Planning your landscape lighting
A plan, not lights placed at random
We balance practical needs with beauty, so the yard looks natural, not forced.
Design first
Planned placement
Experimenting with placement creates effects like a highlighted tree or dramatic shadows.
LED fixtures
Save energy, last long
Fixtures that are both stylish and functional, and easy to keep up.
No overlighting
Timers and dimmers
Mixed light levels add depth, and timers change the lighting by time or event.
Warm or cool
Color temperature
Warm light for a cozy feel, cool tones for summer nights, adjusted by season or event.
Uplight and shadow
Features that stand out
Uplighting trees and sculptures, and shadowing walls, shows off design details.
Water features
Ponds and fountains
Lit water features become the highlight of the yard after dark.
Aim to mix artificial light with moonlight. Lights should accentuate the yard, not dominate it.
