Landscape Lighting and Artificial Turf: Design Combinations

Strategic landscape lighting transforms your artificial turf installation from a daytime feature into a stunning nighttime showpiece. Here's how to combine lighting and turf for maximum visual impact around the clock.

Lighting Design Principles

• Uplighting from turf edges creates depth and dimension
• Path lighting along turf walkways for safety and ambiance
• Spotlighting feature areas like putting greens and fire pits
• Moonlighting from above for natural, soft illumination
• Color-changing LED options for entertainment areas
• Solar-powered options for eco-friendly installations

Installation Coordination

The best time to plan lighting is during turf installation. Low-voltage wiring can be routed beneath the turf, with fixtures positioned at edges and within landscape beds. Retrofitting lighting after turf installation is possible but more complex and expensive. We coordinate with licensed electricians to integrate lighting seamlessly with every installation.

Popular Lighting Combinations

Our most requested lighting-turf combination is warm white LED uplighting along hardscape borders, creating a soft glow that makes the turf shimmer at night. For entertainment spaces, we add dimmable overhead string lights or pergola-mounted downlights. Putting greens with recessed cup lights extend your practice time well past sunset.
