Providing outdoor illumination also has practical and safety benefits.  First, it can deter intruders from entering your yard – even softer lighting can ruin a hiding place or reveal someone’s approach.  Second, landscape lighting makes it easier for you and your guests to navigate walkways safely.  Whether you have terracing, a fountain, or low-lying decorations or flower beds that are easy to stumble over, providing your guests with enough lighting to navigate your yard is essential.

Few people will turn down ways to make their homes seem larger when they are throwing a party or hosting any kind of event.  Even if you already have an expansive home with plenty of room for entertaining, giving guests the run of the outdoors gives them a more varied and interesting experience.  Besides, during the summer especially, many people prefer spending time outdoors breathing in the fresh air, gazing at the sky, and just taking in the natural environment.  The soft but welcoming glow of landscape lighting makes your yard more inviting and accessible, without ruining the ambiance.

Many homeowners spend hours laboring to create an attractive yard, or they pay an appreciable amount for someone else’s help and expertise.  Either way, you’ve invested in your yard, and leaving it invisible and forgotten half the time is simply a waste.  Calm ground lights can reveal paths and bushes, while focused spotlights or the dispersed light of hanging lighting can focus attention on the house siding or prominent features like trees, water features, or sculptures.  Your overall lighting arrangement will allow you and your guests to see all the time and thought you’ve put into decorating, organizing, and maintenance of your yard.

Many people think that outdoor lighting is primarily useful for summer gatherings or parties.  However, there is truly no season that outdoor lighting doesn’t flatter.  It can reveal vibrant autumn colors, enhance the twinkling light of snow, and highlight new growth and blooms.  On a related note, outdoor lighting – if it is chosen tastefully – never really goes out of style.  If you put some time and thought into selecting and arranging your lights, you’ll get years of enjoyment from them.
