Are you looking for that one final piece that will make your backyard perfect? One of the top additions you can make is Denver outdoor lighting! While you can have a standard flood or security light, that does not set a mood in the area. There are a variety of types of premier lighting available to make your backyard the perfect space once the sun goes down that can serve a dual purpose for safety and security as well. From the types of lighting and quality design ideas to keeping the grass in your backyard green, use some of these tips to enhance your space.

Types of Lighting

If you have pathways in your backyard that you would like to safely navigate through at night, consider lighting along your paths. These can be installed in the ground along the path or nearby next to rock or plant beds to keep the areas lit. You can also highlight trees and shrubs by adding accent lighting that lights up these areas at night. If you have a deck or patio, add hanging lights along the area. You can strategically place them so they do not look overbearing and provide the perfect touch for a night on your deck. If you have a smaller space but would like upscale lighting for practical use, consider adding wall lighting. You can find a variety of styles from hanging lights to lanterns. When purchasing your lighting, know that the type of bulb you buy will determine the type of lighting that it puts out. If you are looking for a light and soft feel, look for bulbs with a lower wattage for softer lights. For a complete guide on types of outdoor lighting you can visit the DIY Network website.

Backyard Design Ideas

When you are trying to design your backyard, landscaping plays a huge part. No matter what the size of your yard is, you can strategically place trees and bushed in places followed by accent lighting that draws attention to those areas at night. If you are looking to create a lounge area, one of the best ideas is to add a deck or patio. Another go-to option is to add a firepit. You can create a space and purchase outdoor furniture to match. You can invest in waterproof furniture for your deck, allowing you to have couches, loveseats, chairs, ottomans, etc. For a firepit, you can invest in seating to go around it and add an upscale feel.

Keeping Your Grass Green

As you work on your backyard designs, you will want to make sure your grass stays healthy. To do this, make sure you are using a sprinkler system. By installing a system for your landscaping, you can ensure that your yard is getting the right amount of water at the right times. This will keep your grass lively and green.
