Check With Your HOA

Do you have an HOA? Before you commit to any landscape lighting, you should definitely check with your HOA to make sure you’re aware of lighting codes. Neighborhoods with HOA regulations almost always have rules for outdoor lighting. This is also a good reason to work with a professional landscaper as they'll be able to help you make great choices that stay within code.

Consider Future Maintenance

An important factor to consider is always future maintenance. How much time and money will go into keeping up the landscaping and landscape lighting that you choose? According to Thimble, 32% of landscaping companies report that landscape maintenance is their fastest-growing service. As it turns out, lots of property owners are discovering the value of quality curbside care. If you need easy maintenance options, be sure to tell your landscaper this during the design process. They can help you choose elements that won't be a bother.
