The best thing I invested in when re-landscaping my small backyard? No, not the firepit or the outdoor kitchen — it was the lighting. Year-round, it's the thing that brings the yard into my home. During winter's early evenings, it gives me a view from my kitchen window, instead of a blanket of darkness, while in the summer, it's what lets you enjoy your outdoor space for longer, while the temperature is still high but the sun has gone down.
Any, and really I mean any, investment in outdoor lighting is better than none — but all it takes is a little expert advice to take the best garden lighting to the next level. With a little bit of lighting advice - after all, lighting design is its own discipline, especially for landscapes - you can make your money go further with outdoor lighting.
