It’s almost that time of the year again when the clocks change for Daylight Saving Time. While making adjustments to clocks in your home and car, you’ll also want to remember to adjust the time and settings on your outdoor lights to accommodate this fall back — including the shorter days it brings with it.
When adding any features to your landscape, there’s a natural curiosity about how the investment will impact the value of your property when it comes time to sell. That leads us to today’s topic: the value landscape lighting adds to your home.
While providing immediate benefits in the form of safety, security, and aesthetic appeal, landscape lighting also packs a punch when it comes to boosting property value.
LED lights haven’t only transformed the indoor lighting industry — they’re also reshaping the world of landscape lighting. Aside from being more energy efficient and less maintenance than their traditional counterparts (with a brighter light to boot), LED landscape lights are also smaller in size. A decreased size lends itself to greater flexibility and more unique design opportunities.

With proper planning, you can enjoy your landscaping all throughout the day and year, including evenings and those darker days of winter. Knowing how to select landscape lighting, or alter the lighting you already have outdoors, is key to achieving this.
Repairing a landscape lighting system can be a headache for homeowners, from the time it takes to address the issue to the costs that are involved. What many homeowners don’t realize, though, is that common landscape lighting repairs can be avoided altogether — with the right products, installation methods and continuous care.
When the season shifts from summer to fall, it’s not just the temperatures and leaf colors that change. The days become much shorter as well. The Northern Hemisphere tilts away from the sun, an effect that becomes even more drastic in the wintertime.
Let there be light. That’s what homeowners are saying when it comes to their outdoor space. Not only are landscape lights used to illuminate the front of homes, but they have grown increasingly popular in backyard spaces as well.
Keeping up with the basic maintenance of your outdoor landscape lighting has numerous benefits. Not only will you maximize the performance of your system, but you’ll also extend its life span and save on costs that would otherwise go toward new parts or even an entirely new system.
