Make the Most of Your Outdoor Space, Day and Night

One of our goals at Summit Scapes is to help Manlius homeowners get the most out of their outdoor spaces. With our professional outdoor lighting solutions, you can enjoy your yard well into the evening. Proper lighting doesn’t just add ambiance to your space; it also plays a big role in safety. Well-lit paths, stairs, and entryways help significantly reduce the risk of slip and fall hazards, especially if you have a yard with uneven terrain. 

Types of Outdoor Lighting

When we work with a customer on outdoor lighting, we consider several factors: aesthetics, functionality, safety, and budget. That’s why we offer a variety of options that fit everyone’s needs and styles.
Pathway and Walkway Lighting

PATHWAY AND WALKWAY
LIGHTING

With pathways and walkways, the most important role of the lighting is to help prevent trips and falls so you and your guests can safely navigate your property. This is especially important during compromising weather where falls are more likely to occur. There are several options you can choose for these lights, including:

  • Solar stake lights
  • Low-voltage path lights
  • Step lights
  • Bollard lights
Accent and Feature Lighting

ACCENT AND FEATURE LIGHTING

These lights are perfect for highlighting your favorite landscape features, whether it’s a decorative birdbath or stone statue, or a beautiful tree or shrubs. This lighting can really lend well to the atmosphere of your backyard garden. Some of the most popular accent and feature lighting options include:

  • Up-lights
  • Well lights
  • Spotlights
  • String lights
Deck and Patio Lighting

DECK AND PATIO LIGHTING

Deck and patio lighting is unique in that you want it to be natural and intimate for gatherings, but not overly bright once the sun goes down. You can achieve this with a few different lighting options, including:

  • String, pendant, or hanging lights for railings or pergolas
  • Recessed deck lights
  • Post cap lights
  • Wall-mounted sconces

frequently asked questions

What is the average cost of installing outdoor lighting?

The average cost of outdoor lighting installation is between $100 and $200 per light installed, including labor costs. Our costs vary for the transformer depending on how many lights and how much power is needed.

Can outdoor lighting be added to the existing landscape?

Absolutely, we often install outdoor lighting in outdoor spaces with existing landscapes.

Is low-voltage lighting better than standard outdoor wiring?

Low-voltage lighting is typically safer, energy efficient, and easier to install, which makes it more ideal for residential outdoor spaces. Standard outdoor wiring is typically used for certain applications, but low-voltage wiring is a more cost-effective option for homes.

Can I use LED or solar lights for my outdoor lighting?

Yes! LED lights are great for outdoor lights because they are long-lasting and energy-efficient, so they won’t drastically increase your energy costs. Solar lights are another ideal option where wiring is more complicated because they can charge during the day, even in cloudy weather.

How do I choose the right lighting for my yard or garden?

It’s important to think about how you want to use your outdoor space. Do you want to prioritize visibility, ambiance, or highlight features? There are so many lighting options that can meet your style and functionality preferences. We can help guide you on lighting placement and fixture type to get the results you want.
