Wish You Had More Shade?

If you’ve lived through a summer in “Hotlanta,” you know the value of a shady spot. Outdoor activities in Georgia are commonly threatened by the blazing sun and suffocating heat. When it comes to your personal backyard, do the hot summer months or blinding sunlight keep you from using your outdoor space during the day? You need shade!

Many homeowners wish they had more shade but assume large trees are the only aesthetically pleasing way to create these areas of relief. Large trees that provide shade can take years to grow. Fortunately, there is a still a solution.

At Garden Lights Landscaping, we invite you to consider adding a shade structure to your landscape. Don’t worry; these are not structures that become an eyesore to your landscape beauty at the mere cost of letting you cool off. Instead, we can create and install a custom shade structure that blends in with your landscape design or compliments your personal style.
