Pumas, while fierce, should not be a problem as long as people or domestic animals are around. That said, any landscaping light should ward off pumas.

Hi there. On Common Ground Landscapes uses a small bunch of electricians depending on where each job may be located. Happy to talk about future ideas if needed. Please let me know.

I work closely with my electrician to create the best lighting for all jobs.

The back wall is an existing industrial brick wall.

The garden bed (wall) are rendered brick, painted white.

The bench seat was fixed onto a steel frame . It was connected through the garden bed, onto the brick wall behind it. It was anchored on to the wall with a 100 x 100 x 6mm right angle steel.

Chairs? - First, this is a great combination of built in benches and chairs/table. Do you know who makes the chairs? Love the teak (?) and white woven material.

What Houzz contributors are saying:

Laura Gaskill added this to 10 Ways to Enjoy Your Outdoor Room More
10. Boost lighting for nighttime. The right lighting can make even the simplest outdoor space really come alive at night. Try placing lighting under a bench seat for a subtle illumination, make a ring of lanterns on the grass around your dining table or hang strings of lights overhead. Landscape lighting placed farther away in the garden will make the space seem larger and more mysterious.
Annie Thornton added this to 10 Great Ways to Unplug and Tune In to Nature
Move living outside. Reimagine the patio as an outdoor living room. Turn the deck into the dining room for the evening. Instead of watching TV in the evening, play charades. If you like to eat around the coffee table in the den, sit around a low table for dinner outside. While you don’t necessarily want to duplicate indoor living outside, try to establish that same relaxed and comfortable feeling. See more: 10 Ways to Enjoy Your Outdoor Room More
