Celebrate International Dog Day with an Outdoor Lighting Design

INTERNATIONAL DOG DAY IS ONLY TWO WEEKS AWAY (AUGUST 26). ARE THE AREAS AROUND YOUR HOME PROPERLY LIT FOR YOUR BEST FRIEND’S SAFETY AFTER DARK?

There is no doubt about it – Charlotteans love their pets! Over the last few years, we have seen Charlotte become more and more dog-friendly. On July 30, we learned that a law was passed, which allows us to bring our pets to Charlotte breweries and tap rooms. In honor of our beloved pets, Outdoor Lighting Perspectives of Charlotte can help you make the exterior of your home even more pet-friendly!

Is your backyard and landscaping safe for your pet at night?

The addition of outdoor lighting provides a plethora of benefits to homeowners. These benefits encompass enhancing the beauty and curb appeal of your home and landscape while in turn, making it safer and more secure. But, did you ever think about the ways outdoor lighting enhances the time our furry friends spend outdoors too?

For homeowners who have a fenced backyard, or designated area within the landscape to turn their dog out into instead of walking their dog, a dark backyard can be a source for concern for the safety of your pet. This can be even more of a concern in rural areas in around the Charlotte region, where wildlife may frequent your property.

Especially making those evening trips outdoors safer and more enjoyable for both you and your pet, as the days become shorter and shorter this year.

The addition of outdoor lighting such as path, sidewalk, and landscape lighting can aid in making evening visits outdoors more enjoyable and safer for both you and your pet. Outdoor lighting will allow you to return from evening walks into a well-lit environment allowing for relaxed, safer entry back into the home. For pets that have specified areas within your landscape, outdoor lighting will make the time they spend outdoors in the evening safer because of the extended visibility it offers both you and your pet, also giving you peace of mind.

Outdoor lighting in front of your home will see you and your pet safely to your front door after walks in dark hours!

If you are a dog owner there is no escaping the inevitable need for evening walks and backyard turnouts. For some pet parents, taking a stroll after dark seems easy, but if you live in a secluded area with limited lighting or vice-versa with lots of traffic, this may be a source of trepidation.
