Landscape Lighting
Pathway
Pathway lighting is a technique that not only illuminates a pathway or staircase but will also accentuate adjacent plantings and garden features. These lights usually consist of a lighting fixture on a stem or bollard so the light shines down and not upwards towards the spectator.
Hardscape
Hardscape lighting is used to accent stone features, retaining walls, outdoor kitchens, steps, benches and more. Quite modest and slim in design, they provide an inexpensive way to add an elegant ambiance to any outdoor space.
Accent
Accent lighting is an important technique when it comes to highlighting elements such as pillars, trees or stonework. It is achieved by using discreet accent lights which are often referred to as spotlights.
Wall Wash
This technique will light up a large area while delivering a subtle, low amount of light, up close to the structure, with minimal hot spots and density.
Grazing
Grazing is utilized to add depth and dimension tostucco, brick, stonework or architectural features of a home or building by installing an in-ground light close to the building façade.
In Ground
Deliver light to permanent and semi-permanent installations by installing landscape lighting within any surface such as sidewalks, decks or garden beds to highlight large mature trees, walls and landscape features.
Shadow Lighting
This lighting technique directs the eye to the textures, shapes and height differences of items in plant beds, adding depth and ambiance to your landscape by showcasing the shadow of the feature itself.
Silhoutte
Draw attention to an interesting shape by lighting a vertical surface behind the object to accent that unique shape.
Mirror
Create dream-like water scenes by strategically lighting background areas around water bodies by reflecting the landscape, creating a gentle experience especially in the evening.
Underwater
Underwater lighting will accentuate the flowing water in waterfalls, streams and fountains, creating a magical effect as well as a mirroring effect on still waters. Effective lighting in this area will enhance the landscape that surrounds it even more.
Patio & Deck
Various styles of recessed or surface mounted lighting can accentuate the beauty and details of decks, patios, outdoor kitchens, steps, handrails and other vertical features. There are many options of finishes to choose from including stainless, chrome and copper.
Moon
Moon lighting is achieved by placing a fixture high in a tree which shines down, catching the details of branches and leaves, emulating the look of moonlight.
