Patio & Pool

Outdoor living shots: a covered patio beside a spa or small pool, with uplights on narrow evergreens, and a backyard pool under warm bistro lights hung in a large tree.

Bistro lighting leads with a blue pool and fountains under warm string lights, and keeps the fire-pit pool.

More bistro lighting: a courtyard with a stone planter and turf, a covered patio over stone steps, a pool and grill, and trees along a fence.

One pool catches multicolor string lights on the water. A deck tree is wrapped in red, white, and blue beside outdoor seating. That color is for a gathering, not a holiday roofline.

Permanent lighting on the house is separate from seasonal Christmas offers. This set is the patio and the water.
