North Florida Landscape Lighting Brings Custom Outdoor Illumination to St. Johns County Homes

St. Johns County has seen a surge of residential builds over the past decade, leading to an increasing number of new neighborhoods scattered throughout. As owners go through the design process, they can go through upgrades and alterations that take a simple floor plan and change it into a unique home for their family. Then the sun goes down, and that stone-covered front porch fades into darkness. North Florida Landscape Lighting provides personalized lighting by spotlighting the distinctive features of your home through creative designs while offering industry insight that you won’t find elsewhere.

Utilizing do-it-yourself lighting comes through solar options that, even on the brightest day, will fade as the night goes on, leaving your home unprotected from any security concerns. Corporate lighting companies have designs continually reused, leaving your investment feeling cheap as you blend in with other homes. Lighting with owner Shayne Rollen aligns more with a true artist in comparison, while alternatives feel more like paint-by-numbers. He talks candidly about the coloring, detailing, and lighting as a way to bring out the beauty you’ve already invested in.

The education behind lighting comes from generations of experience since Shayne was mentored by industry professional Jack Gentry. They share the same work ethic and, ironically, the same birthday. Shayne has expanded upon that expertise by starting his own company which is now seven years old. A locally owned small business is managed by your neighbors, which must be noticed. They genuinely care about the reputation they have with the masses but also with each individual family.

When asked about a favorite lighting job, Shayne discusses a homeowner who allowed him to design their home’s lighting creatively without much direction. He called upon his expertise to craft a design the owners might not have envisioned. Allowing his innovation and leadership throughout the design process let the house become the masterpiece it was meant to be. The originality may also come directly from the homeowners. They had the opportunity to help illuminate a lighthouse, specifically a mailbox designed to look like a lighthouse. Owners wanted it to light up a night just as an actual lighthouse would, and Shayne’s team made that dream into reality, allowing for a one-of-a-kind addition to their home.

Unlike the do-it-yourself lighting which comes with very few options, North Florida Landscape Lighting can personalize your design. The professional customizes not only the direction of illumination but also the style of the light. Above-ground options may work well for lighting taller landscape, while in-ground options are suitable for providing a safer walkway or to draw your eyes to lower installations. It’s been years since the team originally designed Shayne’s favorite project. He’s gone back several times for maintenance and made some changes. “As landscaping grows, things need to be changed or moved, reduced here and added there. There’s no ‘one light fits all.’”

The same is true for home’s exterior, like painting, because different lighting shades affect the home’s look. Unlike working with a company that is paid to install lighting then to have the job marked complete, working with Shayne at North Florida Landscape Lighting means having your own personal lighting team that you call whenever you’re in need. Whether it’s a Tuesday night or a holiday weekend, they know the importance of your home looking its best, which means you’ll never be stranded in the dark. The team understands urgency is essential to their high service standards.

What keeps people from adding this beauty to their homes? Shayne says it’s a misconception that professional lighting is only for extravagant houses and the price is expensive. In reality, lighting projects price range fits every budget. The increased cost of keeping your house lit each month is about the cost of buying a coffee, so your electricity bill isn’t going to surge either. As he highlights the projects his team has completed, the dedication to a small project is given as much attention as any mansion. His descriptions and remembrance of all his clients, no matter the size of the project, are equally important; Shayne and his company clearly care for their community.

A large portion of home design feels industry-centric versus prioritizing the customer. While customization is possible, it is not open-ended. North Florida Landscape Lighting allows the customization to match your vision. Plus, you’ll enjoy the added security, increased home value, and a more significant visual presence when you enable the professionals to keep the beauty of your home from fading with the sun.
