Top Benefits of Outdoor Landscape Lighting
Landscape lighting is an ideal way to improve your property and increase the enjoyment of your outdoor spaces. Partnering with our expert electricians affords homeowners the following benefits:
Extend Your Living Space
Outdoor landscape lighting can extend your indoor living space into the outdoors by making your backyard or deck usable after dark. With so many stylish lighting options to choose from, you can turn your backyard into an oasis. The right lighting transforms your backyard into a wonderful place to enjoy a meal, spend time with family, host parties, or relax, no matter the time of day.
Highlight Décor
You put a lot of work into your landscaping, and outdoor lighting can help you show it off. Finding the right lighting for your backyard creates a focal point that puts a spotlight on special, beautiful features, such as:
- Pergolas
- Trees
- Fountains
- Ponds
- Flower gardens
- Patios
- Pools*
You can also add ambient mood lighting by featuring bold statement lights that are white or brightly colored or incorporate lighting that matches your décor to create a visually appealing look.
*Please note: Pool wiring should always be left to electricians with pool experience due to the complexities of the wiring and bonding requirements.
Increase Home Value
Landscape lighting is a cost-effective way to add value to your home, and it is one of the most sought-after features for homebuyers. No matter the size or style of your home, outdoor lighting can highlight its best attributes while adding space, dimension, and depth. A well-lit home transforms even the blandest exteriors into a shining monument that makes your home more desirable and beautiful.
Improve Curb Appeal
The value of your home goes together with its curb appeal. The more attractive your home looks, the more value it has for potential buyers. If a home doesn’t look good from the outside, buyers might not take a second look at the inside. Outdoor lighting brightens up your home’s exterior, creating a warm look that invites people in.
Enhance Safety and Security
You deserve to feel safe and secure in your home. Carefully placed outdoor lighting will illuminate driveways, walkways, and paths while lighting up uneven areas and stairs. You can use outdoor lighting to help you stay safe while walking around your yard at night by installing it around decks, patios, and other obstacles. Lights placed on exterior walls and above your garage can help reduce your risk of slipping, tripping, and falling.
In addition, a well-lit home serves as a good deterrent to burglars and thieves, as it prevents them from hiding in the shadows. If neighbors and passersby can see your home from the road, they can also see a potential thief or criminal.
