Outdoor lighting is a basic part of any landscaping. However very few property owners pay special attention to it; they don’t make any special effort to get anything more than a few floodlights installed on their property. However, lighting is much more than that and it takes training, knowledge and creativity to know how a landscape should be illuminated.

Outdoor Lighting - Different Spaces That Can Be Lit

The different types of areas they will help illuminate are:

• Driveways & Walkways - Poorly lit driveways or paths can be very risky. These spaces have to be lit well as it’s important that people see where they are walking or driving.
  
  
• Garden Steps/Deck Steps - It’s important to have some sort of lighting for steps that lead into another part of the garden or yard. The lighting could be recessed in the walls on the side, at the step level.
  
  
• Trees and Well-Formed Boulders - Many properties have beautifully structured trees & boulders and adding a certain amount of lighting effects to these, is a great way to add drama to the landscaping.
  
  
• Decks and Patios - These spaces are the relaxation zones on your property. And if you want to be able to use them optimally, even after dark, it’s important that they be illuminated well. You can have energy-efficient LED lighting in the colors and hues you want and will add dimmers too; that helps you control the effect in the space.
  
  
• Water Features - Water features like ponds, fountains and waterfalls offer great opportunities to create a stunning effect on your property. You can train lights on them or use underwater lighting to create the effect you want.

The professionals you hire for the job will provide you with a detailed exterior lighting plan, based on the features that exist on your property, as well as your personal preferences.
