Add Life To Your Landscape

Down Lighting – This involves shining the light downwards. This is a simple technique and can achieve a more natural look for your landscape. Light fixtures can be placed on trees, walls, pathways or under eaves.

Moon lighting – A form of down lighting, this technique is most effective when used on large trees in your garden. The light fixture is placed high up on the tree itself and aimed downwards to create the sense of moonlight shining through them. It mixes the light from overheard and the shadows from the tree’s branches. This technique combined with up lighting can create a striking result.

Wall Washing – If the space requires more ambient lighting, you can try flooding a large wall or surface to cast a uniformed gentle glow over the space. Light fittings such as flood lights and inground lights with a wider beam angle will work for this technique.

Grazing – This technique is used to accentuate the textured surfaces of a home’s façade, columns or walls. The light source is placed within a foot of the surface and aimed parallel to it. It creates shadows and highlights the indentations of the raised areas. This is a good option for homes with irregular and rough patterns to show off your stonework or concrete walls.
