Discover why you need landscape lighting
When you see a home with really awesome landscaping lighting, you know it has something that your home is missing. Whether it’s added security, a more regal appearance, or extending the amount of time you can enjoy your garden in the evening, few things add as much to the appearance of your home and garden as landscaping lighting. But what are the specific benefits of installing landscaping lighting for your home or business? Here they are:
Safety
When you’re coming in from the garden at night, is it difficult to see where you’re going? Adding path lights helps to dramatically reduce the number of trip and fall accidents that happen around your home. But what about the stairs going into your home? Step lights will help show you exactly where you’re going, so you don’t miss that last crucial step.
Security
But beyond personal safety from falls, what about security from outside elements? If you have bushes near your home or live in an area where crime may be a concern, directional lighting that makes it impossible for someone to hide at the entrances to your home can be an awesome option. Do you have a particular area of your property that would benefit from area lighting to avoid security problems, whether it’s a garden that’s being vandalized or a small outbuilding that could be a target for burglars? Area lighting can help illuminate these areas, making it harder for troublemakers to secretly obtain access.
Appeal
Nothing adds appeal to a garden like lighting. Whether you’re looking for directional lighting to highlight a special plant or underwater lighting for your water garden, adding landscaping lighting provides a little extra flair to your well-designed creation.
Functionality
There may be areas you’d like illuminated for functionality after dark. If you enjoy grilling after dark, a BBQ light is helpful to determine whether the food is done or not. If you want to add lighting without having to move it when you’re maintaining your lawn, well lights can be an excellent option.
