Landscape lighting illuminates the trees, shrubs and flower beds under your care. Show off your hard work with path lights weaving across your garden. Floodlights and spotlights reveal trees and larger areas of your yard. Most landscape lights are available in low-voltage, solar and LED versions, helping you conserve energy while lighting areas far from power outlets.
Landscape Lighting
Outdoor lanterns add a welcoming glow and are extremely versatile. They’re available as post lights or hanging lights and feature many luxurious finishes. Mix different lantern sizes together and create a post-light centerpiece across from the dining table. Group smaller lanterns on a side table next to conversation chairs for more intimate lighting, and place larger lanterns from posts to mark pathways. Consider LED lanterns for reliable lighting that’s cool running and energy efficient.
Hanging lanterns are also timeless statement pieces. Save time and space by hanging a lantern from a shepherd’s hook. You can also hang lanterns from tree limbs, pergolas or gazebos. Make a lantern cluster in a tree, hanging several at various heights for an instant landscape transformation.
Fire pits create a lively centerpiece for entertaining any time of the year. When you place a few cozy patio chairs around a fire pit, you also create an additional seating area. A simple wood-burning fire pit is perfect for entertaining, but it’s not your only option. You can opt for an impressive stone fire pit fueled by propane and never worry about running out of wood. Keep the marshmallows, chocolate bars and graham crackers at hand because any season is a good season for s’mores if you have a private fire pit.
Plan Out Your Landscape Lighting Ideas
It’s always good to have a plan before making your backyard lighting ideas a reality. Think about the activities you enjoy and how you’d like to use your outdoor space. Outdoor lighting showcases what you’re proud of while providing useful glow. For a smaller area, create an intimate setting by grouping lanterns and candles. Add landscape lights around the patio and along any pathways leading to the house. For areas with daytime sunlight, consider solar outdoor lights, especially if you don’t have a lot of outdoor power outlets. Or look into low-voltage and LED options to reduce energy use. Deck or stair lights also create a warm pattern while providing safety.
If you have ample space, use lighting to define different parts of your yard. Outdoor string lights work great draped from a pergola or gazebo and create a lighthearted vibe. A fire pit provides warmth and a secondary place for guests to gather. Use spotlights or flood lights to illuminate trees and shrubs, putting the finishing touches on your retreat.
