Residential Dock Lighting Omaha Nebraska - McKay Landscape Lighting

Being on an unlit dock or near the lake can be dangerous in the dark of night. It can be difficult to see tripping hazards or elevation changes. One misstep could land you in the lake. There is also the risk of hitting the dock with a boat if it's difficult to see. 

Professional landscape lighting helps make areas around your lake home, like the dock, more functional and safe at night. Imagine relaxing on your dock, gazing out onto the lake under the star-filled sky instead of the hot sun. Everything around you is expertly illuminated to provide a wonderful ambiance for your evening enjoyment. You also feel safe navigating it in the dark of night.

We’re sharing how we illuminated this one in Beaver Creek to increase safety and maximize time spent on a dock.

Lighting the boat dock

These high performing LED cascade lights offer excellent illumination for docks and walls. We mounted the solid brass and copper fixture to the pillars and along the inside for an under-dock feature. Since dock lights are exposed to water and need to withstand the harsh elements, we recommend using high-quality materials

The cascade lights installed to the pillars, shine down onto the dock itself to make the area safer. We also installed seat wall lights under the step to mark the elevation change. Illuminating the dock and step will help prevent trips and falls while making the area easier to navigate at night. 

The pleasant under the dock illumination comes from the cascade lights installed along the inside of the landing. The light softly reflects onto the water and adds a great aesthetic effect and visual impact from afar.

Another important aspect of a lakeside lighting design includes seat wall lighting. Our crews expertly installed the same cascade fixture to blend as much as possible with the rock sea wall. The light gently hits the water to create a tremendous effect.
