When you build or move into a home, it is often the decorative elements you are most excited to spend time on. While these detailed decisions are what homeowners look forward to, other decisions are made for practical reasons while still including an aesthetic element.
Outdoor lighting is an extremely important process to look into when building or buying a home. A house without outdoor lighting is not only unsafe, but it also can make a home look dark, scary, and un-lived in. Outdoor lighting is needed in several different spots of a property, both mounted on the house as well as surrounding the entire yard. With this in mind, the team at Dream Yards Sprinkler Management takes the time to create an outdoor lighting plan for your home to ensure your home's exterior is bright and beautiful.
In addition to our residential lighting, we also provide a wide range of outdoor commercial lighting to help enhance the exterior of businesses throughout San Antonio, TX.

When first purchasing a home, the outdoor lighting may not be the first project you want to dive into. However, outdoor lighting is one of the most important elements to include on your property. Outdoor lighting can highlight the prime elements of your landscape design, and provides you and your family with much needed security.
Some reasons to incorporate outdoor lighting on and around your home include the following:
● Curb Appeal - Have you ever driven past a home with all of the lights (inside & outside) off? If you have, you'd probably say the house looked uninviting, dreary, and even a little frightening. Adding outdoor lighting can really improve the look of your home to visitors and neighbors driving by. At Dream Yards Sprinkler Management, we study the structure of your home, and help you decide which placements for lights will best frame each element.
● Safety - Dark and unlit houses often give off the feeling of vacancy. For many, when they think of a residence without proper lighting their minds jump to the idea of no one being home and turning off all lights to save money on the electric bill. By having an improperly lit home, you subject yourself to possible trespassing or break-ins that can put you and your loved ones at risk. Having outdoor lighting and motion sensored flood lights at all hours can drastically reduce the risk of intruders attempting to enter your home.
● Convenience - Outdoor lighting can often make your life around your house easier and more time efficient. Outdoor lighting lining your driveway and walkways can help you navigate when pulling in your car, or entering your home.
●
Entertainment - Outdoor lighting is a staple if you enjoy entertaining your friends and family. Different types of lighting can create different moods. Therefore, you have a wide selection when deciding what elements you would like to include in your space.
With several design companies constantly updating their collections of interior and exterior home elements, you are sure to be able to find outdoor lighting fixtures that match the style of your home. Many designers provide complete collections with different types of outdoor lighting. That way you can fully complete the necessary steps to improve the exterior of your home, with matching essentials.
The following are some of the outdoor lighting fixtures we believe can benefit the exterior of any San Antonio, TX home:
● Spotlights ● Flood Lights ● Up and Down Lights ● Step Lights ● Garden Lights ● Bollard Lights ● String Lights
While you may be tempted to install outdoor lighting on your own, we advise against it for a several reasons. For example, it is safer to have a professional install your outdoor lighting. If you have to climb a ladder to install lights, you are putting yourself at risk. Likewise if you are using tools to install lights, you can be harmed. Avoid the danger and give us a call.
Additionally, it is cheaper to rely on the professionals. Sadly, a lot of the outdoor lights that are sold will break after a couple of weeks or never will be bright enough. Some lights will dim until they cannot be seen. Other lights may chip and break if an animal pushes them, the rain disturbs them, or the wind blows them just right. The most cost-effective way to ensure your lights last is to rely on the professionals to install outdoor lights. We know what products are designed to last. We can see past the marketing ploys and find something that will actually work on your home. Instead of purchasing different sets of lights until you find the set that works, contact our professionals at Dream Yards Sprinkler Management in San Antonio, Texas.
