Lighting can make a marked difference in the beauty and safety of your property at night. The soft glow of outdoor lights can accentuate your home’s best features and help create a cozy atmosphere that you can enjoy long after the sun goes down.
Our team at Laurdane Associates knows that there are many outdoor lighting options to consider for your yard. In this blog, we’ll go over a few popular choices to help you decide which lighting solutions may be right for your unique property.
- Path Lighting – Pavers and beautifully constructed pathways not only improve navigation and accessibility in your yard but also enhance its appearance. Path lights can illuminate these walkways to ensure that you and your loved ones can get around safely.
- Accent Lighting – You’ve likely invested a lot of time, energy, and money into creating a beautiful yard, and accent lighting can make these features shine. You can use accent lighting to spotlight trees, statues, fountains, architectural features, and other areas of your landscape.
- Up Lighting – Up lighting refers to lights that are installed low to the ground so that the light can shine up at an object. Frequently, people use uplighting to enhance the beauty of their trees at night.
- Down Lighting – Down lighting is the opposite of up lighting. It refers to lights that are installed from a high point to shine down on objects. It’s great for highlighting water features, landscape beds, and more.
- LED Lighting – We recommend LED lighting because it’s much more energy efficient and cost-effective compared to other types of lights. Just remember to choose LED lights that are clearly rated for outdoor use.
