Here are some reasons to add outdoor lighting to your landscape.
Now that winter is in full swing, the days are getting shorter. However, just because the Sun is setting earlier, it doesn’t mean you have to remain indoors all evening. You have likely invested a significant amount of time and money in designing your outdoor space to meet your specific needs and desires. So the last thing you want is to watch your landscape longingly from indoors. By incorporating outdoor lighting into your landscape design, you can enjoy your outdoor living space into the evening. Here are some reasons to add outdoor lighting to your landscape.
Use Your Yard at Night
If you want to enjoy the evening hours in your yard and be drawn outside to use those spaces, you will need some lighting to create the functional and aesthetic lighting that makes it happen. Create a resort-style ambience with lighting that lets you entertain into the evening.
Safety And Security
Moving about in your outdoor spaces at night can be a hazard unless you install some landscape lighting to guide the way. Those transition points and elevation changes beg for a light so you can see where you are stepping. Security-wise, a well-lit yard deters break-ins and trespassing. A well-lit home is less likely to be targeted, as it appears well-maintained and always gives the impression of someone being home. Additionally, those dark areas of the yard are exposed, leaving no easy entry points.
Highlight Your Favourite Features
Whether in your home or outside, the landscape can be enjoyed at night more often when your key features are lit up. Enjoy the view of your water feature, illuminated trees, patio spaces, and more from inside your home when your landscape lighting makes everything come alive at night. You can create a view that rivals the balcony of your beach resort with well-placed lighting.
Increase Your Curb Appeal
Be the envy of your neighbours and make everyone’s head turn when they pass by your property. Your curb appeal isn’t just for the daytime; think of the impact your nighttime curb appeal will have when you are the only house on the block lit up. On top of that, there is nothing more welcoming and comforting than driving up to your home at night and seeing everything lit like a luxury estate.
