Illuminate Your Outdoors with Purpose and Style
Our custom outdoor lighting solutions add beauty, safety, and ambiance to your backyard. From deck lighting and pathway lights to landscape accents and uplighting, we design lighting systems that enhance your space and extend its use well into the evening. Built to handle North Idaho’s climate, our installations are efficient, durable, and thoughtfully placed to highlight your home’s best features.
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.

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.
As a trusted North Idaho deck builder, we proudly serve Coeur d’Alene, Post Falls, Hayden, Rathdrum, and surrounding areas—bringing high-quality decks and outdoor spaces to homeowners across the region.
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.
