Most of us have a light at our entryways, but can you safely walk throughout your property without worrying about tripping? Installing lights along walkways, steps, and driveways will add an extra layer of safety for guests that come to and from your home after dark. Falls are more likely to happen after dark due to uneven spots in the walkway materials or pets crossing your path. The best way to protect yourself and your visitors from tripping is to install landscape lighting so that everyone can clearly see where they are walking.

Deter Unwanted Guests with Landscape Lighting

Strategically installing outdoor lights will make your home less inviting to unwanted guests. Choosing motion lights with sensors will turn on the light any time that it detects movement on your property, notifying you of any unusual activity that you might not have noticed before.

Burglars often go for easier targets and will most likely avoid homes that are well lit. Also, by installing adequate lighting around the perimeter of your home, you will deter animals like raccoons and deer. These animals are less likely to enter where there are lights.
