Landscape lighting can dramatically transform your property once the sun goes down. With the right placement and design, outdoor lighting enhances curb appeal, improves safety, and highlights the most beautiful features of your landscape. However, knowing where to install landscape lighting is just as important as choosing the fixtures themselves.
At Salas Services, we design and maintain professional landscape lighting systems for homeowners throughout the DFW Metroplex and surrounding areas. Strategic lighting placement helps homeowners enjoy their outdoor spaces while creating a welcoming nighttime atmosphere.
If you’re considering landscape lighting, here are some of the best areas to focus on.
Your front entrance is one of the most important areas to illuminate. Proper lighting around entryways helps guests easily locate your door while also improving security.
Lighting around the front door can:

Lighting along paths can:

Accent lighting can also highlight flower beds, fountains, sculptures, or other decorative features.
Outdoor living areas are meant to be enjoyed in the evening as well as during the day. Proper lighting makes patios, decks, and seating areas more functional.
Lighting in these areas helps:
Soft lighting around patios helps maintain ambiance while keeping the area comfortable and inviting.
Garden beds and landscaping features often look completely different at night when properly illuminated. Lighting can highlight textures, plants, and layered landscaping designs.
Subtle lighting around plants and shrubs adds depth to the landscape and helps showcase the effort you’ve put into your yard.
