Deck Lighting
We have installed custom lighting solutions for all deck designs and types:
- Attached
- Detached/island
- Wraparound
- Multi-level
- Wooden
- Composite
- And more
Whether you have a set goal in mind or you’re looking for deck lighting ideas, we can help. Here are just a few deck ideas to jog your imagination:
-
Deck stair lights - Having your deck steps lit increases safety after dark and gives the stairway a subtle illumination.
-
Recessed deck lights - This works best for decks that have some overhead protection so that the lights don’t require constant cleaning and maintenance.
-
Under rail deck lighting - Lights placed under the rail of your deck will give the space a soft glow.
We provide LED lights that withstand the elements and require minimal upkeep.
Patio Lighting
Patios come in a large variety of materials and designs, and we can work with all of them:
- Concrete
- Vinyl
- Wood
- Raised
- Multi-level
- Stone
- Mixed with landscaping
- And more
There are several different lighting options we can provide. From the lights themselves to the placement, you will be able to select precisely what you’re looking for. We provide sphere lights, color-changing lighting, string lights, and many more LED options. We can even help you generate patio lighting ideas if you are unsure of where to start.
Hardscape Lighting
Hardscapes are the landscape architecture features you have near your patio or elsewhere on your outdoor property. Hardscape lighting takes a little extra consideration because of the challenges of installing lights on a hard and often fragile surface. The wrong moves can cause chipping or crumbling. Our experts will make sure the integrity of your property is preserved.
Landscape Lighting/Garden Lighting
Placing plants like shrubs, trees, or flowers around your patio is a popular aesthetic choice. Highlighting these plants with light can serve a couple of different purposes:
- Illuminating the border of your patio for safety
- Allowing you and your guests to appreciate your plants’ beauty at night
Many people ask if it is harmful for plants to be exposed to light at night. The answer is that it can be, but not if the lighting installation is done properly. We use lights that don’t overheat and don’t overstimulate surrounding vegetation, even with the light shining toward it, so this won’t be something you will have to worry about.
Uplighting
Uplighting is a popular, easy way to create dramatic effects in your yard. As the name suggests, it is a type of lighting which shines upward, from the ground. It is commonly used to accent trees.
Downlighting/Moonlighting
Downlighting is the traditional way of installing light fixtures, from above. When used outdoors at night, it can create a soft effect like that of moonlight.
Cafe Lighting/String Lighting
String lighting is beautiful during the holidays, but it isn’t just restricted to the winter months. You can enjoy string lighting all year round when you choose a timeless style for your patio.
