Pathway & Walkway Lighting
The walk home should feel welcoming after dark. Northline designs pathway lighting around the routes people actually take, including turns, transitions, and connections between the driveway, front door, side gate, and patio.

Make the route through your yard easier to follow
The right approach starts with your property and how you want to use it after dark.
Follow the route
Tell us which walks get used at night. A front entry, a narrow side passage, and a winding garden path each call for a different placement plan.
Leave room for daily use
Fixtures need to work with foot traffic, mowing, snow clearing, and planting growth. We consider access and maintenance when locating lights beside the walk.
Keep light comfortable
The aim is useful illumination on the walking surface without a row of exposed bright points. Fixture style and spacing should suit the path and surrounding landscape.

What to send with your request
Send photos showing the full route, its approximate length, steps or level changes, and any nearby outdoor power.
Include your town or ZIP code so we can discuss the project and scheduling for your address.
Do path lights need to line both sides of a walkway?
Not necessarily. Placement depends on the path width, fixture output, landscaping, and desired look. We review the route before recommending a layout.
