Imagine you’re a werewolf who loves howling at the moon.
You head out into your yard to get your midnight howl on, but — clouds! No moon in sight! Oh, nooooooooooo!
Luckily, you had landscape moonlighting installed high up in the branches of your trees.
The word “free” is so tempting, right? Free pizza! Two great words.
So when you hear “free landscape lighting from the sun” it makes you want pizza. Or maybe that’s just us.
Yes, solar lights give you free light, thanks to the sun.
But are solar landscape lights worth it?
If you’re hiding out from gangsters (we know, you were framed) or panicked that aliens will find you, or just want to disappear for a few days with no questions asked, never mind about landscape lighting for curb appeal.
Everybody else, you need it.
How can you increase curb appeal with landscape lighting? Let’s shed some light on the subject.
If you’re hosting a fancy party by your pool and, wearing your prettiest summer dress, carry a tray of bacon-wrapped shrimp out to your guests, but trip in the dark and fall into the pool, that’s a good reason to add pool landscape lighting.
If you know enough about landscape lighting to know that not every company does it well, you’re off to a good start.
Professional landscape lighting shows off at night the things you love about your home in the daylight — the cool architecture, pretty plants, the paver patio. It also keeps you from tripping and tumbling into the pool.
Sone landscape lighting mistakes are obvious. Like if you’re reading this with your leg in a cast because you tripped over your neighbor’s black cat that disappeared in your dark driveway.
If you hire any old company to install your landscape lighting, sure, you’ll have lights.
But you might not have magic.
When it’s expertly designed by skilled lighting pros, landscape lighting transforms your home and yard.
It’ll look so elegant and high-end, you might drive right past the first few nights, assuming it’s somebody else’s fantastic house.
But not everybody does it well.
If the only tree you think about lighting is your Christmas tree, you’re missing out.
Central Florida trees are cool, from the exotic diamond-cut trunk of the Sylvester Date Palm to the wide-spreading branches of the pretty magnolia.
Why not show them off at night? The results can be tree-mendous. (Sorry. Had to.)
Outdoor lighting works pretty hard.
It makes you feel safe when you walk around outside at night, offers a cheerful greeting when you pull in the driveway, sets the mood when you entertain friends outside after sundown, and highlights your home’s most impressive features after dark.
It keeps you from tripping over your kid’s toys and tumbling into the pool in your clothes. That’s worth a lot, right?
So how much does all this life-changing light cost?
Is it possible to find paradise in your own backyard?
What if it had a pool, a mini beach with a hammock and fire pit, festive string lights, and plenty of comfy lounge chairs?
Pretty close.
