The Benefits of Landscape Lighting

The benefits of landscape lighting can help increase functionality and the overall aesthetics of any backyard landscaping. At Fontana Ponds & Water Features, we understand how important it is to install landscape lighting. That is why we offer a wide range of landscaping services, including landscape design and construction for landscape lighting.

The Main Benefits of Landscape Lighting

Some of the main benefits of landscape lighting include:

1. Illuminates Outdoor Living Spaces

Adding landscape lighting to your backyard can be a great way to extend your living space outdoors, allowing you to entertain guests, have meals, and spend time with the kids outside at night. Outdoor lighting can also help add ambiance and a more relaxing aesthetic to a space. Consider installing landscape lighting on a dimmer switch, so you can have a bright light when the kids are playing outside and low light for a romantic evening.

2. Highlights Landscaping Decor

Strategically placing landscape lighting around the yard can help highlight features you already have, as well as help guide people down paths and walkways. Consider placing lights near water features or to spotlight trees and plants to illuminate the beautiful colours. Installing landscape lighting in your yard can also help increase your home’s property value and curb appeal.

3. Provides Safety and Security

Using landscape lighting can create a safer and more secure environment for your family and guests. Consider placing lights in high traffic areas, such as paths, walkways, the driveway, patios, decks, around the pool, outdoor seating areas, and stairs to guide people safely from one location in the yard to the next. Installing landscape lighting can also help deter criminals from entering your yard, making guests feel more comfortable around your house at night.
