Investing in beautiful landscaping is an excellent way to improve your property's curb appeal and overall value. However, if you haven’t installed landscape lighting, you’re missing out on the opportunity to show it off once the sun sets. The following are several ways to illuminate your landscaping for a lovely, welcoming, and safe home every night.

3 Landscape Lighting Updates to Make This Spring

1. Dramatic Uplighting

For an extra dose of drama, install lights in the ground right in front of your home’s siding. When aimed upwards, this “uplighting” creates a theatrical effect that’s sure to impress the neighbors. Uplighting is especially impactful for areas of visual interest, such as tiled siding accents, textured walls, or statues that create interesting shadows against the lights.

2. Well-Lit Paths

One of the best ways to avoid accidents on your property is to ensure driveways and walkways are illuminated in the dark. Do this by installing stick lights in the grass along the paving to offer a low-glow without blinding you, your family, or guests. With plenty of solar-powered options available, you won’t have to worry about additional costs for power or batteries to operate them.

3. Illuminating Accents

Don’t forget to shine some light on the beautiful features in your backyard and outdoor spaces. Swimming pools, for example, can be illuminated using fixtures installed along the sides. This showcases your pool at night and also allows for fun night swims during the summer. Water-safe lighting fixtures can also be installed at the bottom of your backyard fountain, creating a dreamy look as the water trickles and bubbles each evening.
