Does your property look as good at night as it does during the day? Landscape lighting is a valuable tool for homeowners in Delaware. Not only is a lighting system an excellent way to keep your home safe and secure, but it can also boost curb appeal by highlighting your property’s landscape and architecture. There are plenty of landscape lighting design strategies that professionals can use to make your property look its best. Consider how these landscape lighting tips can boost your home’s curb appeal, and be sure to contact the team at Sposato Irrigation for landscape lighting design, installation, and maintenance services.

Consider Your Porch or Patio Carefully

When it comes to landscape lighting design, many homeowners emphasize their backyards, patios, porches, and decks. This is often because these spaces are either prime for entertaining guests or are visible from the street. Wash lighting and overhead fixtures can be useful for illuminating large areas, and significant architectural features can be highlighted using directional lighting. Be sure to install a system that is easy to use and control, and consider having your landscape lighting contractor set up a timer.

Highlight Your Trees and Shrubs

Does your property have a gorgeous walnut, oak, or maple tree? Show it off! Enhance some of your favorite trees by lighting them up at night. Installing two or three lights around the base of a tree provides multi-directional light and dynamic visual appeal, making your trees seem even more alive. You can also install fixtures around your garden beds, shrubs, and hardscape elements, highlighting differences in texture and eliminating hiding spots for trespassers.

Angle and Height are Critical in Landscape Lighting Design

Throughout your property, consider the height and angle of your new light fixtures. Angling fixtures upwards can make trees, bushes, and architecture seem dramatic and larger-than-life. Downward-facing bulbs are often used over covered decks or porches to provide widespread illumination. Some homeowners even choose to position upward-facing fixtures at shoulder height to create unique wall sconces — this technique, like many others, makes stonework really stand out.
