Outdoor Lighting by Lee’s General Landscaping
Make your yard shine—day or night.
Hey! Mr. Lee here. You ever trip over your garden hose at night? Or maybe your backyard BBQs end early ‘cause it gets too dark? That’s where outdoor lighting comes in. It’s not just about looking good—it’s about staying safe, enjoying your yard after sundown, and keeping the raccoons from surprising you.
Whether you’re trying to show off your house, light up the path, or just set a nice mood for your outdoor space, I’ve got options that’ll work and last.
Why Outdoor Lighting Matters
Good lighting does a lot more than you think:
- Looks great: Highlights your home, plants, patios, pergolas—you name it.
- Keeps things safe: Lights up paths, stairs, and entryways so nobody takes a tumble.
- Adds security: A well-lit yard keeps burglars and nosy raccoons away.
- Lets you enjoy your space longer: Who says the fun has to stop at sunset?
Smart Lighting Design—The Mr. Lee Way
When I help folks light up their yards, I always start with these key things:
- Purpose: Want safety? Mood? Show off a big tree? We’ll match the light to the goal.
- Placement: We’ll find the right spot so the light does its job without blinding anyone.
- Energy Efficiency: We love using LED lights. Saves you money and they last forever.
- Weatherproofing: Seattle weather isn’t kind. We use tough, outdoor-rated gear that doesn’t flinch at rain or cold.
- Style: Lights should match your home—not stick out like a sore thumb.
- Control: Want timers, dimmers, or remote control? We got options.
- Safe Wiring: Don’t fry your circuits. We install it right and safe.
We’ll design something custom that fits your needs and budget—nothing cookie-cutter.
Types of Outdoor Lights We Recommend
There’s a light for every job. Here are some of my go-to options:
Low-Voltage Lighting
Nice and safe. Uses way less juice than regular lights. Great for walkways, garden beds, or low-glow ambiance.
LED Lighting
Bright, efficient, and lasts years. Use them for trees, patios, decks, fences—you name it. Comes in warm or cool tones.
Solar Lighting
Solar’s clean and easy to install, but Seattle’s cloudy a lot, right? Some days the lights don’t charge enough to stay on all night. Newer models are better, but I always suggest mixing solar with low-voltage just in case.
Spotlights, Floodlights & Area Lighting
Need to highlight a tree? Light up the backyard? Or shine light on the driveway for security? We’ve got lights for all that.
Why We Recommend LED for Most Jobs
LEDs are the MVP of outdoor lighting. Here’s why I love them:
- Use 85% less electricity
- Last 25,000–50,000 hours
- Tough as nails—weatherproof and shockproof
- Instant-on (no warming up like old bulbs)
- Come in all shapes, colors, and brightness levels
- Super low maintenance
- High-quality light, true-to-color, and dimmable
Bottom line: they just work.
Thinking About DIY?
If you’re the type who likes to tackle projects yourself, I respect that. Just make sure to:
- Use waterproof connectors
- Bury your wires safely
- Don’t overload your circuit
- Test everything before final install
Or, if you get stuck, give us a call—I’ll bring the tools and finish it right.
