Outdoor Lighting Installation in SilverLeaf

Step lights, seat-wall lights and ceiling lights for SilverLeaf homes with our licensed electrical partner.

Lighting is what makes a backyard usable and beautiful after sunset, and it's easiest to get right when it's designed with the hardscape and structures. AY Luxury Designs designs and installs outdoor lighting for homeowners in SilverLeaf, planned in AutoCAD and installed with our licensed electrical partner.

Lighting a SilverLeaf Backyard

Ceiling lights. Recessed or ceiling lights in a gazebo, cover or A-frame.
Kitchen task lighting. Light where you cook and serve, without glare in your eyes.
Tree uplights. Uplights in the canopy add depth to the whole yard.
Step and path lights. Light where people walk so the yard is safe after dark.

UF/IFAS notes that warm-white LEDs below about 3600K are harder for insects to see, while cooler-white bulbs attract more bugs.

SilverLeaf Planning Notes for Your Outdoor Lighting Design

Village-level guidelines can apply in SilverLeaf on top of the master guidelines. Most SilverLeaf homes are new, and the standard builder lanai is usually the first thing families want to extend or screen. New-build backyards are often dark after sunset, so lighting is usually part of the first project.

Every light should have a job. We start from where you walk and sit and add fixtures only where they help. Before we draw an outdoor lighting design in SilverLeaf, we check where the panel is and how far runs go, what switches and dimmers you want and whether wires can run before new pavers go down. The wiring is handled with our licensed electrical partner and inspected with the rest of the project.

DarkSky International recommends aiming outdoor lights downward with shielding, using timers or motion sensors, and choosing warmer colors where possible.

Approvals and Permits in SilverLeaf

SilverLeaf reviews additions for placement, materials and colors, and village rules can add to that. Lighting is sometimes part of HOA review, usually for fixture style and light spilling toward neighbors. Confirm current guidelines with your association.

SilverLeaf homes are permitted by St. Johns County. The County requires a building permit for most improvements and, in most cases, a clearance sheet before it accepts the application, and registered architectural review associations are notified automatically when exterior work is filed.
