Apogee Landscapes installs low-voltage landscape lighting to improve safety, boost curb appeal, and makes your yard more inviting after dark. The right lighting brightens walkways, trees, and outdoor gathering spaces, making them both practical and visually appealing. Our low-voltage systems provide lasting illumination while reducing energy costs.
Outdoor lighting does more than brighten a space—it changes how you experience your yard. The right placement makes paths safer, highlights fountains or patios, and adds a soft glow to decks and gardens. Apogee Landscapes helps homeowners choose lighting that fits their space, making outdoor areas more enjoyable every evening.
Benefits of Low-Voltage Landscape Lighting
Outdoor lighting increases safety, improves curb appeal, and makes outdoor spaces more inviting. Each light serves a purpose, from guiding pathways to brightening outdoor areas.
- Safe Walkways and Pathways: Lights along steps, driveways, and paths help prevent trips and falls.
- More Time Outdoors: Lighting extends the hours you can use patios, decks, and gardens. Soft illumination sets a calm mood for relaxing or entertaining.
- Bring Out the Best Features: Well-placed lighting makes fountains, stone patios, and trees stand out at night.
- A Polished Look: A well-lit yard looks attractive, even from the street. Outdoor lighting adds warmth and a welcoming feel to your home.
- Increased Security: A well-lit space reduces dark spots around doors, windows, and entry points. Motion-sensor lights add an extra layer of protection.
Types of Landscape Lighting
Outdoor lighting improves safety and adds character to outdoor spaces. Each type of fixture serves a unique purpose, from brightening pathways to creating a comfortable outdoor setting.
- Accent Lights: Spotlights and well lights highlight trees, walls, and architectural features, adding depth and contrast to your landscape. Uplighting creates bold shadows, while well lights provide a soft, hidden glow that makes outdoor elements stand out without visible fixtures.
- Pathway Lights: These lights brighten walkways, driveways, and garden paths, making them easier to navigate after dark. They also define borders, highlight surrounding plants, and create a warm glow that makes your yard feel more complete.
- Floodlights: Casting a wide beam of light, floodlights improve visibility in backyards, driveways, and entryways. Often used for security, they eliminate dark spots and make outdoor spaces feel safer while also lighting up large areas for nighttime activities.
- Deck and Step Lights: Placed along stairs, railings, and deck posts, these lights make outdoor areas safer while adding to the overall atmosphere. Soft lighting along steps and platforms provides a steady glow without overpowering the surrounding space.
- Hardscape Lights: Installed in retaining walls, under ledges, or along stone features, these lights highlight textures and materials in a subtle yet bold way. They add depth to patios and seating areas, creating a finished and well-structured look.
- Wall Lights: Mounted on exterior walls, these fixtures brighten patios, decks, and seating areas with a balanced mix of function and style. They add soft lighting that makes outdoor structures stand out and feel more defined at night.
- Motion-Sensor Security Lights: These lights switch on when they detect movement, instantly increasing visibility around doors, garages, and pathways. They help homeowners feel at ease by reducing dark areas and making the space more secure.
