With material costs rising for home improvements today, it’s comforting to know that outdoor lighting is still a terrific buy.
Is Outdoor Lighting A Good Investment?
According to the experts at HGTV, the answer is “Yes” to whether adding outdoor lighting is a good investment in this economy. Listed as a “Maximum Home Value Outdoor Living Project,” outdoor lighting and landscape lighting designs are more than well worth it.
“Highlighting your home’s different angles, transforming your gardens and pathways into beautiful landscaped creations, or creatively accenting a deck or patio for entertaining, outdoor lighting boosts curb appeal and home value while also being the most cost effective outdoor living project for homeowners,” according to HGTV.
Which Areas Are Best To Light At My Nashville Property?
Our best advice is to think of your home exterior as a blank canvas, ready to be transformed into an illuminated showplace.
HGTV continues, “For those who are willing to spend more for a detailed and extravagant lighting project, hire a professional who can custom-create a lighting plan built around your home’s unique features and landscaping design. Implementing a pro’s plan can be heavier on the pocketbook than do-it-yourself lighting, but the quality and style will not go unnoticed.”
And the best professional outdoor lighting source in Nashville is Outdoor Lighting Perspectives.

Pathway Lighting: One very important element of landscape lighting is path lighting. First, it serves a very functional need of safe travel down the path at night. Secondly, the path lighting might not have the cover of nearby landscaping.

Our custom designed pathway lighting and driveway lighting help ensure safety and security in the darker evening hours.

Outdoor Sphere Globe Lighting: Add a whimsical feel to your backyard by highlighting your landscaping, trees, and outdoor spaces at night in a unique way. Our new outdoor sphere lights are an ideal and unique lighting solution perfect for adorning trees, walkways, and more. Also known as orb lights or outdoor globe lights, our outdoor sphere lights are illuminated orbs that add a subtle, whimsical glow to landscapes. Coming in a variety of different sizes, outdoor sphere lights are the perfect combination of useful light and backyard decoration. Made of sturdy steel and LED bulbs, outdoor globe lights can withstand the elements, making them a great solution for hanging from trees. This is the most common application of outdoor orb lights and for good reason! Hanging light spheres add character and an organic feel to your backyard trees. They are excellent decorations for outdoor gatherings and events but are also perfect for year-round usage.
Another application is on-ground outdoor orb lights. Adding a modern touch to your walkways and outdoor spaces has never been easier than with outdoor sphere lights. Securely attached to the ground, on-ground outdoor sphere lights subtlety illuminates your pathways to perfection.
