You’ve been looking at the stylish designs of your neighbors’ yards and feeling the need to add some style to your own property. One way to take your Rye, NY, property to a whole new level is through the strategic use of outdoor lighting. With the right landscaping and outdoor lighting on your property, your home can become a welcome topic of conversation in the neighborhood. Here are some outdoor lighting ideas to consider with your landscape contractor.

Walkway Lighting

Walkway lighting is a multipurpose type of illumination. First, when you add walkway lighting to your property, you can help ensure guests and family members get to your front door and around your property safely. It also lets them know where the walkway ends on the sides. Also, by adding walkway lighting to your property, you’re creating a lovely glowing visual. This type of lighting looks nice whether you’re moving along the path or viewing it from the street. In addition, your walkway lights can complement the lights on your home and other illuminating features around your property.

Step Lighting

One way to achieve safer navigation of your landscape and to create vertical interest through outdoor lighting is by including lighting with any of your outdoor stairs. Consider stairs that will be leading to your front door or that create a path between your pool deck and the paver patio by your backdoor.

Elevated Lighting Fixtures

It’s not just ground level lighting that will take your property aesthetics to new heights. You can have a landscape contractor add elevated lighting fixtures on your property. With this type of outdoor lighting, you can illuminate your backyard patio by adding these fixtures to retaining walls. You can also bring light to your outdoor kitchen by including some elevated light fixtures in this area of your outdoor space as well. You can choose from many different light fixture styles, ranging from classic style lights to ones with a more ornate look.

Water Feature Lighting

If you have water features on your property, you may want to make sure these lovely outdoor features can be appreciated any time of day. Illuminate your water fountain with spotlights or show off your backyard pond by adding perfectly positioned outdoor lights to the area. Your landscape contractor can offer suggestions as to what types of lighting will bring out the best visual attributes of these water features.

Garden Lighting

If you have beautiful garden areas on your property, you could show off these locations whenever possible, including at nighttime. Garden lighting comes in various forms: You can add lighting fixtures spaced evenly throughout the garden for general illumination or have the landscape contractor create ambience and lovely visions by strategically placing a spotlight so it illuminates your favorite flowering tree. There are many ways to take your garden lighting so that it brings out the true beauty of your garden blooms. Enjoying the outdoors, including the lovely visions of your garden, with your friends and family members has never been easier now that you can do so regardless of the time of day.
