A Home That Glows With Ottawa Landscape Lighting

You've seen those wonderful photos before; the ones filled with homes that are handsome enough in the daylight, contrasted with spectacular night-time shots of the same home stunningly illuminated against a backdrop of darkness. Or perhaps you've seen similarly lit homes in the movies and thought to yourself, "There's no way my house could ever look that good." Well, you know what? Yes, it could. You spend so much time and care making your home a model of pride, why would you only show it off during the day?
The truth is that you don't have to own a magnificent country house in the Gatineaus or a mansion in Rockcliffe Park for Ottawa landscape lighting to be an attractive investment in your home. And you don't have to be building a new home or undertaking a major landscape renovation for the installation of an outdoor lighting system.

All you need is a bit of inspiration, a designer with an artistic eye for maximum aesthetic effect and an industry-leading installer--all of which our team at Landscape Lighting from Nutri-Lawn can provide. Showcasing your pride of ownership is only one of a number of benefits that a professionally-designed lighting system will achieve, and you don't have to have a mansion-sized budget.

Safe, Sound, and Secure
Outdoor lighting around pathways, driveways, decks and steps makes it safe for your family and guests to move around at night. What more Ottawa landscape lighting clients are realizing is that it is also a proactive form of securing your home against intrusion or vandalism. While a good alarm system alerts you to these unfortunate circumstances, a properly lit home can make someone think twice before even attempting harm.

Living On the Outside
Ottawa homeowners spend a lot of time outdoors in the warmer weather for one main reason: cabin fever after really long, cold winters. Imagine your property divided into pavilions of light, demarcated by soft virtual walls, where you and your guests can enjoy the summer nights. And even in winter, Ottawa landscape lighting can bring the most attractive features of your property to the inside, allowing you to enjoy them as living art.

Good for the Environment and Your Wallet
A professionally-installed, low-wattage LED lighting system can approach 80% efficiency compared to standard incandescent equipment, which reduces energy usage and saves substantially on your annual utility bill. Add the fact that the average LED light has a useful life of 50,000 hours, far greater than standard outdoor lighting, and the added savings becomes clear as day (or night.)

The Bottom Line is Added Value
Ottawa landscape lighting is about more than shining a bright spot on your home. Think back to those photos. The subtle beauty of an artful lighting design makes a home stand out in the neighbourhood, encourages great first impressions, produces that "wow factor" and makes it memorable. All of these things--all of the benefits mentioned here--add up to great curb-appeal: that thing that real estate agents are always talking about. A well-designed system is impactful because it adds depth and dimension to the best aspects of your home. And boundary lighting around the perimeter of your property can expand the perception of size in a way that trees or shrubs simply can't. These things create a home that stands out with increased value, whether you're thinking about selling it or not.

Our staff can help you realize the benefits that landscape lighting can bring to your home, and offer a free at-home consultation to show you how.
