Why do you need landscape lighting?

Matt’s mouth forms a thin line. “I don’t know, I’m not sure of the cost of landscape lighting but I hear it’s kind of expensive. We’d have to get several benefits from them for it to be worth it to me.”

Christina smiles. “Well, then I have just the thing for you! There’s a blog post I found on a local contractor’s website that has 5 benefits of outdoor lighting on it.” She gets her phone out and starts searching for it.

“Aha! The benefits of landscape lighting. Here, take a look,” says Christina, handing her phone to Matt.

Here’s what he finds out:

If you’re on the fence about investing in landscape lighting, it’s time to commit to a brighter future! There are so many reasons to add landscape lighting to your outdoor décor that it’s actually silly not to do it.

When it comes to landscape lighting, a lot of people tend to think of the aesthetic value it brings to a home, and rightfully so – as the right design can illuminate the best features of your home while adding curb appeal.

But landscape lighting does more than just give your home a beautiful glow long after the sun’s gone down, it also provides a range of other benefits including security, safety, comfort and utility.

Here are the top 10 reasons to install landscape lighting at your home or commercial property:

Outdoor Landscape Lighting Creates a Focal Point

Outdoor landscape lighting can help add drama to your property by creating focal points. Landscape lighting companies often focus on large trees, water features, and statues in order to create eye-catching focal points on a property.

Outdoor Landscape Lighting Can Extend Your Living Area

Why spend your time inside when you can enjoy more time in the garden or relaxing on your patio? A creative landscape lighting design can help you enjoy your outdoor space at all hours of the day… and night!

A beautiful backyard porch or patio is great during the daytime, but if you aren’t able to use it after the sun has set, you are missing out on a valuable living space in your home. This is especially true for smaller homes as an outdoor oasis can open your home up and create additional lounging and entertaining space.  What’s more, a landscape lighting design also offers the comfort and relaxation of spending a warm summer evening out under the stars with family and friends.

Outdoor Landscape Lighting Increases the Curb Appeal of Your Property

Outdoor landscaping lighting can increase the curb appeal of any  residential,  commercial, or industrial property. Even if your home is modest, landscape lighting can give it a little additional charm and whimsy.

A beautiful outdoor landscape lighting design shows that you take pride in your property and appreciate the natural beauty of your surroundings. And give your neighbours something to appreciate (and envy!). Not only that, it will make your home stand on a crowded block as well.

Outdoor Lighting Systems Increase the Safety and Security of Your Property

Illuminating the unique features of your home is one thing, but when it comes to the security of your home and the safety of your loved ones inside of it, nothing else matters. Fortunately landscape lighting helps to secure your home and deter from incidents like criminal and animal activity.

One of the worst feelings is pulling into the driveway late at night and realizing you’ve forgotten to turn your porch light on. With no lighting outside to guide you, you slowly make your way to the door from your driveway, hoping to avoid sidestepping into your garden. Once there, you struggle to find the key you’re looking for. With a landscape lighting design, you no longer need to make that late-night navigation to your doorstep.

In addition, a well lit home or business deters criminals. Protect your property with the power of outdoor lighting. Homes that are poorly lit are more than 30% more likely to be targeted by vandals or criminals. Sophisticated spotlights and programmable time settings and motion sensor lights add character at the same time enhancing the safety and security of your space.

Outdoor Lighting Systems Look Great All Season Long

It doesn’t matter whether the snow’s blowing or the sun’s shining, outdoor landscape lighting looks great all year long.  Landscape lighting adds beauty to your home, enhancing its look, curb appeal and its resale value. Lighting provides a welcoming feeling to anyone who visits after dark. And who doesn’t like a brightly lit home to greet them?  Our outdoor lighting experts can also help you highlight a beautifully decorated holiday tree or shine a light on a seasonal floral arrangement.
