Adding Ambiance with Outdoor Yard Lights in Boise

Installing outdoor lighting is one of the quickest and easiest ways to make your backyard truly “livable”. Not only does the convenience of outdoor floor lamps and wall light fixtures make the space more functional for nighttime activities, but the ambiance they bring - along with other types of lighting, can invite you to want to be in the space more often. Here are a list of outdoor home accent lighting fixtures that can up the ambiance and livability of your outdoor oasis: 


  1. Solar Garden Lanterns - Outside LED garden lights are both energy efficient and beautiful. Coming in all different colors, shapes and styles, these types of outdoor lights create inviting lighting paths throughout your yard that increase visibility for nighttime walks and gardening sessions as well as extend the nighttime sight lines for you and your family to enjoy. 




  1. Gazebo Lights - Of all of the outdoor lighting fixtures, several strings of outdoor canopy gazebo lights can add the most ambiance while suddenly making your gazebo usable for nighttime soirees and dinners. Consider adding a gazebo chandelier to finish the magical effect. 


  1. Outdoor Stair and Balcony Lights - These types of lights often go overlooked, but can greatly increase safety as well as ambiance for outdoor living. Whether your deck stair lights are attached to each stair riser to create a guided footpath down the stairs or strung above or below a balcony, they are great lower light options that add visibility and charm to your backyard. 


  1. Patio Lamps - Outdoor floor lamps are perfect for a small evening gathering, large family barbecues, or winter fire pit s'mores sessions, as they are moveable and bring a lot of extra light to your space. Want to highlight a new tree or water feature? Many outdoor lamps are movable,  providing you with the ability to change up the lighting around your yard from season to season - even day to day! 


With a few creative lighting additions, you can quickly update the ambiance and llivabilty of your backyard space for you, family and guests to enjoy.

Xeriscaping: Low-Maintenance Landscaping with Plants Native to Boise, ID

Image
It’s a well-known fact that Boise--the City of Trees--is a desert; we claim a small piece of  the Great Basin Desert, the only “cold” desert in the United States. If you’ve lived here in the Treasure Valley for very long, you are well aware of our frequent droughts, how frequently we discuss the water levels in our reservoirs, and noticed the low-water plants local to our area, including sage brush, bitterbrush, and arrowleaf balsamroot (those yellow, sunflower-like wildflowers you see during springtime hikes in the foothills). Yet, in Boise proper and into our suburbs, there is a stark contrast to the wild flora: green lawns all summer long are the norm, and few plants frequently used in landscaping are indigenous to Idaho. Today on Bella Vista Landscaping's blog, we'll be discussing a style of landscaping that’s rapidly gaining popularity addresses this difference: xeriscaping.  What is xeriscaping?  Xeriscaping is landscaping focused on low maintenance and low water usage.
