Types of Landscape Lighting:
- String lights – These lights can be hung from roof eaves, across a deck, from trees, along walls, and from posts to create a delicate look that brightens your landscape atmosphere, creating an inviting space.
- LED lights – These are energy-efficient solutions that are cost-effective and can deliver extended use, with various styles available.
- Wall lights - These lights provide a soft, blanket of light which will gently and evenly wash over the outside walls of your home. They can be used for accent purposes or more practical needs such as safety or security.
- Floodlights – These are typically used to illuminate larger areas or to provide general illumination to an outdoor area
- Spotlights – These are often used to highlight specific features in a yard or garden, such as sculptures or trees.
- Up-lights – These are used to illuminate the environment from below, often creating a dramatic effect.
- Downlights – These illuminate the outdoor space from above, creating a more subtle effect.
Not only can we assist with the above types of landscape lighting, but we are also equipped to install motion activated lights to further enhance the security and safety of our property.

What to Consider When Installing Landscape Lighting
There are various aspects to keep in consideration when installing outdoor lights, primarily the placement of the lights and what landscape elements or other outdoor features you'd like to highlight. Different types of lights have different efficacies - some provide strong illumination while others exude soft lighting that adds grace to home's exterior look.
Where to Place Landscape Lighting?
- Pathways. Pathway lighting serves two purposes: it illuminates the pathway itself so that people can see where they are going for safety purposes, and it also highlights the surrounding landscape. Pathway lighting is typically installed in a line along the edge of the pathway.
- Steps. Step lighting not only makes it easier to see the steps, but it also adds a bit of safety as people will be less likely to trip and fall. Step lighting is typically installed on the risers of the steps.
- Gardens. Installing landscape lighting within a garden can highlight specific features, such as sculptures or water features. They can also be used to create a more romantic atmosphere in the garden. These can be placed throughout the garden, along the base of certain plants or features, or along the border of the garden.
- Driveways. Placing lighting along driveways assists people walking up or down the driveway, while also providing light for people who are driving onto the property, thus enhancing the safety of your home. This lighting is typically installed in a line along the edge of the driveway
- Decks & Patios. Deck lights provide illumination for outdoor dining or seating areas on the deck or patio, as well as provide ambiance for evening get-togethers. They are typically installed along the railings, under the eaves of the roof, on posts, and in the corners of the deck.
- Trees & Shrubs. Placing lighting within trees and shrubs provides a unique look for your property and can be used to accent certain features. Tree lights can be placed either on the trunk or on branches, and they should be spaced evenly apart to prevent over-illumination.
Professional Concord landscape lighting installation is most beneficial when it comes to making sure your outdoor space looks amazing all year round with efficient performance of the lights.
