If you consider outdoor lighting simply for aesthetic beauty, it is time to rethink adding illumination to your Chagrin Falls and Moreland Hills, OH, landscape. Not only does outdoor lighting make your yard look amazing after dark but it improves the safety of moving about after the sun sets, too.
Front Yard Lighting
Illuminating the front yard can be important for your visitors when they are arriving to locate your home. Have your landscape professional start with the driveway plan. There you can have lighting added to the landscape beds that border your driveway and because they are discreet, you will not see any wires or obvious fixtures but only the soft glow of lovely light on the surface. You could also add lighting to the entrance of the driveway for a more prominent entry from the road.
When your garage does not have as much lighting as you wish, a landscape professional can add spotlights to illuminate the dark corners and other spaces where you would like to have light. This can allow you to exit your car safely and move into the house with good visibility.
Illuminating the walkway to the front door can keep your guests from stumbling in the dark landscape as they make their way to the entry. The lighting can be hidden in the landscape beds that line the walkway or you can choose to have visible, charming light fixtures that emit a soft glow for the surface.
Your landscaper can add under-step lighting to add visibility to the steps for safe ascending and descending when you come and go there.
Backyard Lighting
Illuminating the back yard can be as important as the front yard since you and your family spend so much time there in the pleasant weather. Adding additional lighting to your patio can be a first step in giving this space some more function and safety.
A landscaper can install lighting around the patio perimeter for more visibility and add spotlights to the exterior of the house for banishing dark spaces. When you add the lighting to the patio, this can be an ideal time to expand the patio itself, too. If your patio does not meet your needs or look as beautiful as you would like, they can design an enticing custom paver surface for years of durability and pleasing appearance. If you choose to upgrade the patio, consider adding a pergola or roof for shade in the hot summer months and to protect you from the rain.
Illuminating the walkways in the backyard can allow you to move about the yard safely in the darkness. Also identify the spaces that are dark and could benefit from light such as the garbage area and places that are difficult to see when walking from the backyard to the front.
Your landscaper can also add lighting to the base of the trees for added appeal and to the play areas so your children can spend longer in the day enjoying time there. This can become the perfect way to end a day.
Wherever you wish to add lighting, a skilled landscape professional can accomplish a plan to light your landscape for increased safety and attractiveness for your unique outdoor spaces.
