Why Light Your Garden
Garden lighting displays your greenery and landscape after dark, allowing your neighbors to admire the curb appeal of your front lawn and for your family or guests to immerse themselves in the beauty of your backyard. With unique garden lights, your property becomes a mesmerizing scene right out of a painting.
Additionally, lighting your garden allows you to utilize and enjoy your outdoor spaces after the sun goes down. Improving visibility and creating safe walkways, this lets you confidently traverse your outdoor spaces and keep the fun going into the night.
Long-lasting, durable, and energy efficient, our LED lights are designed to brighten your garden while minimizing power consumption and withstanding tough weather for years. Save money with lower energy and replacement costs, and enjoy the long lifespan of your garden lighting.
Creative Garden Lighting Techniques for Everyone
At Treasure Valley Lighting, we specialize in lighting design and layout. Offering many solutions in
brightness levels, color tones, and stylistic placement to complement any garden.
Our garden lighting techniques include:
Garden Bed Illumination
Placing lights along the perimeter of a planted bed, on the retaining wall of a raised bed, or inside of a garden bed to brighten an area with small plants and flowers.
Uplighting
Positioning lights outside the base of greenery or trees, then aiming them upward to create dimension and emphasize the texture of the plant.
Garden Pond and Waterfall Lighting
Use lights to illuminate the edges of ponds or fountains. Reflecting off of the water or shining under a waterfall, pond lights add an extra glow to your garden.
Graze Lighting
Casting light on plants at a shallow angle to highlight their shape and surface.
Silhouette/Backlighting
Place lights behind shrubs or potted plants to produce striking silhouettes. This creates the illusion that the plant is glowing, creating a stunning focal point.
Cross-Lighting
Using lights that sit on opposite sides of a plant to minimize shadows and form a richer look.
Custom Garden Lighting Solutions to Fit Your Needs
With a wide variety of adjustable fixtures and personal garden lighting designs, you can really dream big.
At Treasure Valley Lighting, we provide custom lighting plans that bring your garden to life:
String Lights
Lights strung across overhead fixtures or trees add wonder and whimsy to your garden, creating a relaxed and romantic feeling.
In-Ground Well Lights
Lights that sit flush with the ground are a simple and polished way to light your garden.
Spotlights
Small lights that shine directly on a localized area, highlighting individual plants or specific sections of your garden.
Step/Retaining Wall Lights
Lights placed on garden steps, or on the outside of a raised garden bed, create safe and stylish walkways.
Floodlights
Lights that shine a wide beam of soft light, illuminating large areas of your garden.
Globe Lights
Spherical orbs of light that sit on the floor of your garden bed and brighten their surrounding area with a soft glow.
Hanging Lanterns
Lanterns that hang from a thin rod placed around your garden add character and charm to your outdoor space.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can garden lighting be installed in existing landscaping?
Yes, garden lighting can usually be added to existing landscapes with minimal disruption. Low-voltage systems allow fixtures to be placed carefully around plants, garden beds, and pathways.
Is LED garden lighting a good choice?
LED garden lighting is highly recommended because it is energy efficient, long lasting, and durable in outdoor conditions. LED fixtures also offer a range of brightness and color temperature options to complement your landscape design.
How do I prevent my garden lights from bothering the neighbors?
This is a big topic regarding “Light Trespass.” To stay on good terms with the people next door:
- Use glare shields: These have a shield on top that forces light downward.
- Aim precisely: If you are uplighting a tree, ensure the beam hits the canopy and doesn’t “overshoot” into a neighbor’s bedroom window.
- Use Motion Sensors: For high-intensity security lights, use sensors so they only kick on when needed.
