It’s a Match: Landscape Lighting & Hardscapes

Some things just go together... peanut butter & jelly, coffee & mornings, landscape lighting & hardscapes. If your outdoor space doesn’t have both, it’s basically a romance waiting to happen.

With Valentine’s Day around the corner, let’s talk about why landscape lighting and hardscapes are the perfect couple and how the right lighting can turn any patio, wall, or walkway into a total marriage.

Kichler Lighting – Setting the Mood

Ever seen those perfectly lit hardscape projects and thought, how do they do that? It’s not magic. It’s Kichler Lighting.

They break it down into three essential elements:

Steps – Keep your walkways glowing and safe with integrated LED brick lights or cap lights. Nothing ruins a romantic evening like tripping on the stairs.

Railings & Posts – Deck posts and railings don’t have to be boring. Hidden half-moon lights create ambiance without overpowering the space.

Sitting Walls – A little 12V hardscape lighting goes a long way when placed under the capstone. Suddenly, that backyard firepit area looks like something out of a magazine.

Pro tip: If you’re installing hardscapes, plan ahead! It’s easier to install lights during construction than to add them later.
