Where to Place Landscape Lighting to Enhance Your Property

It is important to light your surrounding landscapes and hardscapes for safety, entertaining, and aesthetic purposes. Although you may be tempted to light up your entire yard for the best visibility, this strategy is ultimately expensive and washes out the space. Strategically illuminating specific features such as walls, ponds, and trees will help create an attractive space for hosting. Outdoor lights also have a functional component, as landscape path lighting and other strategies will make your yard easier to navigate and welcome guests to your home.
