Once the sun goes down, limited lighting means your house’s exterior can become a hazardous territory to navigate.

If you arrive home late from work or after an evening out, a darkened home not only looks uninviting – it can also create its own obstacles for getting you inside safely.

But with landscape lighting, you can enhance your Fort Worth, TX home’s curb appeal, while at the same time bringing security to it.

Read on below to see how transformative landscape lighting can be for your property.

Light the Path to Your Front Door

The short walk from your car or driveway to your front door might seem completely harmless in the daytime – but at night, not so much.

Now with your outdoor lighting, you can create a brightly-lit path from your car to the garage or the front door. You can install motion sensors that know when your car pulls up into the driveway and will then immediately light the way for you.

Or alternatively, photo sensors can tell when the sun has set, and will adjust the lighting accordingly so that you always have a bright path to make your way up safely.

There will be no need to fumble for your keys or to scramble to turn on your smartphone flashlight in the dark, only to stumble and trip as you arrive home – you’ll instead be able to see clearly and safely during the night.

Add Extra Security Features

Going back to how a poorly lit home looks “uninviting” – it can also look vacant and vulnerable to burglars. A seemingly empty home is their prime target.

Your lighting control can help keep those robbers and thieves away!  Now you can maintain a well-lit front exterior that gives the appearance of an occupied home.

Set up your lights to turn on at set times while you’re away, including having your patio or pool lights turn on and off sporadically. This will mimic your regular motions throughout the evening and night, making your home appear lived-in and occupied.

You can also link your lights to the security system so that if motion sensors detect an unwanted guest lurking nearby, your lights will then flood the area and scare the intruder away.
