricks so you won't even notice the wiring. Our Operations Manager Justin shows how we do it in this video.   https://barefootlighting.com/doing-some-wire-hiding/

Talking uplights, grass, mulch, and rock beds. Captain Matt Working on His Own Landscape Lighting. Working on my own landscaping project this past Sunday, I'm putting some Creator up-lights on my home. With the up-lights that stick out of the ground like this you would probably want to add some sort of perimeter, wether it be gravel or mulch, around your house so the lights don't get in the way of your lawn care. I'm probably going to add on to the gravel we already have at the front of the house and put it around the whole house. We do offer up lights that go into the ground so you don't have to worry about that or if you don't want to see any fixtures. https://barefootlighting.com/?p=1124

Check out our wiring... if you can! When The Team Gets Excited About Making Things Look Impeccable. Got this video from our ops manager Justin. He got really excited about the wire placement on the roof, and the fact that they're basically invisible. https://barefootlighting.com/when-the-team-gets-excited-about-making-things-look-impeccable/

Another angle of the design project I'm working on. My Landscape Design Project We have a pretty small backyard because of an old fence that was put up, I don't know why it was ever put up, but we're going to be taking it down and expanding our backyard. The yard behind the fence is over grown so we're going to be cutting a lot of it down and planting and landscaping with intention so we can actually enjoy this space back here. https://barefootlighting.com/?p=1118

There is a difference between "we will do lighting" and "we DO lighting." Hotel lighting in Saratoga.  Wanted to show you guys a close up of these fixtures, I'm at the same hotel as before. These fixtures don't look pretty, and they're so far up from the ground it looks like whoever did them didn't even try to hide them. Wanted to show you guys what landscape lighting looks like when theres no plan and no intention behind it.   https://barefootlighting.com/?p=1111

An example of when someone isn't intentional with landscape lighting. Saratoga Hotel's Landscape Lighting Driving by this hotel when I noticed their landscape lighting. The lights on this tree just look like a couple of flood lights, and of course the glare is so bright and in your face. Just wanted to show you guys an example of landscape lighting that has no intention behind it. https://barefootlighting.com/saratoga-hotels-landscape-lighting/

Doing some landscaping! My landscape design project before it all begins. Hey guys Captain Matt here, just wanted to make a first video here of the back of a landscaping project. So we had a whole crap ton of trees taken down, this was all overgrowth. So about half of it's done, still have all that to go, I got the landscape designer working on things. It's a crazy time as you guys all know in terms of time frames and things, but allegedly the fence I'm doing is a chain-link fence in the back, and then we're going to use plants for the actual privacy instead of doing a wood fence, it's just a waste of money if we're going to use plants for it. We're gonna have a nice island of flowers and stuff that we can walk through at some point, we'll have a water feature as well, this fence here is overgrown, that piece has fallen down so we’ll have that all fixed up, get the rest of the trees taken down. Just wanted to kind of share this with you before it starts

Moonlighting vs. uplighting on a tree. A pyramid of cans in the pale moonlight. Moon lighting with Captain Matt Captain Matt shows the difference between a tree with moon lighting and a tree with uplighting. You can see how the different types of lighting effect how the tree itself looks. https://barefootlighting.com/?p=1099
