What kind of landscape lighting works best for my yard?

It’s a question we hear all the time. Some customers want something sleek and modern. Others are drawn to warm, classic charm. And many just know they want their home to feel more inviting after sunset—but aren’t sure where to begin with their landscape lighting ideas.

The good news? There’s no one-size-fits-all. Coastal homes offer the perfect backdrop for a range of lighting styles—from soft and breezy to bold and dramatic. That’s why the best place to start is with a quick walkthrough of your yard. See what areas you want to highlight, where you gather in the evenings, or where a little extra safety lighting might help.

Scroll through the style guide below to spark ideas

1. Contemporary

Sleek lines and minimalist fixtures create a clean, modern look. Great for architectural homes and modern outdoor spaces.

2. Traditional

Warm glows and classic lantern-style lights add timeless charm to gardens, walkways, and patios.

3. Coastal

Soft lighting built for coastal conditions—perfect for palm trees, dune paths, and breezy decks.

4. Rustic

Natural finishes and subtle placement help blend lighting into organic landscapes and wooded areas.

5. Architectural

Focused uplighting and clean angles highlight textures, walls, and standout features of the home.

6. Transitional

A balanced mix of traditional and modern elements—versatile and adaptable for most homes.
