At Luna Rae Lighting, we design and install ground-level outdoor lighting systems that turn pathways, gardens, trees, and outdoor entertaining areas into safe, inviting spaces.

What Is Landscape Lighting?
Landscape lighting refers to ground-level outdoor light fixtures placed throughout your yard to illuminate walkways, garden beds, trees, water features, and outdoor living spaces. These fixtures sit at or near ground level rather than being mounted on your home. Path lights guide foot traffic along walkways, spotlights highlight trees and focal points, well lights create subtle uplighting effects from below grade, and bollard lights mark boundaries along driveways and garden edges.
Why Homeowners Choose Landscape Lighting

Fixture Types and Where They Work Best
Choosing the right fixture for each area of your yard is the difference between good lighting and great lighting. Path lights work best along walkways and driveways where consistent, low-level illumination prevents trips and missteps. Spotlights are ideal for tree uplighting, flagpoles, and garden sculptures. Well lights, installed flush with the ground, create dramatic uplighting on trees and walls without any visible fixture. Bollard lights anchor the edges of driveways, patios, and garden borders with a broader wash of light. Our team matches each fixture type to the specific conditions of your property.

Landscape Lighting FAQ
What types of landscape lighting fixtures are available?
The most common landscape lighting fixtures include path lights, spotlights, well lights, and bollard lights. Path lights illuminate walkways with downward-directed light. Spotlights project a focused beam for tree uplighting and focal points. Well lights sit flush with the ground for a hidden-source effect. Bollard lights provide broader illumination along driveways, patios, and garden borders. Luna Rae Lighting helps you select the right mix based on your yard layout and goals.
How do you design a custom landscape lighting plan?
Every project begins with an on-site visit where our team walks your property to identify key features, safety concerns, and focal points. We then create a scaled design showing fixture types, placements, wiring routes, and transformer locations. You review the plan and we adjust until it fits your vision and budget. This process ensures every light has a purpose rather than placing fixtures at random.

This process ensures every light has a purpose rather than placing fixtures at random.
Does landscape lighting require regular maintenance?
Yes, but the upkeep is minimal. LED fixtures last for years and draw very little power. Seasonal maintenance typically includes cleaning lenses, re-aiming fixtures that shift due to soil movement or landscaping changes, and trim lightingming plant growth that blocks light output. Luna Rae Lighting offers maintenance plans so your system stays at peak performance without you needing to handle it yourself.
What is the best landscape lighting for pathways vs gardens vs trees?
Pathways benefit from low-profile path lights spaced evenly to create consistent illumination without glare. Gardens look best with a combination of small spotlights and ground-level wash lights that bring out plant textures and colors. Trees call for uplighting with spotlights or well lights aimed upward through the canopy to create dramatic shadows and silhouettes. Each area demands different fixtures, angles, and brightness levels.
Can landscape lighting be integrated with a smart home system?
Yes. Modern landscape lighting systems connect to smart home platforms through Wi-Fi-enabled controllers and timers. You can schedule zones to turn on at sunset, dim specific areas for outdoor dining, or activate security lighting from your phone. Luna Rae Lighting installs systems that work with popular smart home setups so you can manage your outdoor lighting alongside your other connected devices.
Is landscape lighting only for large yards?
No. We design landscape lighting for properties of every size, from compact patios to multi-acre lots.
Will landscape lighting fixtures be visible during the day?
Most fixtures are small and designed to blend with your landscaping. Well lights are completely hidden below grade.
How long do LED landscape lights last?
Our LED fixtures are rated for 50,000 or more hours, which translates to decades of nightly use.
Can I add more fixtures to my system later?
Yes. We design every system with expansion in mind so you can add zones or fixtures as your landscaping grows.
