Beautiful Landscape Backyard Lighting Ideas
to Customzie Your Space
At Install-It-Direct, we help homeowners create outdoor spaces they can enjoy day and night. Whether you want to make your yard safer, highlight your landscaping, or create perfect spots for evening entertaining, we’ve put together lighting ideas that work for every backyard.
01
Walkway Lighting
Make your outdoor space safer and more welcoming. Well-placed lights along walkways and steps guide the way while adding style. They’re perfect for preventing missteps and creating that warm welcome everyone loves.
02
Wall Lanterns
Add style and function to your outdoor living areas. These fixtures light up entryways and patios while enhancing your home’s architecture. Choose from classic designs to modern styles that match your home.
03
Step Lights
Keep your outdoor stairs safe and stylish. Small lights built into each step prevent accidents while creating a beautiful glow. Perfect for decks, patios, and landscape stairs.
04
String Lights
Create that perfect party atmosphere outdoors. Draped over patios or wrapped through trees, these lights add a magical touch to any gathering space. They’re ideal for setting that warm, welcoming mood.
05
Patio Spotlights
Light up your main outdoor living space. Well-placed spotlights keep your patio bright and usable after dark while highlighting architectural features.
06
Outdoor Kitchen Lighting
Cook and entertain long after sunset. Task lighting over grills and prep areas lets you see clearly while ambient lights set the mood for dining. The right combination of functional and accent lighting makes outdoor cooking a joy at any hour.
07
Deck Lighting
Add subtle lighting to your outdoor deck space. Built-in lights along rails and steps keep the area safe while creating a sophisticated evening atmosphere.
08
Pool Area Lighting
Transform your pool area into a nighttime retreat. Subtle lights around the pool deck and underwater fixtures create a safe, beautiful space for evening swimming. From practical path lights to dramatic water effects, good lighting makes pool time magical.
09
Accent Lights
Show off your beautiful trees at night. Uplighting creates dramatic shadows in the canopy while highlighting interesting bark and branches. These lights turn ordinary trees into stunning nighttime features that catch everyone’s eye.
What Great Lighting Can Do For Your Backyard
Landscape lighting opens up a whole new way to enjoy your outdoor space. Here’s what makes it one of the best additions to your backyard:
Landscape lighting makes your home look better at night by lighting up the front of your house, driveways, walkways, fountains, and other special features of your property.
Create a moonlit look over your patio with landscape lighting. Your trees, garden features, pools and water features can all stand out beautifully at night with the right illumination.
Add safety with landscape lighting that brightens walkways and stairs. Outdoor lighting can also protect your property by lighting up dark corners and entrances, giving you a better option than harsh security lights.
Turn your yard and patio into usable space after dark with landscape lighting. Good lighting at your outdoor kitchen or grill lets you cook comfortably at night. The whole family can enjoy game nights, work outside, do homework, or read on the patio.
Lighting your outdoor living areas lets you entertain easily after sunset. This becomes especially useful during winter months when it gets dark early.

“We met with many local contractors when planning our backyard renovation project. Emily at Install-it-Direct went above and beyond the rest. She spent months planning the project details and working around two working parents schedules often meeting late at night during the week. Emily and her team lead by Andy removed our old paver patio and walkway, installed new drainage, new paver patio, new BBQ island, new pergola and new landscaping lighting. What an amazing transformation creating a backyard oasis we can share with our friends and family for years to come. Thank you Emily and Install-it-Direct.”

“Troy with Install-Direct was absolutely incredible. Not only was he an expert in his field but he was absolute pleasure to work with. We had unfortunately fired our PREVIOUS contractor and we’re looking for a top notch team to worth it to finish up our back yard. Troy and the install-first team went well beyond our HIGH HIGH expectations. Troy helped most with our plant selection, large cinder block planters, and lighting. They arrived early, stayed late, over communicated (per our request) and worked well with the other contractors in sight. I couldn’t imagine my backyard without working with Install-it Direct! Thank you Troy and Team for everything you accomplished. You’re welcome back anytime. “
