Painting your beautiful landscape with light

Landscape Lighting Ideas

Gone are the days of shining a spotlight on a tree and calling it landscape lighting. Today, there are so many ways to artistically light your landscaping in a thoughtful way.

 

Here are just some of the types of outdoor landscape lights and techniques that we use in a custom plan.

  • Area Lights: These are used throughout plant beds or can be used along a path.

  • Downlights: A downlight is typically located high on the trunk of a tree or a branch and aimed toward a lawn, plant bed, or path. 

  • Bullet Lights: These lights cast narrow light beams and can be used to spotlight a specimen tree or something else you want to showcase.

  • Well Lights: These are buried in the surface of the ground so light is visible without seeing the fixture. This can be a way to uplight a tree. It can also create some gorgeous shadowing effects from the tree itself.  

  • Niche Lights: These are specific fixtures for a specific application such as a wrought iron fence, fireplace, retaining wall, etc.

These are just some landscape lighting ideas. While there are many companies that are limited to a few simple techniques, you want to choose a company that will harness all of their creativity into creating a design that is unique to your landscape.
