Yard and pathway Christmas lighting

Stake lights along walkways and driveways, net and mini lights on shrubs, and lit beds that tie the yard to the house.

Lighting from the curb to the front door

Quick answer

Yard and pathway lighting adds light at ground level: stake lights along walks and driveways, and mini or net lights on shrubs, hedges and planting beds. Pronto plans the spacing, installs everything and tidies the cords, using lights you rent or buy.

A lit roofline with a dark yard looks unfinished. A row of lights along the walk fills that gap and leads people to the door.

Ground-level lighting is also the part most likely to be kicked, mowed or tripped over. Placement matters as much as the lights do, so we plan around how you use the yard.

Pathway and driveway lights

Stake lights hold a bulb a few inches above the ground. Set at even spacing, they draw a clear line from the street to your door.

  • Spacing measured, so the line looks even from the street
  • Stakes set inside bed edges where we can, away from mowers and tires
  • Cords run along the edge of the path
  • The whole run on one timer

Shrubs, hedges and beds

Net lights cover a trimmed shrub quickly and evenly. Mini lights suit taller or looser plants, where we work the strand through the branches.

A lit hedge can do the work of a second roofline. It adds a band of light at eye level across the front of the property.

  • Net lights on boxwood and other clipped shrubs
  • Mini lights worked through hedges and climbing vines
  • Lights on beds and borders along the front of the house

What helps on install day

None of this is required. All of it makes the visit faster.

  • Tell us where the outdoor outlets are
  • Mark sprinkler heads near the path if you know where they are
  • Let your gardener know stakes are going in
  • Move cars off the driveway edge we are lighting
  • Tell us about gates, pets and alarm sensors
  • Decide which side of the walk you want lit, or ask us

Yard and pathway questions

Have a different question? Call (213) 800-4951 or see all questions.

Will stake lights get in the way of my gardener?

They can. We set stakes just inside the edge of beds where we can, and we suggest telling your gardener the lights are in. If a stake is knocked over or a cord is cut, call us for a repair visit.

Do pathway lights need their own outlet?

Not usually. A run can share an outdoor outlet with other lights if the total load allows it. We check this when we plan the layout.

Can you light a paver driveway or artificial turf?

Yes. Stakes go into the planting strip or bed beside the pavers or turf, so nothing is driven through them.

How is this different from landscape lighting?

Christmas pathway lights are seasonal and plug in. Landscape lighting is a low-voltage system that stays in place all year.

Do you supply the Christmas lights?

No. Pronto is an installation company, so you rent or buy the lights and we do the rest. If you are not sure what to get, we measure what you want lit and tell you the lengths, bulb type and clips to order.

Do you take the lights down after the holidays?

Yes. We schedule removal and takedown in January, take everything down and pack your lights so they are ready to store or return.
