Outdoor lighting can add a dramatic effect to a home.

Outdoor lighting is an ideal low-impact way of visually setting your home apart from other houses in your neighbourhood.

Easy to install and featuring low-energy LED lights, creative lighting around your home and garden can not only improve the look of the building and landscaping, it can also provide a pleasing way of enjoying your property for many more hours of the day.

Rick Schoene of Kelowna’s Sweet Yards Landscaping says with advances in lighting technology, homeowners can get very creative with the look of their home with outdoor lighting, even going so far as to have the lights change colour depending on the season, holiday or a special event.

“Nowadays, you can even program it right on your phone,” says Schoene.

Sweet Yard’s Landscaping services the entire Okanagan – from Osoyoos to Revelstoke – and is an expert in outdoor home lighting installation.

With lighting costs coming down, it is also a great time to look at lighting options for your home.

Still a popular outdoor trend for home improvement, lighting can bring a property to life.

“Lighting itself makes your whole yard stand out,” Schoene says. “We can do that anytime, because adding lighting, we don’t disrupt anything. We dig a tiny trench just to lay wire but it adds so much more to your whole scape. Lighting up trees with spotlights or pathway lights, it’s pretty cool.”

In addition to lighting, Sweet Yards also offers a comprehensive array of landscaping services, including construction, hard landscaping, from retaining walls to intricate walkways, irrigation systems, maintenance, fencing and lawn care.
