Landscape Lighting, a specific type of outdoor lighting using low-voltage lighting fixtures, is both an art and a science. It is a profession born of the marriage between lighting design and landscape design. For this reason, many of the most talented landscape lighting designers are also landscape professionals. Such is the case with Michael Gotowala, President of Preferred Properties Landscaping, Inc., who designs outdoor lighting throughout Connecticut and New York. His designs incorporate all four seasons, both day and night.

As an award-winning lighting designer, Michael visualizes the landscape, hardscapes, focal areas, and the home's architecture. It is how these features appear when they are lit at night that makes an award-winning design. A professional lighting design provides beauty, utility, safety, security, and emotion all at once. It extends your living space into the evening hours. And, since outdoor lighting can easily be coupled with your home automation to provide additional security, they will work with your home automation or security professionals. Preferred also provides temporary outdoor lighting for special events; they can even project 100,000 laser stars into the sky.
