Landscape Lighting Fixtures
There is a vast array of landscape lighting options available to elevate every corner of your property, whether you are looking to brighten a driveway, accent a patio, or highlight specific architectural features. The secret to achieving a captivating look is starting with a clear vision of the specific area you wish to enhance, as each distinct project calls for a specialized type of fixture to truly bring it to life. By matching your goals with the appropriate lighting solution, you can seamlessly blend beauty and functionality to create an outdoor space that is uniquely yours.
Pathway and Area Lighting
Choosing the right lighting for pathways and areas is a balance between safety, aesthetics, and preventing light pollution. These fixtures are designed specifically to direct light downward (where we walk) rather than upward (into the sky).
Path Lights ~ Shorter (knee-high) fixtures, often with “hats” to shield the bulb.
Bollard Lights ~ waist high, 360-degree or directional paths.
Step Lights ~ Recessed directly into vertical surfaces to prevent tripping
Flood Lights ~ Used to highlight trees or walls, creating a full coverage
Spotlights ~Used to accent targeted area providing “reflected” ambient light.
Landscape Lighting
Landscape lighting uses a specialized set of fixtures to go beyond basic safety, focusing on highlighting the natural beauty, textures, and architecture of your property. These fixtures work by manipulating direction, beam spread, and glare to create professional effects like “moonlighting” or “silhouetting.”
Spotlights (Bullets) ~ Highlighting focal points with narrow, directional beams. Base of trees, statues, or architectural columns.
Flood/Wash Lights ~Broad, even illumination across wide flat surfaces. Retaining walls, garden beds, or home facades.
Well Lights ~ Discreet, in-ground uplighting without visible fixtures. Turf areas (safe for mowers) or the base of textured walls.
Hardscape Lights~ Integrated, low-profile lighting for man-made stone or wood structures. Under capstones, seating walls, and outdoor kitchen counters.
Pond/Underwater Lights ~ Submersible fixtures for magical water effects. Inside ponds, fountains, or at the base of waterfalls.
Decks and Patio Lighting
Deck and patio lighting focuses on creating an intimate, functional “outdoor room” by layering light to define boundaries and task areas. Unlike landscape lighting, which highlights nature, these fixtures are often integrated directly into the deck or patio structure.
Post Cap Lights ~ Deck perimeters & Railings Mounted on top of posts to provide a soft downward glow and mark boundaries.
Step (Riser) Lights ~Stairs & Level changes Recessed into the vertical face of steps to illuminate treads without blinding walkers.
Under-Rail Lights ~ Railing systems LED strips or small fixtures hidden under rails for a “floating” effect and glare-free safety.
Recessed Deck Lights ~ Walking surfaces, Small, flush-mounted fixtures in the floor that define traffic paths.
Hardscape Lights ~ Patios & Retaining walls, Low-profile fixtures that tuck under capstones to wash vertical stone or brick surfaces with light.
Bistro/String Lights ~ Overhead ambiance, Draped across pergolas or poles to create a festive, “cafe” atmosphere.
Architectural Accent Lighting
Architectural lighting is the “jewelry” of a building. While the previous categories focus on safety or greenery, architectural lighting is specifically designed to emphasize form, texture, and depth. It transforms a flat structure into a three-dimensional landmark at night.
Wall Grazers ~ Textured surfaces (Stone/Brick), Placed very close to a wall to cast shadows that highlight texture.
Wall Washers~ Smooth, large facades, Placed further back to provide an even, flat “wash” of light.
In-Grade Uplights ~ Columns & Pillars, Recessed into the concrete or soil at the base of a vertical feature.
Surface-Mounted Sconces ~ Entryways & Framing, Attached to the wall; can be “Up/Down” lights that cast light in both directions.
