Planning for an Outdoor Wedding

If you're looking for cost-effective ways to increase your property's safety, security, and ambiance, lightscaping installation professionals can help bring your vision to life.

Here are some things to consider when you work with a lightscaping installation professional this summer.

Safety

Lightscaping can dramatically improve a property's safety. From strategically placed automatic lights on walkways to lighting in dark spaces, a lightscaping installation professional can help you make your property safer.

Subtle:

Many property owners want to light up walkways, but they don't want to create eyesores in the process. Your lightscaping installation professional can create lighting options around walkways that blend into the spaces. For instance, you might use a series of recessed lights angled beneath shrubbery to make your walkways well-light, while keeping the lights out of view.

Smart:

As light technology continues to improve, your lightscaping installation professional can integrate smart lighting products to improve your safety. For instance, you might have a large exterior light placed in areas you commonly use after dark. By using smart exterior lights, your lightscaping installation professional can allow you to adjust these lights from your phone, tablet, or other internet-connected devices. This can allow you to adjust the brightness and other lighting features depending on the situation.

Security

Well-lit spaces can deter criminal activity. Adding a few lightscaping installation features can make your property less enticing to would-be burglars and criminals.

Entry Points:

Adding motion-activated lightscaping features near your property's entry points can expose someone attempting to unlawfully access your property. Your lightscaping installation professional can also link these lights to a home security system. For instance, when a motion-activated light is triggered, you might get an alert on your phone or smartwatch.

Cameras:

Many security systems rely on home security cameras. However, if a space is dark, the home security camera is unlikely to capture nefarious activity. Your lightscaping installation professional can install lights to optimize the functionality of your home security camera system.

Ambiance

Lightscaping installation professionals can also add the final touches on major home remodeling projects.

Color:

If your home remodeling project involved painting, siding, or other major aesthetic changes, your lightscaping installation professional can create lighting options that complement these changes. For instance, if you painted your home a dark grey or blue, your lightscaping installation professional can use a series of lights that create accents to balance the darker colors. The same is true of lighter color schemes, your lightscaping professional can use dark lights to balance the lighter colors.
