Property value is measured beyond an actual dollar amount. The appeal of a property and its ability to draw many people are of the utmost importance to any and all property owners. One very important way to increase this appeal is to highlight the best aspects of the property’s exterior. The appearance of a property from the outside at night can make a significant difference. Here are some suggestions for maximizing the benefits of your landscape lighting design.
Show Off the Entrance
The entrance of a property is a huge selling point. Property owners want to make sure the front door is highlighted as a focal point. Ensuring that it is well-lit and features a doorway can give the property a real wow factor. Beyond the great presentation, a lit entryway is also less likely to be burglarized and therefore much more secure.
Highlight Walkways
Walking paths leading to a door or around the side of a home or other property are also opportunities for additional lighting. There are several walkway lighting options available to highlight this area specifically. It also adds a level of depth to the overall light concept, featuring all these extras in the landscape design.
Showcase the Hedges
If you’re going to showcase the hedges or other landscaped areas around the building itself, ensure that they’re kept manicured and looking their best. Clean lines and attention to detail in this area can be a real showcase for any property, so providing additional lighting is crucial for adding value.
As always, strategic planning with a landscape professional is the best way to optimize your budget and maximize value. Exterior lighting is a top priority for buyers, so having the right concept is important.
