Do you want this light fixture to be attached to any existing structure in the yard, or do you want it free-standing (on the lawn, or beside a walkway).?
Is the underground electricity already in place nearby to the spot where you would like the yard light?
If there is no electricity in the yard you may be able to use solar lights. Can you tell us a little more about the plan?
What type of illumination are you looking for?
Do you want to put up some clear party lights installed on posts to line a gathering or entertainment area or do you want to use solar lights to frame a walkway. Some more information might be helpful to get you the most acceptable and helpful answer.

Amazon offers stick on outdoor lights that come with or without motion sensors, also ones that use solar energy:

you would need electricity and not plan on using extension cords for this project if you are wanting like a lamp in your yard- you can call either your electric or gas company and have one installed and they just bill you monthly for it - or call an electrician to help you out

Are you wanting this light to be a permanent fixture in your yard, or just for a temporary occasion?
permanent fixture. I already have LED wiring in the area.
