Ground Lights and Pathway Lights

Light up your paths and your landscaping to guide your guests through your yard! Ground Lights and Pathway Lights are a great way to add more character and lighting to your home. I only suggest placing these lights (especially the ground lights in locations where you will not need to mow or use a weed wacker. If possible, I would also try to hide the wire under some soil or mulch to try and protect it more.

Ground Lights

Ground Lights are little lights on stakes that are pressed into the ground. These are great to lead people along a certain path especially if you create an animated DIY to lead your guests down your path or walkway. You can also position them to make a fun grid on your lawn to make some fun music-synced lighting effects!

Installation Notes

These lights install via a spike that goes into the ground that the lights are installed on top of the spike.

It is imperative to consider the installation location and method of these lights, as they may impact landscaping. If feasible, attempt to install and protect the cable by leaving slack to bury the wire, thereby safeguarding it. Additionally, hand trimming the grass area adjacent to the light installation or ensuring that your gardener is aware of the location can prevent accidental wire damage.

To minimize potential issues, I recommend avoiding placing these lights in areas with grass. For convenience, I suggest installing them in locations where a weed trimmer or lawn mower cannot access, such as areas covered in mulch.


Pathway Lights

Pathway Lights provide excellent lighting for paths as they are higher brightness and also due to their elevated positioning of the lightning element to light the path below.
