Fall in Southern Georgia is one of the best times of the year to spend evenings outdoors. The weather is cool, the air is crisp, and there’s plenty of reason to hold a party. However, it also tends to get dark early this time of the year. Daylight savings time means the sun is setting early. Rather than having a gathering early in the day or force everyone inside the house to be crowded, check out these fun outdoor lighting tips so you can enjoy your backyard throughout the night.
White Christmas Lights
Who says you have to wait until mid-December to enjoy these tiny lights? If you chose white, you can hang them up early, and leave them up, without looking tacky. They’re the perfect way to have a celebration outdoors after the sun goes down. Bonus: when next Christmas rolls around you’ll be thrilled you don’t need to hang any decorative lights again!
Put Lights in the Trees
In our area, most of our trees stay luscious and green even into Autumn. Use this to your advantage by decorating them in light! One of our favorite ways to decorate your backyard trees is by hanging mason jars with faux candles from sturdy branches. Everyone loves a mason jar: it holds a sense of nostalgia and is a versatile decorating element in any Georgian backyard or garden.
Fence Lights
While some consider putting a few solar lights along the porch ‘landscape lighting’, you can do so much more than that. Instead, strive to create a mood and atmosphere. What better way than hanging them on your wooden fence? Clamp some solar lights onto your fence for easy and rechargeable lights to brighten your whole yard. With various combinations of lighting types and styles, you can turn your daytime yard into something magical at night.
A wood fence is a favorite of homeowners that prefer fencing to blend with the materials in their house and provide a natural look. They’re also perfect for adding to the aesthetic appeal to the home, instead of detracting from it. Classically designed wood fences are beautiful, enduring, affordable and offer a fantastic canvas to add your choice of outdoor lighting to.
Central Fence has been installing these fences to the Swainsboro, GA area for nearly 50 years. Contact us today and discuss how you can have a wooden fence put up in your backyard this fall.
