Illumination on a Deck
🥉 Third Place
Techwood Decks
This project is a complete backyard transformation designed to bring outdoor living to life — beautifully illuminated in every detail.
When the homeowner first approached us, the yard had potential but lacked warmth and function. Our vision went beyond pavers: we created a large, multi-level deck that connects all areas of the property, blending structure, nature, and light.
Lighting became the soul of this design. LED step lights highlight every level with a soft, elegant glow, while colored lights accent the plants and landscaping. The existing tree was illuminated to create a stunning focal point — adding that special touch that makes the space magical at night.
We also added round recessed lights directly into the decking boards, giving the deck a floating effect. The custom outdoor kitchen is fully illuminated, making it both functional and dramatic after dark.
During the day, the homeowners can relax and enjoy the open space — and when night falls, the party doesn’t have to stop.
