Lighting That Changes Everything

Outdoor lighting is one of the most underrated ways to transform your backyard. With the right lighting plan, your space becomes safer, warmer, and more functional — not just on summer nights, but year-round. We use low-voltage LED systems to softly illuminate pathways, stairs, deck posts, and landscape features without overpowering your yard. It’s about enhancing what’s already beautiful while creating visibility and security. Whether you're relaxing on the deck, walking the dog, or hosting friends, you’ll appreciate how much more inviting and usable your yard becomes with proper lighting.

Our Design + Build Process

As a leading North Idaho deck builder, we follow a detailed process to ensure your outdoor space is built to last:

Reach Out! Use our contact form or email directly to office@woodoutdoorliving.com. Include your wishlist, budget, timeline, and any other details you want us to consider. Within 48 hours, we will contact you to gather a site survey and any additional information to better understand your project before any in person visits. This helps us ensure we are fully prepared to meet your needs and expectations.

After reviewing your survey from the initial consultation, we'll schedule a site visit. During this visit, we'll introduce ourselves, see the project site, answer any additional questions you may have, and gather measurements and photos needed to complete your design. This step ensures that we have all the necessary information to proceed with your project while adhering to local jurisdiction regulations.

A thoughtfully designed project proposal and rendering will be sent to you via email. The proposal will include a job contract, material selections, and optional add-ons for your approval. We offer up to three revisions to ensure the design meets your expectations. Once the design and all selections have been approved and the deposit has been paid, we’ll schedule your project on the Wood Outdoor Living calendar and begin the permitting process.

Initial payment is due two weeks prior to your project start date. During the build, materials will be delivered directly to the jobsite by our suppliers.

As applicable, a tool trailer, dumpster, and any other essential equipment will be stored onsite for the duration of the project. Please ensure there is adequate accessibility to accommodate them and note that access to onsite power will also be required. Progress payments will be accepted as outlined in the payment terms.

Strategic, Seamless, Smart.

We don’t just install lights — we design them into your space. That means evaluating key sight-lines, activity zones, and focal points so each fixture does its job without drawing too much attention. We integrate lighting into stairs, under capstones, along retaining walls, and in landscaping beds for subtle illumination that enhances rather than distracts. Our systems can be put on timers, motion sensors, or smart controls — giving you the freedom to automate or control your lighting from your phone. We also ensure all wiring is discreet and durable, built to withstand the elements without cluttering your yard.

Extend Your Outdoor Season

In a place like Coeur d’Alene, where the seasons are beautiful but nights get dark early, lighting lets you keep using your yard well beyond sunset. It brings dimension to your landscape, highlights architectural details, and makes your home feel more secure. And when done right, it adds serious curb appeal. Whether we’re tying into an existing patio or designing an entirely new system, outdoor lighting helps you get more from the space you already love — while making it safer, more stylish, and more inviting.

Outdoor lighting isn’t just about seeing where you’re going — it’s about setting the mood, adding security, and extending your time outside well into the evening. From pathway lights and stair illumination to accent lighting on architectural features and plants, great lighting turns your backyard into a nighttime retreat. At Wood Outdoor Living, we use high-quality, low-voltage fixtures that are designed for beauty, performance, and longevity. We create lighting plans that match how you use the space, whether you’re entertaining, relaxing, or simply enjoying the view.
