Techniques Our skilled lighting designers take into account the structure of your home and it's best features.  There are a variety of fixtures to choose from, and choosing the right one is what we do best.

Spot Lighting
Focus an intense beam of light on a particular subject. This technique is best used to highlight statuary or special architecture in your landscape.

Silhouetting
Lighting of the vertical surface behind the subject highlights its shape. Use this technique when you have trees, plants, or other garden elements that have unique branching structures. You accomplish this by placing light fixture behind the subject.

Shadowing
This technique casts a shadow on a vertical surface behind the subject by placing a fixture directly in front of the subject. Use this technique to highlight interesting or unusual branch patterns of trees or plants.

Grazing
A light is placed within six to eight inches of a façade and aimed 90º vertically. This technique will bring out the beauty in the texture of all kinds of surfaces. It works particularly well on stone and brick walls.

Moon Lighting
Down-lighting from within the foliage of a tree simulates the light of a full moon. This dappled light can be used to light paths, garden beds, or any other garden feature below.

Tree Lighting
Up lighting from the base of the tree is a great way to highlight its foliage. The location of light fixture will depend on the density of the foliage and the flowering pattern within the canopy. You can also combine the up lights with lights within the tree canopy for a more uniform illumination of the foliage.

Path Lighting
Shielded fixtures create symmetrical light patterns that illuminate pathways, walkways, and steps. These fixtures add safety, security, and visibility at during night navigation.

Spread Lighting
