Landscape Lighting
Illuminate Your Outdoors with Style and Security. At Windwhistle Landscaping, we believe your outdoor space should be as inviting and functional at night as it is during the day. Our custom landscape lighting solutions transform gardens, patios, walkways, and architectural features into stunning nighttime showcases.
Whether you're looking to highlight the natural beauty of your yard, increase safety along pathways, or create a warm, welcoming ambiance for entertaining, our team designs lighting systems tailored to your home and lifestyle.
1. Path Lighting
Subtle, grounded fixtures that softly light walkways, garden edges, or steps.
Purpose:
- Helps you navigate safely after dark
- Guides guests naturally through a landscape
- Defines the edges of paths, patios, or planting beds
Design Notes:
- We avoid harsh, glaring lights — instead using soft, warm LEDs
- Often spaced every 6–8 feet, depending on layout
- Can be tucked into planting for a natural look
Great For:
- Gravel or flagstone paths
- Stepping stone trails
- Entryways and front walks
Example Photo Idea:
- A gently curving path with warm pools of light spilling over natural stone and nearby flowers
2. Uplighting
Ground-mounted lights that cast light upward onto trees, architectural features, or stone walls.
Purpose:
- Creates drama, shadow, and vertical depth
- Highlights beautiful tree trunks, canopies, or textured stone
- Adds a sense of intimacy and enclosure to outdoor spaces
Design Notes:
- Especially effective for trees with interesting branch structure (birch, Japanese maple, pine)
- Can be used on stone walls or fences to bring out texture at night
- We often pair uplighting with path lights or deck lights for layered effect
Great For:
- Feature trees
- Pergolas, arbors, or sculptural elements
- Stone or wood retaining walls
Example Photo Idea:
- A multi-stemmed birch tree glowing from below against a twilight sky
3. Deck & Step Lighting
Integrated lighting that’s built into stairs, under railings, or along low walls.
Purpose:
- Provides subtle visibility and safety for decks, stairs, or seating walls
- Adds ambience without visible fixtures
- Enhances modern designs or outdoor living areas
Design Notes:
- Usually low-voltage LED strips or pucks
- Can be installed flush into stair risers or tucked beneath railings
- We aim for glow, not glare
Great For:
- Deck stairs and transitions
- Built-in seating or retaining walls
- Entertaining areas where guests move between house and garden
Example Photo Idea:
- A cedar deck glowing gently underfoot, with lights embedded in the risers and warm tones playing off the wood grain
🌟 Our Philosophy on Outdoor Lighting
We believe in lighting landscapes with care and restraint. That means using:
- Warm, low-glare fixtures
- Shielded lights to reduce light pollution
- Layered lighting for atmosphere and function
- Zones you can control — not all lights need to be on at once
Our lighting designs focus on inviting people outside, not turning the garden into a stadium. A few carefully placed lights go a long way toward making your space feel magical, safe, and alive after dark.
