Landscape Lighting Techniques
​
We can use many different methods of lighting to achieve the perfect ambiance for your home and space.
Wall-Washing
Delivers a subtle, low amount of light to a wide area, up close to a structure, with minimal hot spots
Grazing
Adds depth and dimension to stucco, brick, stonework or architectural features of a home
Silhouette Lighting
Draw attention to an interesting shape by lighting a vertical surface behind the object to accent the unique shape
Cross Lighting
Using two or three beams of light, it creates 360- degree visual interest on large trees, statues or other tall fixtures
Accent Lighting
Shines light upward to illuminate an object or surface for dramatic, attention-getting visuals
Shadowing
A technique that projects the look of a tree or yard art onto a surface behind the object
Mirror Lighting
Create dream-like water scenes by strategically lighting background areas around bodies of water that reflect the landscape off the water
Moon Lighting
Placing a lower lumen fixture high in a tree catches all the details of the branches and leaves, emulating the look of moonlight
Underwater and Water Accent
Enhance and highlight flowing water in waterfalls, streams and fountains. Create a magical mirroring effect on still waters
Path and Spread Lighting
Illuminate sidewalks, stone pathways and lawn walkways while adding a hint of intrigue to boulders and plant beds
Deck and Patio Lighting
Accentuate all of the beauty and detail of decks, patios, and outdoor kitchens, steps and handrails
In-Ground Lighting
Deliver light to permanent and semi-permanent installations such as sidewalks, large trees, walls and flag poles
Xeriscape Lighting
Cacti, grasses and the stone used in xeriscape designs can benefit from a lower lumen illumination than traditional landscaping
Hardscape Lighting
Highlight stone features, retaining walls, outdoor kitchens, steps, handrails, benches and more
