Light These 5 Backyard Features for Maximum Visual Impact

Adding a touch of illumination to your backyard’s features is perfect for enhancing its visual appeal and creating a space that’s warm and inviting year-round. Check out these five backyard features you should light for maximum visual impact.

Pathways

Pathways are without a doubt the most quintessential outdoor feature that requires lighting. By illuminating paths, light is cast onto nearby shrubs, flowers, grass, trees and additionally paved areas, creating a lovely glow that can also outline the basic layout of your backyard.

Shrubs, Trees and Flower Beds

Flower beds, trees and shrubs are fantastic places to incorporate light to create a dreamy, clean look. Illumination of these important features adds vibrancy to your nightscape design that accentuates the fullness of any garden area.

Statues and Fountains

Fountains and statues should also be illuminated for maximum aesthetic. A well-placed light can brighten any statue’s features and creates a timeless and elegant look. Many fountains have lights that shine within the water basin, causing a unique reflective effect that continuously changes as the water flows.

Pools and Ponds

If you have a pool or pond, beautiful lighting can be added to the surrounding areas, or for a truly dramatic effect, lights can directly illuminate the water. Most modern pools are already equipped with underwater lighting; take it another step further by changing the colors of the lights to create a more dynamic look.

Outdoor Living Spaces With Backyard Features

To create the perfect evening atmosphere, install overhead string or globe lights to enhance any outdoor living space. Lights can also be wrapped around posts, through a trellis or strung from a pergola. Illuminating these areas creates a dramatic appearance that accentuates the size of these larger spaces and invites guests to stay a while. Las Vegas backyard landscaping is perfect for any outdoor enhancements you want to make, so you can maximize your backyard’s visual impact.
