Solar landscape lights are both a decorative and functional part of any outdoor landscaping. The beauty of the exterior design can be enjoyed long after sunset with the illumination provided by solarlights.

When designing a landscape or improving a home's curb appeal, a lighted pathway is one sure way to make the space more attractive. Solar pathway lights can be placed into the ground along a walkway that leads to the front door. Or, pathway lighting can be used to illuminate a winding path through the plants and flowers in a garden. As an alternative to solarlights near the ground, there are lights that can be hung from poles. These can be placed only at the starting point of a walkway or placed in a line along the entire walkway.

Solar landscape lights can be used as a decorative accessory to the landscape design. A rock light or solar spot light placed in the garden can be used to showcase a specific plant or flower. Solar spotlights can be used to illuminate a sitting area in the yard. House numbers, name plates, specific pieces of decorative art or stones with inspirational quotations can be illuminated with solar lights.

Solar landscape lights enhance the appearance of the exterior of a home. The lights come in a variety of styles making it easy to find the perfect design to coordinate with the exterior of the house. Copper and stainless steel solarlights are the most popular choices. To add a touch of whimsy to a landscape, novelty designed solar lights such as lighthouses, turtles and lady bugs are available.

Solar lighting is an energy efficient way to add beauty to the landscape. Solar lights can illuminate a path that leads visitors directly to the front door. They can extend the amount of time someone can enjoy an outdoor garden space and they enhance the curb appeal of a home.
