Light it up
You cannot overlook the importance of Landscape lighting around
your home, Whether it is your personal residence, or your investment property. Lighting up your home can enhance the appearance of your home, but appearance is just one bennifit you get from Landscape lighting.
See where you are going
Safety
is the most important feature, that exterior lighting brings to your home. First you want
people to see where they are walking, The last thing any home owner wants is people tripping on their property, and if it is your rental property, it is even more important to have a well lit yard. You also you want your home to be well
lit to keep intruders away. Dark areas in your yard can be attractive to people
who don’t have the best intentions.
Show off those night time features
The beauty of landscape lighting in your yard is also a
great way that lighting up your home can enhance the value of your home. As a
Realtor I always tell buyers to go and look at a home at night to see what it
looks like. There are many reasons a buyer wants to go To the home at night, but
getting a look at the home at night can make or break a sale. If the home is
decorated with Landscape lighting that enhances the beauty of the home, it can
make a buyer want that home.
Smoke and Mirrors
The way you light up your home can be very important. You
can use lighting to show the best parts of your yard. First, you want to light
up the pathway that people will be walking. As I said before, you want people
to be able to see where they walk for safety purposes. The next thing you want
to do is find areas in your yard that you want to showcase and light those
areas up. If you have a great tree or a plant area, you want people to be able
to see those areas. The great part is that while you are lighting up the area’s
you like about your yard, you can keep dark those areas that are not so attractive. Think about the way the movies use lighting. Smoke and Mirrors, you want
people to see what you want them to see and you want them to believe what you
want them to believe.
The right Lighting
The type of lights you use can also be important. If you can
spend a little more, get the energy efficient LED lighting. You can use fewer
lights, because the LED lights are brighter and still get the desired lighting and the cost of your electric bill
will be better for you in the long run. You should also do some research on what lights will best fit your yard. I am not a proponent of solar lighting, I have not had much luck with them, I find them to be unreliable.
Whenever you think about making your home more desirable,
don’t forget to light it up. It can make a big difference and you will enjoy
the look of your home at night.
