One of the ways to envision why it is important to have not just adequate landscape lighting, but exceptional custom landscape lighting, is to remember the last time you went trick-or-treating on Halloween. As you went around the neighborhood, you probably avoided those homes without any lights on, either because you figured they weren’t home or because it just didn’t feel right to approach their door. You might also have had second thoughts if all they had was a single light on the porch. The ones you really loved were aglow with welcoming lighting that illuminated the walkway, making it feel safe.
While you wouldn’t invest in landscape lighting for the sole purpose of making children have a fun and safe Halloween, you can now understand the difference between a home you want to stay away from and one that is welcoming and beautiful, and that is what outdoor or landscape lighting is all about! The right lighting highlights landscaping and architectural details while adding value to your home and safety for you, your family, and evening visitors.
Another wonderful benefit of custom outdoor or landscape lighting is so you and your family can enjoy the outdoor living areas in the warmer months. Beautiful and efficient outdoor lighting for your patio, deck, pool, and other outdoor living areas provides a nice place to relax in the evening or entertain friends and family.
These are just a few reasons why landscape lighting is important. For the best results, install a lighting system that combines aesthetic and function, while being energy-efficient so you won’t see a significant increase in your utility bill.
