DESIGN YOUR OUTDOOR LIGHTING ON LBI
Illuminate Your Landscape
Outdoor lighting is one of the most impactful ways to elevate your property after dark. A well-designed lighting plan extends the beauty and functionality of your landscape into the evening hours, transforming pathways, patios, gardens, and architectural features into warm, inviting focal points. Thoughtful illumination enhances safety and visibility, guides movement throughout the property, and creates ambiance that allows you to enjoy outdoor living well into the night.
At Bay Avenue Plant Company, we design lighting systems specifically for Long Beach Island’s coastal conditions. We select fixtures and finishes engineered to withstand salt air, wind, and seasonal weather, ensuring long-term durability and consistent performance. Every placement is intentional — highlighting the best features of your home, shaping nighttime atmosphere, and bringing depth, texture, and dimension to your outdoor environment. The result is a landscape that looks as beautiful at night as it does during the day.

Thoughtful Planning For LBI Properties
Designing an effective outdoor lighting system requires more than choosing fixtures — it’s about understanding how light interacts with your home, your landscape, and your lifestyle after dark. Our team considers the unique conditions of your property, the architectural features you want to highlight, and the ways you plan to use your outdoor spaces in the evening. Strategic placement ensures that illumination feels balanced, intentional, and comfortable.
When designing your lighting plan, we consider:
- Sunset transition and how your space comes to life at night
- Glare control to keep lighting soft, warm, and comfortable
- Fixture placement and shielding to highlight features
- Circulation and visibility for safe movement across property
- Architectural accents that add dimension and enhance appeal
- Garden and tree illumination to bring depth and texture
By blending beauty, safety, and technical performance, we create lighting designs that elevate your home’s exterior and enhance the overall outdoor living experience.
