Now that warmer weather is returning, you may be looking for an energy-efficient way to illuminate your landscape design and make outdoor entertaining easier. The experts at DRS Lawn & Landscape of Long Valley, NJ, recommend installing LED lighting. These small but powerful bulbs can be used to line walkways, highlight your favorite plants, and make your outdoor living space more enjoyable at night.

If you’ve been thinking about adding light fixtures to your yard this spring, there are three reasons why you should consider LED lighting:

• Lower Energy Bills: Traditional incandescent lights lose up to 90% of the energy they consume by emitting heat. LED lights, on the other hand, do not release very much heat, meaning they use the energy they consume more efficiently. Over time, this efficiency can help lower your monthly electrical bills.
• More Attractive Yard: LED-compatible fixtures are available in a wide range of shapes, styles, and finishes. Whether you want small stake lights to line the path to your front door or spotlights to illuminate your favorite plants and trees, you’ll find fixtures that enhance your landscape design. Advances in LED technology mean that instead of bright, white light, these bulbs now give off an appealing warm glow.
• Lower Maintenance Costs: Adding LED lights to you landscape design can be more expensive upfront, but the longer lifespan of the bulbs limits your maintenance expenses.

High-quality LED lighting makes any home and yard feel more welcoming. To learn how DRS Lawn & Landscape can create a lighting scheme for your outdoor living space, call (908) 879-0600.
