As we begin the slow slide into autumn, darkness is settling in a little earlier, so it’s a perfect time to talk about residential landscape lighting. There’s no comparison between a dark house and one that’s artfully lit to highlight your home’s architectural and landscaping, but the benefits are just visual. Here are three reasons to consider residential landscape lighting here in Reno and Sparks.

Landscape Lighting Means More Curb Appeal

Landscape is generally appreciated when the sun is up. But with well-placed lights around your home’s exterior, you can enjoy your outdoor space when the sun goes down, too. Professional landscape lighting enhances the features you love, making your home stand out as night falls. It creates a dramatic difference that you’ll enjoy every time you drive up.

Landscape Lighting Gives You More Time To Enjoy Your Outdoor Space

After investing time and money into your outdoor space, you should be able to enjoy them even after the sun goes down. With professional landscape lighting in your patio, driveway and walkways, you can! When the weather cooperates, exterior lighting means you have the light you need to continue relaxing or socializing. And in the event it’s simply too cold, landscape lighting adds a safety consideration, illuminating areas of your property to deter would-be burglars and make it easier for you to find your way to the recycle bin.

Landscape Lighting Improves Safety & Security

If you have shadowy side entrances or dark entryways, there’s a greater risk of crimes of opportunity—the wrong person walking by and deciding to take advantage of the darkness to gain access to your home or fenced yard. But strategically positioned lights are a useful deterrent, and they make it easier and safer for you to get in and out as well.
