The Vision
This Auburn Hills property needed a complete backyard lighting solution that would transform their outdoor space from an unused dark area into a functional, beautiful evening retreat. The focus was on the backdoor entrance and patio area.
Client Goals
- Illuminate the backyard for evening use
- Create security lighting for the back entrance
- Enhance outdoor entertaining spaces
- Provide safe navigation around the deck and patio
The Challenge
The backyard was completely dark after sunset, making it unusable and creating security concerns. The homeowners wanted to create ambiance for entertaining while ensuring the back entrance was well-lit and secure.
Our Approach
We designed a comprehensive backyard lighting system that layers security lighting with ambient illumination. The backdoor area received focused attention while the patio and landscape elements were highlighted to create an inviting outdoor room.
Security Lighting Focus
The backdoor entrance and pathways received strategic lighting placement to eliminate dark spots and provide clear visibility for safe entry and exit.
Entertainment Ambiance
The patio and deck areas were enhanced with layered lighting that creates the perfect atmosphere for evening gatherings while remaining functional for everyday use.
Landscape Accents
Surrounding trees and garden beds received subtle uplighting to create depth and visual interest, extending the usable space feel throughout the backyard.
The Transformation
The backyard transformation has completely changed how this family uses their outdoor space. What was once an afterthought is now their favorite gathering spot. The security lighting provides peace of mind while the ambient lighting creates a resort-like atmosphere perfect for entertaining.
“We can't believe the difference! Our backyard went from dark and unused to our favorite place to spend evenings. The lighting makes us feel safe and creates such a beautiful atmosphere.”
