Enhance Curb Appeal with Landscape Lighting

08 Apr Enhance Curb Appeal with Landscape Lighting

SERVING AREAS OF BRISTOL, JOHNSON CITY, AND KINGSPORT TN

First impressions are everything, so when it comes to your home — and, for instance, helping guests find you — curb appeal is important. Landscape lighting is a beautiful way to showcase your home, creating illuminating curb appeal even when it’s dark outside. It’s also a smart way to protect your home in an aesthetically-pleasing way. Hidden but powerful, different lighting elements can accentuate specific areas of your landscape, including trees, flower beds, columns, water fountains, and even your driveway. Landscape lighting is beautiful and increases safety and security on and around your property. Don’t let choosing the appropriate lighting and landscape locations be confusing. Our Tri-cities licensed electricians at Thompson Electrical Service share on the blog today about landscape lighting and how they can work with you to create a masterpiece that illuminates your home at night.

Common types of landscape lighting

Our Kingsport licensed electricians have multiple fixtures to choose from to customize your landscape-lighting masterpiece. They have the knowledge and experience to know which lights work best on different features around your home.

Here are a few of our lighting professionals’ favorites:

• Spotlights are the most common landscape light and are used to highlight key features.
• Floodlights are spotlights that are wider to brighten broad areas while using only one single fixture.
• Path lights guide residents and visitors by illuminating pathways and walkways, or they can be placed in large flower beds to showcase areas with ground vegetation.
• Hardscape fixtures features provide low-profile lighting for specific architectural features.
• In-ground lights create uplighting that requires the fixture to remain hidden from plain view.
• Underwater lights can be partially or fully submerged in water year-round to create an illuminated fountain or pond.

Highlight architectural features

Simple uplights on your Tennessee home can illuminate its very best features, including stonework, pillars, and arches. Our experienced Johnson City landscape lighting experts know how to position upright lights to professionally and artistically showcase your home while avoiding any unwanted light shining directly into your home’s windows.

Illuminate driveways, pathways

Landscape lighting along your driveway is beautiful, making your home look warm and inviting, but it’s also practical and improves safety. When guests are visiting, it’s much easier to navigate in and out of an unfamiliar driveway if it’s illuminated. Lights along walkways and stairs help guests notice potential obstructions, such as tripping hazards and low-hanging tree branches. Our licensed electricians in Bristol have the knowledge and experience needed to plan, install and position various types of landscaping lighting to illuminate your driveway, stairs, and pathways.

Light up your landscaping

Trees, flowers, and shrubs deserve more attention than they can get only during daylight hours. Our Kingsport landscape lighting professionals will create a customized plan for your Tennessee home and will artistically add soft, appealing lights that continue showcasing your landscaping far after the sun has gone down for the day.
