Lighting: the “secret sauce” that makes outdoor spaces feel finished
Outdoor lighting is often overlooked—and it’s one of the most cost‑effective upgrades.
A great plan includes:
- Path and step lighting for safety
- Accent lighting for landscaping or architectural features
- Task lighting for the grill and prep zones
- Warm, dimmable ambient lighting for “hangout” mode
Pro tip: Separate lighting into zones and put them on dimmers or smart controls.
