The addition of outdoor landscape lighting to your retreat is one of the easiest and most rewarding additions you can make. As people approach your house, they'll see a festive look that is inviting and welcoming. One tip: don't over do it! Too many lights will make your home look like Las Vegas or Myrtle Beach at night! Less is better here - try uplighting only a few trees and backlighting a few of your garden features. Ourselves, we tend to shy away from much path lighting. Again, remember safety. Use low voltage outdoor lighting that canhandle the elements. There are do-it-yourself kits available from your home center or you can contact professionals in your area. If your plans are extensive, consider hiring an electrician to help. |  |
