October 5, 2016

Although the days are getting shorter and the leaves are slowly falling, there’s one way you can brighten up the exterior of your home this fall and winter season – landscape lighting by Memphis Landscape!


Landscape lighting has been growing in popularity for some time. It impacts the safety, security, and appearance of your home. Not only that, homes with landscape lighting display the amenities of your yard while also potentially increasing the overall market value of your property.

Landscape lighting has been growing in popularity for some time. It impacts the safety, security, and appearance of your home. Not only that, homes with landscape lighting display the amenities of your yard while also potentially increasing the overall market value of your property.

1.  Improving the appearance of your home and property

Adding professional landscape lighting definitely increases the curb appeal of your home. Soft lighting in a dark outdoor environment can be magical, with a warm, inviting glow. It can create mood, romance, and drama, and interest to any setting.

Show off recent home improvements with effectively-placed lighting! Or, if you’re selling your house and haven’t had much luck, highlighting both the interior and exterior of your property can be attractive to potential buyers.

In fact, a growing number of homeowners are “nightscaping”, a hot trend in outdoor home improvement that capitalizes on this magical lighting. Lighting really can be one of the most important aspects of landscaping, even though it’s often overlooked or underdone.

2. Increased Safety and Functionality

Your walkway serves a purpose at all times of day, even after the sun sets. Landscape lighting can help prevent common accidents that are easily avoidable, like tripping over a poorly lit path. Adequate lighting also provides additional safety for anyone entering the home after dark.

For pool owners, installing lights around your swimming pool is an added safety precaution that’s definitely worth taking.

3. Added Home Security

According to data from a recent FBI Crime Report, a burglary occurs in the United States every 15 seconds. Although a good home security system is generally the first line of defense in preventing home intrusions, landscape lighting can discourage intruders from even approaching your property. Not many burglars want to be identified trespassing on your well-lit property!

If you’re looking for additional ways to deter unwanted guests from trying to enter your home, assess the areas around your house that could potentially be vulnerable to intruders. Contact Memphis Landscape today to speak with our experienced team about your options.

With spring upon us, it is time to start thinking about how to prep your lawn and get your landscaping in shape for summer. There is lots to do, but with proper planning, timing and maintenance, Memphis Landscape can help you can create a beautiful and attractive environment for your home or business. Before we get started on any other outdoor projects, there is some spring cleaning that will make this year’s lawn care and landscaping maintenance go far more smoothly. Regular landscape maintenance is a big job that requires consistent attention. Once all of the plants starts to grow and the critters and pests return, just getting started on this year’s landscaping plans becomes very labor intensive. Preparing for the warmer months now can effectively eliminate many of the lawn care and landscaping problems that might pose a challenge over the course of the year.

In the dead of winter it may have seemed like the cold days would never end, but now the warmer temperatures will be here sooner than we think. Green shoots will begin sprouting from the ground and buds will start forming on branches. The transition from winter to spring is a welcome change of seasons. As we wait for spring’s arrival, we can help give your landscape a head start. Sometimes it is easy to forget about landscaping maintenance during the winter months. The grass and weeds are not growing like they do in the spring and summer, and your property might be covered in snow during this time. While you might be tempted to just ignore your landscaping, and wait until spring arrives to deal with it then, that would be a mistake. You do not want your landscaping to fall too far behind. So call us at Memphis Landscape and we will get your lawn and landscape ready for spring and summer! We have compiled this list of necessary tasks for a successful growing season.

Two techniques used when taking care of gardens and landscape are pruning and trimming. Trimming usually applies to maintaining small shrubs or hedges, while horticulturists use pruning for trees and shrubs. While the terms can be used interchangeably, they utilize different types of equipment and have different times for implementation. The end result of trimming and pruning are healthy and aesthetically appealing trees, shrubs and hedges. Memphis Landscape has the knowledge and know how to help you keep your yard and treelines looking great!
