Outdoor Landscape Lighting



Backyard Retreat Home Page
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.
