Ground-level lighting

Lead the eye from the street to the door

The best displays work at three levels: the roofline above, greenery at the door and lighting on the ground that ties it together. Pathway and landscape lighting is that third level. A line of C9 stake lights along the front walk, the driveway edge outlined, landscape beds traced in light and a soft uplight on the stone or the entry columns give the display depth and make the whole front yard part of the picture.

We install stake lights on sturdy ground stakes with the same commercial C9 bulbs as your roofline, so colors and brightness match. Uplights are low-voltage LED fixtures aimed at trees, stone and architecture. Everything runs on timers, is maintained all season, and is removed and stored in January.

Common layouts

  • Walkway line: stakes on one or both sides of the front walk from the drive to the door, spaced to match the roofline bulbs.
  • Driveway edge: stakes along the drive so the approach glows, popular on acreages and corner lots.
  • Bed outline: a line of stakes along the front edge of foundation beds, under netted shrubs, for a continuous base of light.
  • Uplights: warm white fixtures at the base of a tree, column or stone facade to add dimension.
  • Brick ranch with stake lights lining the bed edge beneath red and green netted shrubs

Built for Illinois winters

Stake lights sit where the snow falls and the shovel goes. We use heavy stakes set deep, route cords away from walks and plow paths, and place lines so plowing a driveway does not take out the display. If a stake gets knocked over, maintenance is free.

What Central Illinois homeowners say

  • Our lights were amazing. Lights were done quickly and efficiently. When the season was over he was back to take them down just when he said he would. We have had him put our lights up for several years and will continue to! Highly recommended.

  • We just had our lights installed by Midwest Holiday Lighting on Thanksgiving day. We just called them and let them know we would like them to do our light install and they worked us in quickly. They were very friendly, knowledgeable, courteous, and patient. We love the holiday lighting they installed on our house and will use them for years to come. They provided all the materials, completed the install quickly, and will store the lights for us during the off season. I added the wreath last minute and they had all the supplies to install it. We could not be happier with Tom and his crew and the job they did installing our lights. Thank You Midwest Holiday Lighting for making our holidays feel more merry and our home look brighter! Enjoy!

FAQ

Landscape lighting questions

See all questions
Will the stakes survive snow and shoveling?
Yes. We set heavy stakes deep and place them clear of plow paths. If one is knocked loose, we fix it at no charge.
Can the pathway lights match my roofline color?
Yes. Stake lights use the same C9 bulbs, so colors and brightness match exactly.
Do you do uplighting on stone and brick?
Yes. Low-voltage LED uplights on stone facades, columns and entry walls add depth to the display.
Can you light a long driveway?
Yes. Driveway outlines on acreages are a popular project across our rural service area.
