Landscape lighting without experts

Adding lighting to your landscaping is like adding jewelry to your home's exterior. Pathway lights illuminate your sidewalk to welcome your guests. Spotlights aimed up at the canopy of a tree will showcase its beauty. And lights placed inside your planting beds set the mood and reveal beautiful colors after dark. Plus, a well-lit house is a deterrent to thieves.

Landscape lights come in a variety of shapes and sizes. Most path lights spike into the ground and have a top hat that directs the lighting downward. Innovation has brought new path lights that are actual paver bricks that illuminate at night. Spotlights are adjustable to aim up at a tree or the side of your house. There are also spotlights disguised to look like a rock from the back side.
