5 Reasons to Add Solar Lighting To Your Garden

Adding lighting is a great way to improve your garden’s ambience. Solar lights are an excellent alternative to traditional lighting.

One: Renewable Source of Light

The beauty of Solar power is that it’s a renewable form of light and energy. There is no reason to worry about running out of light as the sun will always rise. I have never really understood the benefits of solar until I recently installed solar panels on our home and now I can see the energy our house creates and how it’s used. It’s eye opening.

Two: Ease of Installation

Often garden lighting is an afterthought as most of us aren’t always building gardens from scratch so the thought of running cables and installation of plugs is not only costly but also overwhelming. 

That’s why I love solar, you can install at any time and replace and move them with ease and you can absolutely do it yourself.

Three: Money Saving

Regardless of the types of lights you buy, there will always be costs upfront unless you get your lights for free, however, once installed solar is the light source that keeps on giving.

You can light up your entire garden with peace of mind that it won’t break the bank, so long as the sun comes up and our have your panel in a good location, then you’re

The best part is you can install them yourselves, no electrician or chords required. And you know we love a good DIY!

Four: Security 

Although lighting up your yard is beautiful there’s also a practical benefit.

Adding path lighting and flower bed lighting keeps you gardens lit up even when you’re not home. This is a great way to keep your property safe and well lit. Lighting up paths and flower beds frames your home and helps with visibility at night without having to remember to add timers and turn lights on before you arrive home.

Five: Ambience 

We spend so much time and effort creating a beautiful interior, agonising over every detail. our exteriors need the same kind of love and lighting really helps to add to your curb appeal and motivates you to spend more evenings alfresco.

Add your lighting to your fence and pool area; front verandah; back decks; foot paths; there are so many ways to add value and beauty with lights.

Whatever you do for Valentines I hope you have a wonderful day x

Happy renovating
