Enhancing Curb Appeal with a Safe Glow
Your home is your sanctuary and trust us when we say, we don’t take that lightly. Throughout Virginia Beach and the entire coastal Virginia area, we work with homeowners to protect their homes at night with the power of outdoor lighting. It’s a common misconception that harsh floodlights and glaring security lighting are necessary to keep your property safe. But we’re experts at helping our clients rethink security lighting by showing them what a proper landscape lighting design and installation can provide to their property's safety. There’s no reason to compromise on beauty to safeguard your home. Our landscape lighting and curb appeal lighting systems achieve a balance of beauty and safety to not only enhance your home but also provide an effective measure for security lighting.
The Beauty and Functionality of Landscape Lighting
When you think about landscape lighting, the first thing that might come to mind is how it enhances the visual appeal of your property. Strategically placed lights can highlight the architectural features of your home, accentuate garden paths, and create an inviting ambiance. However, beyond its decorative purpose, our professionally designed landscape lighting serves a crucial role in home security.
Key Benefits of Curb Appeal and Landscape Lighting for Security
Enhanced Safety
Old-school flood lights and motion lights tend to ruin the aesthetics of your property and malfunction. If they catch slight movement from a bug or animal outdoors, you’re stuck with lighting going on and off all night, increasing anxiety for no reason. And sometimes, they don’t catch motion property and that’s an easy welcome for a potential real threat or intruder.
Our landscape lighting solves all of those potential problems. Not only will your landscape lighting from our team of Virginia Beach outdoor lighting experts make your home beautiful after dark, but it will remain illuminated based on a timer we set during your installation. This ensures that lighting won’t be flashing throughout the night and remains illuminated when you want the added security benefits your lighting provides.
Energy Efficiency
Our landscape lighting solutions are low-voltage, consuming minimal energy to operate. This means you can keep your property well-lit every night without worrying about high electricity bills.
Strategic Illumination
Areas such as driveways, garage entrances, and other common areas where intruders might be spotted are common places for ugly floodlights to ruin the aesthetics of your home’s facade. Instead, we use subtle fixtures and strategic placement in your landscape lighting design to illuminate these areas while still making your property shine beautifully. We’ll also look at other potential dark spots on your property that traditional security lighting might not have solutions for and utilize the best fixtures for proper illumination.
Designing Your Landscape Lighting for Maximum Security
When designing your landscape lighting, we consider the following best practices to maximize both beauty and security:
Highlight Entry Points:
Our design will ensure that all entry points are well-lit. Curb appeal lights can be particularly effective in these areas, as they provide proper illumination across the entire facade of your home.
Eliminate Dark Corners:
During our design consultation and nighttime demonstration, we’ll walk around your property to identify any dark spots or shadows. We’ll place fixtures in these areas to ensure that no critical place is left unlit.
Use a Mix of Lighting Styles:
Our team will combine different types of lighting, such as path lights, uplights, and wall-mounted lights, to create layers of illumination. This not only enhances security but also adds depth and dimension to your landscape.
Utilize Low-Voltage Lighting:
We only utilize low-voltage lighting systems to make sure the lighting system provides ample illumination without consuming too much energy. This is both eco-friendly and cost-effective long term.
