Popular Types of Landscape Lighting in St. Louis
Many St. Louis-area homeowners consider landscape lighting an investment in beauty, safety, and entertainment for their home. The Poynter Landscape team is here to help you make the best choice when it comes to types of landscape lighting for your property, including:
- Path/Walkway Lights
Path lights are small fixtures placed along walkways, driveways, and garden paths to illuminate the way. Pro Tip: Our specialists space them evenly on both sides of the path to create a balanced look. We make suggestions to avoid overlighting by selecting fixtures with soft, diffused light. - Spotlights
Spotlights are often used to highlight specific features like trees, sculptures, or walls. Pro Tip: Our landscape lighting pros use spotlights to create dramatic shadows and depth – aiming them upward to emphasize the height of trees or downward to illuminate focal points. - Deck and Patio Lights
Deck and patio lights are designed to be embedded in decks, stair risers, or other surfaces to provide illumination for safety. Pro Tip: We frequently integrate these lights into the architecture of our St. Louis clients’ outdoor structures to provide a seamless appearance. Give us a call to learn more at 636-256-2600 or contact us online to request a quote. - In-Ground Lights
In-ground lights, commonly referred to as well lights, are installed flush with the ground to light up pathways, driveways, or landscape/hardscape features. Pro Tip: We utilize in-ground lights to create a soft, upward glow that highlights plantings or architectural details without visible fixtures sticking up. - Accent Lights
Outdoor accent lights shine upward and provide illumination around trees, shrubs, boulders, or stone walls in your St. Louis landscape. Pro Tip: We install our accent landscape lights to blend in with your landscape during the day while providing top-notch lighting during the evening hours.
More St. Louis Landscape Lighting Tips From the Poynter Landscape Experts
There are a lot of factors to consider with landscape lighting in St. Louis. You shouldn’t just call up a random company and let them place lights haphazardly. With Poynter Landscape, you get professional expertise. We provide an initial consultation, going over every facet of the job.
Here are a few more design tips from our St. Louis landscape lighting specialists:
- Consider the Scale: We make sure you select from a variety of fixtures that complement the size of your outdoor space in St. Louis. Large fixtures can overwhelm a small garden and look out of place, while tiny lights can get lost in a sprawling yard.
- Play with the Shadows: Sounds frightening, but we use lighting to create interesting silhouettes and shadows. This can add some mystery and intrigue to your garden or other landscaping, particularly when highlighting shrubbery and large trees. Additionally, this can go over especially well on Halloween.
- Energy Efficiency: Our specialists often opt for the energy efficiency of LED lights. They use up to 90% less energy and last up to 25 times longer than traditional bulbs, and are available in an array of colors and brightness levels.
- Layer Your Lighting: Our team combines different types of lighting, like accent, spotlight, and ambient lighting, to create a nice layered effect, adding depth and dimension to your St. Louis landscape.
The Benefits of Landscape Lighting in St. Louis
The Poynter Landscape team wants you to enjoy your outdoor space just as much at night as during the day. Some of the advantages of landscape lighting include:
- Increased Property Value: Potential homebuyers in your St. Louis neighborhood see a well-lit landscape as a huge benefit. In fact, according to statistics from the National Association of Home Builders’ 2021 edition of What Home Buyers Really Want, nearly 90 percent of potential buyers rated landscape lighting as either “essential” or “desirable,” highlighting the impact on your home’s value. The two most desired home features across generations of home buyers are exterior lighting and a laundry room.
- Enhanced Aesthetics: Strategically placed landscape lighting can accentuate the beauty of your garden, pathways, and architectural features. By highlighting trees, shrubs, or water features, you can create stunning focal points that stand out after dark.
- Functionality: We can help create functional, livable spaces outside around pools, decks, or patios with the right light. Our landscape lighting team in St. Louis can show you a wide selection of fixtures and color temperatures that allow you to create your own unique lighting effects.
- Improved Safety and Security: Landscape lighting by Poynter Landscape provides essential illumination for nighttime navigation around pathways, stairs, and driveways. This allows your family and guests to navigate your property safely, reducing the risk of trips and falls. Also, criminals seem to love lurking in dark corners at St. Louis properties. Over 1 million burglaries occur annually in the U.S., and an estimated 75 percent of these are committed at night.
- Extended Outdoor Living: Enjoy your St. Louis yard after dark. Whether it’s dining near the outdoor kitchen, relaxing in the garden, or hosting a gathering near the hot tub, landscape lighting creates a pleasant atmosphere that encourages outdoor living – and visitors.
