Summer is more than just beach days and BBQs—it’s the perfect time to enhance your home’s curb appeal and outdoor living experience. Whether you’re entertaining guests on the patio or boosting your home’s nighttime presence, professionally designed outdoor lighting is an enormous game-changer that can change your entire perspective on your backyard – and make all the neighbors come running.
Why Invest in Outdoor Lighting?
1. Boost Curb Appeal Instantly
Landscape and patio lighting are two of the fastest and easiest ways to elevate your home’s exterior aesthetic. From dramatic uplighting on trees to soft pathway lighting that guides the way, a well-lit yard feels elegant, welcoming, and secure.
2. Increase Your Home’s ROI
Outdoor lighting isn’t just about looks. It’s an investment in your home’s future. Real estate experts consistently cite outdoor lighting as a top feature that boosts resale value. A beautifully lit landscape shows care and attention to detail, helping your property stand out in a competitive market.
3. Enhance Outdoor Living Spaces
In Florida, the patio is a year-round living room, dining room, playroom for the kids, and so much more. Lighting extends its use well into the evening—whether you’re hosting a dinner party for everyone in the neighborhood, enjoying a quiet drink alone, or spending time with your closest friends and family members. Custom lighting designs can spotlight features like fire pits, water features, or seating areas for a more luxurious feel.
4. Improve Safety and Security
It’s not just about style: properly placed lighting reduces tripping hazards and deters unwanted visitors, human or critter alike. Path lights, step lights, and motion-detecting fixtures add a layer of protection for both your guests and your peace of mind.
Why Summer Is the Best Time to Install
It may seem like summer is peak season and, therefore, a bad time to make changes to outdoor spaces. But actually, it’s the perfect time to update your outdoor lighting.
Why?
- Contractors have more availability: Beat the seasonal rush and get your project done without long waits.
- Perfect weather for planning and installation: Dry days and long daylight hours help speed up installation time.
- Be ready before holiday entertaining: Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year’s, and gatherings throughout the rest of the year will become even more magical with a beautifully lit outdoor space
