Landscape lighting

By Metro Creative

Landscape lighting has become increasingly popular in recent years. Such lighting can extend living spaces, and many homeowners report that a well-lit landscape helps them feel more safe at home.

Though the final cost to light up a home’s exterior will depend on the size of a property, landscape lighting is among the more budget-friendly home renovations homeowners can consider. According to the renovation experts at Angi.com, the average cost of a landscape lighting project is $4,000. Considering how much landscape lighting transforms the look of a property at night, that’s a lot of bang for homeowners’ bucks.

Solar lights are popular, but homeowners may want to consider electrical wiring that ensures lights maintain their awe-inspiring glow throughout the night. Electrical work requires additional labor, and thus a higher price tag. However, Angi notes that modern LED bulbs consume just 25% of the energy used by incandescent alternatives, which can make them a more reliable option than self-installed solar lights.
