You don’t need to travel to a resort to feel like you’re on vacation. The right backyard oasis lighting can bring that feeling home. After dark, soft light turns a pool, patio and garden into a private retreat. Here’s how Lite Visions creates it.
What makes backyard oasis lighting feel like a resort?
Resorts rarely flood their grounds with bright light. Instead, they use soft, layered light that feels calm and inviting. We design the same way. Our effects are soft, never overpowering. Our signature look is warm 2700K light at low levels, with no glare.
The goal is a space you’ll want to enjoy well into the evening.
Which features should you light to create an oasis?
Every property is different, but a few features almost always shine:
- Pools and water: light reflects on the surface and doubles the effect.
- Patios and fire pits: soft light on seat walls makes gathering spaces feel cozy.
- Trees: gentle uplighting or downlighting gives the yard depth and a ceiling of light.
- Structures: pool houses, pergolas and columns become warm focal points.

How do stage lighting effects help create an oasis?
Joe Yanulevich started lighting bands when he was 18. He went on to spend more than 35 years as a concert lighting designer and lighting technician. His work has also earned Masters of Landscape Lighting recognition.
He brings those experiences and effects to every landscape design. On stage, light sets the mood for a whole show. Outdoors, it sets the mood for your evenings. To learn more, read Stage Lighting Techniques for Landscapes.
What training does Joe bring to your project?
Joe has formal training in 12-volt outdoor lighting technology. He has also completed manufacturer LED training. In addition, he was certified as an electronic technician for automated stage lighting.
How does Lite Visions design your oasis?
We use only the best professional-grade landscape lighting products. Even so, the fixtures are only part of the story. Joe cares about every project as if it were his own, and he adds a personal touch to each one.
Every project starts with a daytime walk of your property. A custom design may take a little more time, and perhaps a few visits. We choose fixtures that let us control both the lumen output and the optics for each spot. After installation, Joe returns at night to fine-tune the aiming.
