Landscape lighting may seem only effective in the Summer months, with a great ambience that can be so appealing to homeowners. Yet the most crucial time to have landscape lighting may actually be in the Winter months. Correct lighting placement is another way to combat the doom and gloom of the longer nights. As many feel impacted by seasonal depression, find creative ways to feel safe and happier during the Winter season.
Safety and Security First
Watching your step has never meant more than in the Winter months, as one misstep can sadly cause great pain, no matter your age. The first step is to ensure all walkways have light shining on them, highlighting the dangerous icy zones. Avoid the choice of solar lights as they may not always be charged, and choose LED weather-resistant fixtures like brass, steel, and stainless steel. Take your time walking slowly and watch your surroundings; ice can easily be hidden under a fluffy, snowy walkway. Security is the other aspect that proper landscape lighting should enforce. With a correct layout, homeowners can see if there are any dangerous animals that their pets wouldn’t get along with before letting them out, or an intruder, allowing the necessary time to inform authorities and protect the family. At Clark’s, we guarantee proper landscape lighting installation and a proper layout for versatility and ambience.
Winter Aesthetics
With safety and security covered, the focus shifts to the holiday spirit. Do you have extra Christmas decorations and no shelf space to include them? To the great outdoors we go, accenting trees with ornaments and ribbons. Pairing these decorations with proper lighting and snow-covered trees is the perfect recipe for a lovely winter wonderland and a Merry Christmas! It’s important to consider energy-efficient LED options and smart timers for hands-off convenience. Configuring your landscape lighting during the Fall-Winter months may not seem convenient, except for when you hire professionals at Clark’s Landscape. Jobs that aren’t done in the Spring-Summer allow more availability, so we can make your home safe and secure with the ambience you desire.
