When it comes to designing a landscape lighting system, there are two main design elements to consider: functional lighting and aesthetic lighting.
The use of path or area lights is an excellent way to create an inviting walkway throughout your property.
Your yard has many hazards that can be lit to improve safety for your family and guests. Illuminating steps or ledges brings awareness to the hazards while also making a striking impact.
A well lit home or property adds another layer of security to your premises.
Up lighting is an effective way to highlight trees. The bark and foliage of the tree pops against the night backdrop.
Down lighting or moon lighting is a way to create interesting shadow affects on the ground below trees or similar features.
A wall shadow effect is achieved by shining light through plants that are adjacent to a wall or structure. The results are fascinating.
Landscape lighting is not restricted to plants and walkways. Up lighting or wall washing your home's exterior is a very easy way to create a wow factor.
Your pond or waterfall may be the focal point of your yard during the day; however, this feature disappears at night. With pond lighting you can create an entirely new look to enjoy.
With the growing popularity of backyard putting greens and sport courts, many overlook an opportunity to showcase these areas at night. Illuminating sport landscaping showcases an entertainment area well after the sun goes down.
