A well-lit garden brightens your outside space, creating a peaceful and pleasant ambience after dark. The correct landscape lighting may emphasize important features, provide depth, and increase safety. Whether you want to highlight plants, paths, or water features, here are a few ways our team at Outdoors Well Lit uses landscape lighting to make garden spaces come alive.

Landscape Lighting Ideas to Highlight Garden Features

  • Uplighting: Uplighting is the process of illuminating trees, shrubs, and tall plants from the ground up. This approach casts dramatic shadows and adds depth to your landscape. The type of lighting we use can provide a natural glow or something more artistic.
  • Pathway and Walkway Lighting: Soft, low-level pathway lights guide guests through your garden space. We can create a custom plan that improves safety while maintaining a welcoming atmosphere.
  • Water Feature Lighting: Water features such as ponds, fountains, and waterfalls become magical at night with the proper landscape lighting. We can place lighting around the feature to highlight reflections and movement.
  • Accent Lighting for Garden Structures: Accent lighting is useful for highlighting pergolas, trellises, statuary, and beautiful planters. We can meet with you to see what features you want to highlight, as well as offer suggestions if you’re unsure.
  • Deck Lighting: Deck lights placed in steps or railings can provide discreet illumination in outdoor seating spaces, while lanterns give warmth and make your garden appear more inviting. Also, dimmable lighting allows you to change the brightness levels based on the mood.
