Are you in the market for a quick way to increase the eye appeal and safety of your home or office? If so, we have two words for you: path lighting. Path lighting is an excellent and practical way to enhance safety as well as curb appeal. Strategically installing lights along your outdoor paths make it easier for people to see where they are going in the dark and adds definition to your outdoor space. There are a variety of options available when it comes to path lighting. We are going to share a few of our favorite tips and tricks with you about this type of outdoor lighting.
Path Lighting Is A Smart Investment
While it is true that outdoor lighting, including path lighting, can do wonders for the eye appeal of your home, it is also a vital part of increasing the safety of your home as well. Adding path lighting can help guests and family members walk through your yard safely. This is especially important if you have small children or elderly people that live with you or come visit, as it will help lessen the chances they will trip and fall. It can also help prevent you from fumbling to find your house key in pitch black. The additional lighting can also help deter burglars and other types of crime.
Types of Safe Path Lighting
Is your pathway lined with trees or shrubs? Then uplighting might be the way to go! Uplighting involves placing lights (pointing up) at the base of the trees, illuminating the trunks and foliage. This lighting technique creates a dramatic visual effect. This lighting method would also work for trees in containers lining your pathway. Do you want to add a fun and festive feel to your yard? Add string lights along one or both edges of the walkway. Do you have steps or a decked walkway? Inset lighting might be proper for you then. Do you prefer the lights to be on top of a post? Then we have a solution for you! Here at Houston Lightscapes, we offer a variety of different types and styles of path lighting.
