There are as many reasons for landscape lighting as there are people who want it. The trick is, actually designing and installing the system that each person actually wants. Here are some of the main reasons for thinking about having professional landscape lighting installed:
1. Improve security
2. Add value to your home or business
3. Highlight the landscape, lawn and trees
4. Enhance architectural features of your home or business
5. Bring attention to changes in elevation like sudden drop-offs or steps
6. Develop atmosphere and ambience
7. Extend use of your outdoor living spaces
8. Increase safety around your home, boat dock or pool area
9. Create a full moon effect around your home every night
10. Bring house guests to your preferred entry
11. Bring attention to artwork and sculptures around your property
The most popular reason folks add outdoor lighting to their property is actually #3 – lighting really sets off the landscape in a way that nothing else can. The best landscape in the world will fade into the darkness, becoming invisible, once the sun sets if there is no lighting.
One of our clients said it best when they told us that arriving home after we installed their custom lighting was like arriving at a high end resort every night. Now, who doesn’t want to actually live at a high end resort?
