If it’s made for versatility, chances are your Woodhaven and Flat Rock, MI, landscape offers multiple things to do during the day, from relaxing with a drink on the patio, to enjoying your herb garden, to gathering with friends by the pool. Don’t let your fun outside be limited due to the lack of proper outdoor lighting. Here are some ways to illuminate your property so you can enjoy these outdoor living areas even more:
Paver Patio Outdoor Lights
To set the tone of your paver patio as a relaxing place to unwind, you could have recessed outdoor lighting along the perimeter or built-in lights to the adjoining retaining wall. If you have a pergola over your paver patio, a pendant light or chandelier in the center of the shade structure could offer a bright glow for when you dine alfresco.
Walkway Lighting
Enjoy walking around your property at night with ease with the addition of outdoor lights along your walkways. You can have low level light fixtures placed on both sides of the walkway to guide you, your family members, and houseguests along the route. In addition, tall outdoor lamp posts can provide optimal lighting when placed along the walkway.
Pool Patio Lights
Pool patios are excellent places to spend the majority of your summer days, gathering with friends or the kiddos, yet typically call for an entirely different kind of mood at night. To aid in the transition from young family time during the day to adult time with a late dinner and an evening swim, pool patio lighting can be strategically placed. These lights can direct attention to the pool water and textured paver patio while being subtle enough that the conversation will naturally flow all night long.
Landscaping Spotlights
If you have an expansive lawn area, you can get more use out of this space by adding spotlights to the scenery. Many people hear the term “spotlight” and they think it may be a glaring light that will be too bright and might even disturb the neighbors, but not necessarily. You can choose different levels of brightness and add these spotlights in certain areas of your yard to open up options for nighttime volleyball games or playing catch with a baseball when day turns to dusk.
Front Entryway Lighting
The outdoor lighting in your front yard can set the mood for all your guest interactions as it can be specifically chosen and installed to create a welcome vibe. Recessed lighting along your paver driveway can create an open invitation to your visitors, and lighting within your adjacent flower beds can give your plantings some extra attention at night.
