Landscape Lighting
Let your landscape lighting illuminate every occasion and invite people into your home by highlighting walkways, architectural elements, gathering spaces, water features, and more.
Landscape lighting can enhance your outdoor space, provide increased security and add value to your home. Start by learning the possibilities and begin planning and placing landscape lighting to accent your property and highlight your home. Here are some key questions to ask yourself during planning.
- What do you love most about your yard?
- How and when are you planning to use your outdoor spaces?
- Is there a special architectural structure or feature you want to highlight?
- When and where is security lighting most important?
Before learning the more technical details of landscape lighting, it’s helpful to first understand the different landscape fixture options. Springfield Electric provides a wide array of landscape lights and each have their own place in your project and a unique ability to light your outdoor space.

How can landscape lighting increase the overall value of outdoor spaces?
Landscape lighting is crucial to the overall aesthetics of a home. It’s commonly overlooked, yet a fairly budget-friendly feature we find ourselves offering to customers more and more. It’s easiest to work landscape lighting into the initial overall design project, but it can always be added at a later time. In addition to adding a focus on a home or landscape feature, lighting has large safety and functionality benefits. All hardscape features of a homeowner’s property should have lighting. Pathways, driveways, steps on decks, and patios all provide increased accessibility when lit up.
What is the most impactful type of landscape lighting?
Every project is so unique, however, accent lighting makes such a difference at any home. Wall wash up lighting brings attention to the property that would normally be overlooked at sundown. Additionally, aiming spot and flood lights at specific trees and bushes surrounding the perimeter of your home adds an extra element to your outside space. If nothing else, landscape lighting adds curb appeal, and who doesn’t want that?
