You’ve finally decided it’s time for some landscaping updates—visions of a cozy seating area for family cookouts, some room for entertaining larger groups of friends and family, and maybe even a play area for the kids are dancing in your head. As you plan, make sure you consider how you and yours are getting from point A to point B. Outdoor pathway lighting is a crucial design element and shouldn’t be overlooked!
There are many landscape lighting design options on the market today. You can use traditional path torches, energy-efficient LED fixtures and solar fixtures, even solar lights that are embedded into pavers or bricks.
What you choose for pathway landscape lighting should fit with your total landscaping “look” – from the rest of your landscape lighting design to benches, walls and other hardscape features. If you’re outdoor areas have a classic look, your outdoor pathway lighting should reflect that, with traditional finishes and placements. Is your look more contemporary? Then consider colored LED lighting or path spotlights to illuminate and also highlight specific features. Are you somewhere in between? Maybe a more eclectic look is for you—you could try to mix and match your lighting features.
Consulting with a landscape lighting design professional will help you define and prioritize your wish list, take a look at the choices available to you, and get the lighting fixtures that are perfect for your spaces.
