# Transform your backyard with landscape lighting this summer

Your backyard should feel like an extension of your home—a place where you can relax, entertain, and feel safe. Here are some of our favorite **backyard lighting ideas** that bring beauty, safety, and ambience to life after dark:

1. Pathway lighting for safety and style

Keep your walkways safe and visible with low-profile lights or gorgeous bollards that guide guests and prevent trips.

2. Tree lighting

Highlight the natural beauty of your trees and landscaping, and add depth and drama with just the right amount of light from the ground up. Another favorite technique is using soft downlighting from high tree branches that mimics natural moonlight and spreads a magical glow across lawns, patios, or seating areas.

3. Accent lighting for your favorite features

Soft lighting around fountains, ponds, statues, and other features enhances movement and reflection.

4. Deck and step lighting

Keep decks and stairs safe with discreet, built-in fixtures. These lights also help define edges and add a finished look to your outdoor design.

5. Silhouette lighting along fences or walls

Add elegance and dimension with lighting behind plants or along textured surfaces. This technique is great for showcasing unique fencing or stonework.
