Do you want to give a special glow to your artificial grass garden? In this article we tell you how to get the best lighting in outdoor gardens. Your garden will look spectacular and you can enjoy it both day and night.

Lighting in outdoor gardens

The garden with artificial grass is a place to enjoy. And outdoor garden lighting allows you to extend this enjoyment, even in the evenings.

The best lighting in outdoor gardens is that which combines design, elegance, brightness and intimacy.

Enjoying the garden in the evenings is a pleasure.

For this it is important to have good lighting that highlights the beauty of your garden and at the same time allows you to enjoy a nice dinner, a family reunion, with friends or a date with your partner.

Lighting solutions for every area of the garden

Not all areas require the same luminosity. Here are some tips on how to illuminate the different environments that you can have in your garden.

• Dining space

The area you designate to the dining space needs good lighting, as it will be a place where much of the time will be spent.

Where you place the table and chairs should be placed a more intense and strong light to ensure good lighting, especially at night. Enjoying a dinner outdoors and with the right light will be a plus point in your garden.

For these spaces, the most appropriate are spotlights or exterior lamps that are placed in elevated areas to properly illuminate the entire space.

• Passage areas

Other areas where it is important to have good lighting are those reserved for transit: paths, roads, stairs, ramps… For these spaces you can use beacons, torches or floor lamps to provide greater security by illuminating the passage areas.

If you prefer, to reduce consumption, you can install motion sensors that activate the lights when they detect the presence of movement.

• Illuminate the pool

If you have a swimming pool in your garden, it is advisable to illuminate its surroundings to avoid falls or accidents.

To make the most of night bathing, installing lights inside and around the edges of the pool will give a lot of play to the pool in the hours when there is no light. In addition, the lighting and the movements of the water will create a relaxing and calming effect.

If a bolder style suits you, you can choose colored lights and play with different tones and effects.

• Highlighting decoration and plants

Another of our tips to make your garden look spectacular is to illuminate dimly and with warm tones those spaces where you have decorative elements: fountains, chillout areas, zen corners…

You can also highlight some of the plants or trees in your garden with special lighting that keeps them in view on closed nights.
