Lighting It Up.

One important, but often overlooked, element of a complete landscape design is lighting.  When you make the decision to illuminate your landscape, you are using light for a variety of reasons.  Landscape lighting has functional and a visually stimulating purpose, with different goals.

Functional lighting is important in terms of landscape use and security.  When adding lighting for security, it's important to do so tastefully and with balance.  It should illuminate quietly, but provide safety and security to the homeowner and to guests navigating through your landscape in the evenings.   

When deciding where to place landscape lighting, consider targeting walkways, pathways, steps, water features, pools, decks, patios and any areas that might be considered a tripping hazard.  Keep the brightness low, but a touch of drama, done correctly, will make your landscape the envy of the block.

Pool lighting.  The right lighting is important in the pool and around the pool.

  2. Two main purposes of landscape lighting are safety and aesthetics. A well-lighted property can act as deterrent for thieves. For aesthetics purpose, light can accentuate the unique features of your place, like the pool, walkway, arch and more. ->Allison Shallenberger

  5. This type of lighting is decorative but can also be functional: lighting pathways and driveways for safety while walking or driving, or to provide added security around the perimeter of the property.
