According to the National Association of REALTORS® (NAR) landscape lighting installation is one of the top 10 outdoor remodeling projects to prioritize for resale. Along with aesthetic and functional benefits, landscape lighting is a great way to improve the look of your home at night when many shoppers are off work to visit properties in their real estate search. Beyond curb appeal, the primary benefits of landscape lighting are increased safety, security, energy efficiency, and enhanced use of the outdoors during evening hours.
Unfortunately, no. Solar landscape lights are infamously unreliable and often homeowners replace them. The lowdown is they tend to emit less light over time and do not last very long (less than a year). You can put in a low-voltage wired series of lights that use one large solar panel for power, rather than the electrical grid. These low-voltage lights powered by a solar panel tend to last longer, but are still not as effective as LED lights. LED lighting systems are the best low-voltage solution for much brighter, more durable, and long lasting landscape lighting. LED lights work in any setting without the need for direct sunlight, which is required for energizing solar lights.
The national average cost for landscape lighting in 2024 is $3500, ranging from $2100 to $4900. Every project is unique and depends on the size of the property, number of lights, cost of materials, installation, and labor. More elaborate landscape lighting systems can cost between $7000 and $10000.
There is no one-size-fits-all answer to this question, as the cost of landscape lighting can vary greatly depending on a number of factors. The size and layout of your landscaping, the type of lights you choose, the complexity of the installation, and the location all play a role in determining the final cost.
