Landscape lighting design: Worth every penny?

Landscape lighting design: Worth every penny?

By Mike Gambino

There’s certainly no question that landscape lighting budgets can range from shoestring to extravagant.  Do you think it deserves a prominent place in the landscape budget?

There are certainly a number of landscape lighting designers who will tell you it does. After all, lighting has a significant effect on one of the most important things on the property: the ambiance.

If it’s not illumination for visibility; it’s illumination for atmosphere.

A small job has a budget of $5,000. However, when you consider how much lighting design enhances every single element in the landscape, that money is very cost-effective.

If you spend $25,000 on landscaping, and $10,000 on lighting, it may look like you spent $75,000 on landscaping.

What do you think: Worth every penny or an unnecessary expense?
