Lighting Your Garden to Radiate its Potential
Even though plants, fences and pathways seem to get the most attention when it comes to landscaping, lighting is still an essential feature that can take your front or backyard to the next level.
Different Lighting Options
It is a good idea to begin by assessing the different lighting options available to you.
These are just some suggestions; you might want to look into other options such as path, mushroom, and accent lights. Also, when shopping for different lights, look out for stylish options that will fit more appropriately with your house and garden rather than using the normal, more mundane versions of lights.
Plan Your Lighting
Drawing a plan for lighting your garden should be the first step you take before buying or installing anything. To help you get started, when it’s dark outside, use a flashlight to find the best places to put lights and to test out different angles of light to see which work best. Once you have a plan in mind, you’ll be able to decide which type of lighting to get and where to put it. If you don’t get enough lights for your garden, it won’t live up to its potential, while having too many lights can wash out your plants and do more harm than good. Your garden would go from looking accented to overwhelming.
