Patio Lighting
Landscape Lighting
Pathway fixtures typically run at lower lumens with narrow beams to define a route without glare—brightness is selected based on step height and path width.

Landscape & Patio
Extend your living space into the night
Hawkstone Landscape & Patio Lighting transforms yards into usable, beautiful spaces after dusk. Thoughtful placement improves safety, showcases landscaping, and creates intimate outdoor rooms for dining, entertaining, or quiet evenings. Our permanent LED systems are weatherproof, energy-efficient, and designed to blend with your architecture by day and elevate your space at night.
Common Fixtures &
Where to Use Them
- Pathway Lights: Low, directional fixtures that define walkways and entries without glare.
- Spotlights & Uplights: Accent trees, architectural elements, or focal sculptures with precise beam control.
- Deck & Step Lights: Recessed or surface-mounted fixtures that illuminate transitions for safety and style.
- Wall Wash Lights: Soft, even illumination for patios, facades, or fabrication walls.
- Strip & Rail Lighting: Low-profile options for under-rail, step noses, and deck perimeters to create a modern, continuous glow.
Why professional
installation matters
- Safety First: Properly lit steps, pathways, and transitions reduce trip hazards and improve visibility for family and guests.
- Balanced Ambiance: Layered lighting—path, accent, and ambient—creates depth and avoids harsh glare.
- Landscape Enhancement: Uplighting trees, downlighting patios, and accenting water features reveal texture and form at night.
- Durability: Permanent installations use sealed connectors and rugged hardware for years of reliable performance.
Patio zones—design ideas
- Dining: Warm, even overhead or umbrella lighting at 60–80% for comfortable meals.
- Lounge: Low ambient glows and subtle uplighting for soft conversation lighting.
- Entertainment: Dynamic color or accent washes for game nights, barbecues, or movie evenings.
- Hot tub & spa: Gentle, moisture-rated lighting with non-reflective placement to preserve relaxing views.
Design principles we follow
- Layer the light: Combine path, accent, and ambient layers to create function and mood.
- Aim for low glare: Shield fixtures and use narrow beams near sightlines to avoid discomfort and neighbor complaints.
- Respect proportion: Size beam angles and brightness to the scale of plants and architecture—too much light flattens detail.
- Seasonal thinking: Place uplights to highlight foliage through the seasons and avoid blocking planting growth patterns.
code compliance &
Safety considerations
- Use outdoor-rated, sealed fixtures and connectors that meet IP and local codes.
- Place low-voltage circuits on dedicated, code-compliant runs to prevent overloading.
- Position fixtures to avoid glare into driver sightlines and neighboring windows.
- Coordinate with electricians for any required outlets or panel work to ensure safe, permit-ready installations.

CONTROL
Smart control & simple scheduling
Hawkstone systems include intuitive app control so you can set zones, create scenes, and schedule lights around sunset/sunrise or event times. Typical uses include automatic dusk-to-dawn security dimming, a warm-white evening preset for everyday use, and special colorful scenes for parties or holidays—each accessible from your phone with simple presets.
Maintenance & longevity
Our modular approach makes maintenance fast and affordable. Annual checks cover connectors, mounting hardware, and controller health. Most repairs are localized—replacing a single module or fixture instead of entire runs—keeping downtime and costs low.
Have Questions?

How bright should pathway lights be?
-
Will landscape lights affect my house?When placed thoughtfully, lighting has minimal impact. Avoid shining continuous high-intensity blue-rich light directly onto sensitive plant species; prefer warm-white tones for long-term garden health.
-
Can I add patio lights to an existing Hawkstone system?Yes—Hawkstone designs distribution and power so patio and landscape zones integrate cleanly with roofline or trim lighting when desired.
-
How long before I see the full benefit?Most homeowners enjoy an immediate improvement after installation; the full effect is realized at dusk when layered lighting reveals depth and usable outdoor rooms.
-
How long doe the system last?Hawkstone products comes with a Lifetime Product & Installation Warranty. The lifespan of a lighting system is influenced by its usage frequency. When used solely during the holiday season, it can last as long as 30-40 years. On average, a lighting system will last between 20-30 years (assuming it is only used during nighttime hours). The components of our lighting systems last between 75,000 and 100,000 burn hours.
