I use landscape lighting on all sides of my home. Living on twenty-eight acres and isolated in a wooded area, I wanted to make sure that my immediate spaces were brightly lit for safety as well as a theft deterrent. My family is also big on creating outdoor rooms and the landscape lighting allows us to enjoy our gardening endeavors long after the sun has gone down. It’s even encouraged us to plant night blooming flowers we wouldn’t have bothered with before.
The low voltage landscape lighting we chose is both decorative and functional. I wanted to make sure we chose a lighting solution that would allow us to maximize the display of our herb and flower beds, but that also wouldn’t interfere with necessary tasks like snow plowing and watering. There were so many choices for decorative and functional landscape lighting out there that I had a fun time choosing the perfect look for our landscaping needs.
I was really surprised when my insurance agent told me I would get a break on the cost of my home owner’s policy. I didn’t know when I invested in the landscape lighting that because it was creating burglar deterrents that I’d get a price back on my policy similar to anti-theft devices on my car. That was a pleasant surprise, and I even invited the agent over for an evening tea and walk through our lit moon flower garden.
I highly recommend landscape lighting to all homeowners I encounter. Our home has appreciated in value because we now have a round the clock value to our gardens, and we even became more social, hosting evening dinners on our patio. With the many economical advantages to landscape lighting, I don’t know why everyone doesn’t use it for upgrading their homes.
