Lights installed in the stair risers of a deck are a beautiful and functional landscape lighting idea that will help ensure safety and that no one trips. Whether your mother wants to have a get-together with her friends or just walk down to the yard to cut some herbs from her garden after dusk, with stair riser lights, she will be able to see each step, and they also add a warm and inviting glow from the yard.
Does your mother have a garden area or outdoor art display that she would enjoy having highlighted, but wouldn’t want outdoor lighting ruining her natural aesthetic? We have the perfect solution; well lights, well lights are inserted into the ground so that all you see from afar is a spotlight illuminating from the ground. This keeps a clean yard while also displaying her hard work.
If your mother has a pond or other water feature in her yard, consider having a trained electrician install outdoor lighting around the element so that she can enjoy it every time she looks outside her window. There are even lights that can be submerged so that the glow comes from beneath the water. Other landscape lighting ideas for around the pool include unsubmerged downlights and cross lights.
Are there tall trees in your mother’s yard? Moon lighting is one of the many outdoor lighting strategies that will draw the eye up, highlighting an area that might otherwise go unnoticed or could even cast a gloomy tone during the night. Give us a call, and we’ll walk you through this process if you have some tall trees you’d like to highlight.
The cross lighting technique is achieved by placing lights in which the direction of separate lights will cross each other. This is a practical application that you will love because it adds dimension to an otherwise dark outdoor space.
Like lights in a pond, lights in a pool can be a great addition if your space has an outdoor in-ground pool. They can be installed in the walls of the pool, giving the area an inviting glow that encourages people to take a dip even after the sun sets. If that project is more than you would like to take on, other landscape lighting ideas for pools involve placing lighting around a pool area that doesn’t require cutting into the cement of the pool. Strategically-placed light on the pool deck can also add a pop. Overhead glow near a pool house will also spill onto the pool area.
If your mother has a garden or patio wall, plenty of landscape lighting ideas involve adding some lights set into rock or wood. These lights will add interest to any space. It also serves as a way to help her quickly find the patio table or her plants that may need watering even after it is dark.
There are so many landscape lighting ideas around that the real question is, which ones would you choose? In general, the best designs involve the use of many soft lights as opposed to just a few brighter, harsher lights. This technique will give the outdoor lighting a soft and inviting glow. Also, when you are considering giving the gift of outdoor lighting, make sure that you have a pretty solid vision of what you envision for your specific space.
