Spring in Sedona is beautiful, and it’s right around the corner. Landscape lighting design is a great way to brighten the mood as we begin to enjoy longer days and warmer nights. Need ideas? Here’s what we suggest.
Add Lighting to Your Pool or Water Feature
One great thing about Sedona’s weather: you’ll have many opportunities to enjoy your pool. New poolside lighting can give the area a whole new look. Here are some ways you can spruce up your backyard oasis this spring:
- Lighting around your pool or water feature is a great idea for increased safety and visibility.
- You can use strategic lighting placement and design to make it look like light is emanating from your water feature or backyard pool.
- Lighting can emphasize angles and points of view that make your water feature its most striking.
More Lighting Ideas for Your Outdoor Living Area
Your outdoor living area may also need some landscape lighting updates to be ready for spring.
- Do you want to add any lighting features to your porch or patio?
- Are all your pathways and nooks lit the way you want them for safety and visual impact?
Something as simple as adding outdoor string lights to your pergola or gazebo can immediately make the whole area more romantic, fun, or inviting. It all depends on what lighting you choose, where you place it, and the look you’re hoping to achieve.
Change the Color, Change the Look
Lighting color changes can also change the look of your yard. Think warmth. Warmer weather outside, warmer lighting for your lawn and landscaping. Warm lighting tones are calming, relaxing, and make the area feel cozier, which is perfect for the time of year when everyone feels drawn back outside.
And of course, you don’t have to stick with the basics. You can always add some festive colors to ring in the season. Green for St. Patrick’s Day, Purple for Mardi Gras, or any of your favorite spring flower shades can add fun pops of color throughout your yard.
Whatever You Do, Do It Safely
DIY is tempting. It also comes with plenty of risks. Landscape lighting installation is often done in precarious places (so those places can be less precarious and better lit). That often means being near rocks and water, and/or having to climb to high places. And of course, electricity is nothing to take chances with. Even for small projects, take special care. For larger projects, get help from the experts to avoid any safety risks.
