Outdoor living shouldn’t be limited to daylight hours, especially in the summer. If you’re investing in bringing your dream backyard to life, you want to be able to enjoy it any time of day—or night. By including lighting as an essential part of your landscaping, you not only make that possible, but you can also add detail and beauty to your outdoor space. Read on as we discuss how to incorporate lighting into your landscape design.
Make a Statement
Bollard® light stands are the perfect way to make your lighting one of the stand-out features of your landscape design, incorporating materials or styles to accent your space. Bright LED lights provide ambiance and just the right amount of illumination for a late-night stroll through the garden or a conversation on the patio.
Accent Your Space with Recessed Lighting
By integrating recessed LED lights into your outdoor landscaping, you can draw the eye to your favorite elements—be those trees, walkways, or water features—turning a dark night into a magical outdoor space.
Go linear
With LED strip lighting, you can make your stairways safe while adding a unique design element to your landscape design. These strips can also be used below overhangs around your deck or patio railings for a subtle, low-profile option.
Add a Pop of Color
Control the ambiance of your outdoor space through color-changing lights. Perfect for pools or walkways, you can set the mood with warm oranges and yellows for an intimate family gathering or choose cooler blues, greens, and purples for a special event.
The Power is In Your Hands
Many outdoor lighting options can be controlled remotely with an app on your smartphone, allowing you to save on your energy bill by making sure only the lights you need are in use.
