Your home’s landscape design is not complete until you’ve added the right landscape lighting. It does more than simply illuminate your home; it lets you enjoy your yard and garden even in the evening and at night. It can also set a mood or add to your landscape’s overall design. At JK Landscape Construction in Clearwater, MN, landscape lighting is considered in every design project.

When you decide to add lighting to your landscaping, the first thing you should consider is what you want it to accomplish. Do you want to illuminate a walkway for safety reasons? Path lights or lanterns set along a walkway can help guests find their way to your door, or illuminate walkways in the backyard.

Decorative solar-paneled lights are the easiest to use; they require no wiring and light up on their own. If you have steps, installing lights into the risers can be a safety feature that is also decorative. Not only will your guests appreciate it, but landscape lighting also helps any emergency responders find your home faster.

If you do a lot of outdoor entertaining or want to use your outdoor kitchen in the evenings, landscape lighting can add to the ambiance of your yard and even highlight certain landscape elements. Hang globe lights from a trellis over your outdoor kitchen to create a romantic mood. Outline a flowerbed with lights, or place a spotlight on a tree to create a glow in the foliage
