See how the pros use outdoor lighting to highlight landscape design and beautiful exteriors.

- Eye-Catching Light
Thoughtful landscape lighting is a treat for the eyes. “You want people driving by to take a second look because what you’ve created is interesting,” says a famous designer of landscape lighting

- Mark Parameters
On this walkway, the offset lights have considerable distance between them, leading the eye naturally down the path. Some are located entirely in the garden bed while others cast light onto the path.

- Mix Styles
Using different styles of path lights in the same scheme can help you avoid the “good little soldier” look. Be sure to clean the lamp surfaces and check for burned-out bulbs at least once a year, and relocate the stakes if plant growth has blocked their light output.

- Less Is More
Path lighting is something that is rarely done well. Whether you opt for inexpensive stakes or pricier fixtures, placement is critical. Think of them as gentle hints for where to go next, not outlining tools or runway lights for an airplane landing. Fewer is usually better.

- Add Color and Texture
Path lights are visual aids in a dark space, but they also add color and texture if you place them near interesting plants. This way, you can retain pieces of your garden’s charm long after the sun sets.

- Moon Lighting
placing lights high in trees to give the effect of real moonlight. Here, uplighting on trees near the house and moon lighting in the taller trees beyond preserves a woodsy feel and illuminates walking areas so that no path fixtures are needed.

- Cool Light
In terms of color temperature, moonlight is on the cool end of the spectrum — it’s “bluer” than artificial indoor lighting.

- Indirect Lighting
Seating areas benefit from moon lighting or lighting installed high overhead because there are no harsh bulbs at eye level and it creates a cozy, intimate feel.

- Warm and Cool Lighting
Candlelight is at the other end of the spectrum from moonlight. That means in combination with overhead moon lighting, warm tabletop candles really pop.

- Fireplace Lighting
If you don’t have tall trees, you may have to get creative to achieve moon lighting. This outdoor fireplace is spotlighted from a three-and-a-half story eave. The pergola in the background is lit brightly because it’s viewed from the house most of the time; however, it can be made more inviting with a dimmer switch.
