Brighten Your Patio Area
When you add outdoor lighting to your paver patio area, you can enjoy this space more often. Your backyard patio is an ideal spot to sit and relax in the morning with a cup of coffee or enjoy the fresh outdoor air as you work from home. However, this outdoor space is also an excellent spot at nighttime if you have the right lighting in place. You can have perimeter lighting added to your patio area. If you like lights to be higher off the ground, some lovely and useful lampposts can be added to the border of the patio. Garden area lighting surrounding your patio can provide additional illumination as well.
Illuminate Your Outdoor Pool
If you have an outdoor pool, expand your swim time by adding outdoor lighting to this area. Create ambience by adding subtle lighting in surrounding gardens or add more vibrant outdoor lighting with light fixtures surrounding the pool. If there’s a paver patio surrounding your pool or you’re currently adding one on, ask the landscape contractor to embed outdoor lights into the pavers for lighting throughout your pool patio.
Put the Spotlight on Your Yard
For families who like to play outdoor sports in the backyard, such as volleyball or baseball, and need overall lighting, add spotlight fixtures to the surrounding area. Your landscape contractor can attach spotlights to the side of your home or at the top of your pool gazebo to direct light onto your lawn for a wide range of lighting. This type of outdoor lighting option enables your family to enjoy the backyard space, even when it’s dark outside.
Add Outdoor Lighting to Walkways
Move about your property with ease by adding outdoor lighting to the walkways throughout your property. You could ask the landscaping contractor to add lighting to walkways leading from your driveway to your front door and from your back door to your pool patio or pergola that’s set away from the home. Walkway lights can be added to both sides of the path or located on one side in a garden area that runs along the walkway. You can even have outdoor lighting added to any stairways on the property to create a unique, eye-catching detail in your outdoor space.
Add Lights to Retaining Walls
If you have retaining walls surrounding your patio or providing privacy at your pool, you can make this structure even more useful by adding outdoor lights to the top of it. You may even have a retaining wall spanning the length of your property line and adding lights to this wall will help outline where your property ends and your neighbor’s property begins. You can have outdoor lights added all the way along the retaining wall or placed on the ends of the wall for subtle lighting.
