LIGHTING DESIGN
There’s nothing quite as welcoming as an evening garden with perfect lighting. It’s an essential feature that lets you extend your entertaining or relaxation – or just be able to admire your garden features from inside your home. Lighting design is an integral part of a landscaping design plan, and we work with you to create the perfect effects.
General lighting
In general, garden lighting design has three main impacts:
- Security and safety lighting
- Detail and task lighting
- Ambient lighting
We will usually build all these types of lighting into your garden to create the perfect effect. Security and safety lighting is critical near your property or access areas and in places where personal safety is important, such as on steps, or around your pool.
Detail and task lighting
Detail and task lighting is perfect for illuminating sculptures, feature planting or water features, lighting walkways and for areas like outdoor kitchens and bars. Ambient lighting helps to warm the garden, creating a glowing atmosphere, and giving different areas of your garden appropriate moods.
Lighting technology in your garden
Just like your home, we can develop a lighting plan that can be divided into zones and controlled by an app on your phone. This allows you to have complete control over the look and feel of your garden once the natural light gets low. Turn up the illumination in your seating area for big parties or gatherings, or dim the lights in the pool for chilled late-night swims. Because we specify lighting at durable SP65+ rating, you can be confident in its durability and performance all year round.
Wherever you live, we also take light pollution into account, so that your garden lighting is designed to minimise any impact on wildlife - or your neighbours.
We have access to a wide range of contemporary and traditional garden lighting options, working with leading exterior lighting brands to make sure you get the highest quality lighting that enhances your garden design.
