How to originally decorate and illuminate garden paths?

With the arrival of the spring and summer seasons, gardeners begin tidying up their gardens. They plant flowers and trees, remove last year's weeds, and landscape the area. Along with this, the question arises of how to creatively decorate and illuminate garden paths. It's important to be able to see where to go at night. Landscape designers suggest using fluorescent paints and luminescent powders. You can apply them yourself, without the need for assistance.

Design options

Large plots of land often lack sufficient lighting to allow safe nighttime movement. Landscape designers have come up with a solution to this problem without incurring large financial costs.

The advantage of luminescent powder and luminescent paint is that once dry, it leaves no marks on clothing or skin. It's safe and harmless to humans and animals. You can purchase it at a hardware store or specialty online store, or you can make your own.

Technique for applying a luminous coating

Applying the coating is easy, but basic safety precautions must be followed. It's best to wear protective gloves and plastic goggles. Smooth pebbles, gravel, crushed stone, paving stones, curbs, and road surfaces are all suitable for painting.

You can apply luminescent powder or fluorescent paints using a regular paintbrush, a spray gun, or a pouring method. When using the material, follow these guidelines:

• the coating surface must be clean and dry;
• It is better to use a brush for larger objects;
• The pouring method is suitable for covering a large volume of small stones in a short time;
• When using a spray bottle, the dye is used more economically.

After dipping the small stones into the luminescent powder, mix them thoroughly. If coverage is incomplete, add more material little by little. While spraying sparingly is important, stir the pebbles constantly. Once all the elements have been painted, let them dry. It's important to keep them out of direct sunlight.

Stylishly arranged multicolored pebbles along garden paths, near a pond, or benches. The iridescent outlines of benches and illuminated outdoor planters are an original way to decorate your property. Using a fluorescent or luminescent light is very simple. The result is a soft night glow that's pleasing to the eye, without disturbing the harmony of the twilight.
