The Rewarding Benefits of Landscape Lighting

Are you looking to light up your gorgeous landscape and make your property look more pristine? Do you wish there was a way to show off your landscape during the day and night? If so, then you need to look into landscape lighting for your home.

Doing so can unlock a plethora of benefits. It can single out your landscape's most important aspects, make your home appear more decorative at night, enhance the security of your home, and so much more.

See below for an in-depth guide that highlights the benefits of landscape lighting and why you should reach out to a landscape lighting company to inquire.

1. Enhances the Security of Your Home

Depending on where you live in Collin County, your neighborhood might not have many lighting fixtures. That can leave your property in the dark once the sun goes down.

Not only does the lack of lighting make it harder for people to see your home at night, but it can also invite criminal activity to it. 

Statistics from the FBI show that 39-percent of all burglaries occur at night. If your home lacks proper outside lighting, it increases the odds that a break-in will occur at your residence.

Luckily, there's an easy way to combat that: install landscape lighting. Doing so can give you a way to shine a light (and attention) towards the main entryways in your house.

Just like a cockroach, the light will scare away burglars and cause them to find another home (that lacks proper outdoor lighting) to steal from.

That said, make sure you aren't just covering the front and back door. A burglar is just as likely to use first-floor windows to break in, so make sure you're casting lights on them as well. 

If a burglary does occur at your house, a neighbor might see the action (thanks to your landscape lighting) and contact local authorities.

2. Boosts Your Exterior's Aesthetic

Have you ever wondered why we love to take a stroll through a Christmas light show or why our eyes naturally gravitate towards light fixtures? As it turns out, there is real science behind that.

Studies have shown that light naturally stimulates the mind when a human lays eyes on it. In fact, those same studies have shown that the more energy that's used in the light, the more attractive it appears and the more stimulated the human brain becomes.

In other words: landscape lighting can cause all of your neighbors to do a double-take when they pass by your home. 

If you hire a professional landscape lighting and irrigation service, they'll be able to highlight the key features of your home.

3. Increase Safety for Your Family

We all know how easy it can be to trip in the dark. Take one wrong step on an uneven surface and you or your loved ones might hit the deck.

That trip and fall can lead to a serious injury. The most common injuries from trips are fractures, broken bones, and dislocated joints.

Your new landscape lighting layout can be constructed to illuminate all the major pathways to your house. It can make it easier for all your friends and relatives to make their way up to the front door without any stress.

Our clients love the way that their lighting shines on their patios, decks, driveways, walkways, balconies, and so on. 

The outdoor lighting allows everyone to collect their bearings as they walk. Even the slightest incline or decline could be risky, especially for your elderly loved ones.

4. Boosts Your Home's Value

You aren't the only one that finds landscape lighting desirable. If you invest in lighting around your property, then you've saved the next owner of your home from that expense.

Interested buyers will find value in your landscape lighting and irrigation. It can even help you boost the asking price a bit to cover some of the cost of installation.

Even if you don't plan on selling your home, increasing your home's value is a worthwhile endeavor. All of your neighbors will admire the way your home looks at night. Who knows, you might start a trend in your community!

5. Show Off Your Favorite Features

Are you looking to show off the colonial style of your home and make it shine like a national monument at night? Do you want your stylish front door to say "come on in!" to everyone that passes by it at night?

That's the power of landscape lighting. You can use different light fixtures to amplify the look of your home's favorite features.

The lighting can be used to show off those sharp edges, beautiful window trim, and—of course—your beautiful landscape that you've invested time and money into.
