Outdoor lighting designer Michael Gotowala feels so passionate about outdoor lighting design that he enables the homeowner to see and feel firsthand as he directs his crew to setting up a realtime night lighting demo. This strategy has proved successful as Michael has been noted nationally with outdoor lighting awards given out from AOLP Association of Outdoor Lighting Professionals but more importantly superseded hundreds of clients by illumination surrounding their own homes. That’s the most gratifying night time accomplishment is at our client’s first look at their homes and landscapes under full illumination. Being in the nursery and horticultural industry for over thirty years it brings much success and gratification to understand the landscape at each and every phase of every season day and night. Being licensed on the electrical end is technical for sure but its the art of the landscape and how it illuminates with the hardscape and Architecture of the home that really gets the job done. As you will see here below our staff spares no expense in getting the lighting fixtures strategically placed in the field to yield the best results. And finally being an amateur night time photographer allows me to not only send pics to the anxiously awaiting homeowner to share the excitement with their family and friends. The photos allow me to perfect our finish pointing of each fixture at night and then in the morning explain to staff the importance of what I envisioned the night before. A routine cycle of landscape lighting diligence and passion that makes the project look as best as it could be.

As we follow through this outdoor lighting design Michael had made successful plant additions creating focals into which to illuminate in the landscape. Drilled into railings the house railings all across the front to hang lites, even lifted the bluestone courtyard to reach pillars at the front entrance. Finally climbing up tree and pointing tree lights in cross lighting strategy at areas high up on house completed Michael’s vision.
The outdoor lighting designer has the responsibility to envision the house, architecture, hardscapes, and landscapes as appeared lit at night and to use everything possible to portray this to homeowner as it is very unusual the homeowner realizes the possibilities of night lighting.
