Since the COVID-19 pandemic started, we’ve all been spending a lot more time at home with our families. We work hard to tastefully decorate our homes and to keep them cleaned and maintained, and owe it to ourselves to make our homes safer, and more comfortable inside and out. We might not be able to go out as much as we’re used to, but our backyards are still always there for us to enjoy!

Our team at Gary Houston Electric has been one of the most trusted electrical contractors in central Arkansas for over four decades, and are always a phone call away when you need quality electrical services at far prices. We are a full service company, and can help you with electrical emergencies, emergency generators, and routine electrical system maintenance. We also offer quality residential and commercial lighting services for both new construction and renovation projects. Contact us any time that you have questions about any of the following lighting options:

Security Lighting-Alarm systems have always been a great way to ensure the peace of mind that comes from knowing that you and your family will be protected. It’s also a great idea to keep your yard well-lit to discourage would-be criminals from targeting your home. Fixed and sensor floodlights are inexpensive, and effective.

Patio Lighting-No family wants to spend all their time cooped up inside in front of the television, and a great deck or patio can provide a nice escape. We will work with you to select a great lighting package, and you can look forward to fun outdoor activities day and night!

Garden Lighting-A well-tended garden is a great way to make a yard more inviting. Whether it’s flowers, vegetables, or shrubbery, you want to look at it and tend to it on your own schedule. It’s also well-documented that gardens show pride in ownership, which is great for property values and an effective crime deterrent.

If you have any questions, or would like to schedule a consultation, contact us online or give us a call at 501-375-8330.
