Three Reasons to Get Outdoor Pathway Lighting

Outdoor pathway lighting can be installed for a variety of reasons, from the aesthetic to the practical. There are many reasons why you might consider outdoor pathway lighting, but in this article, we want to highlight the three most common.

Three Reasons to Get Outdoor Pathway Lighting

  1. The most practical reason you might want to light the pathways around your home is safety — both for you and your landscaping. When it’s dark out, you can’t easily see the edge of the pathway. If you step off unexpectedly, you might misstep and injure yourself — and bruises and sprained ankles are far from enjoyable. In a better scenario, though still not ideal, a misstep might have you stepping into a decorative plant or crushing a hedge.
  1. You might also want to install lights to highlight parts of your landscape. If you have a beautiful winding pathway or a prized patch of ornamentals you’d like to highlight, a spotlight or some garden lights on them would be a beautiful addition to your nighttime landscape.
  1. Drawing upon both previous considerations, a final reason you might invest in outdoor pathway lighting is to raise your home’s property value. A safer, more aesthetically pleasing home will increase curb appeal and naturally demand a higher price from any potential buyers in the future.

Whether you want a safer home, a prettier landscape, or just want to raise your property value, outdoor pathway lighting is a perfect way to achieve all three.
