The beauty of landscape lighting, controlled by your mobile phone.

Enjoy your outdoors like never before

The popularity of outdoor living has brought a new focus to outdoor lighting. We see your home as a canvas, to which we ‘paint’ with light. The goal is to add just the right amount of light to pathways, add drama to plants and trees and to highlight the architectural details of your home. To illuminate your outdoors properly, we use a variety of fixtures and techniques specialized for each application. Here are a few:

– Accent or Spot Lighting
Spotlights focus a controlled beam to highlight the focal points.
– Grazing
Positioning the light close to an interesting surface can bring out the texture of tree bark, a masonry wall, wood shingles or an attractive door.
– Shadowing
Lights the object from the front and below to project intriguing shadows on the wall or other vertical surfaces.
– Uplighting
Lights aimed upwards (sometimes buried in the ground) create a highly dramatic effect akin to the theater.
– Moonlighting
Like downlighting, but using soft light positioned very high up simulates the effect of moonlight filtering through branches, casting shadow patterns.
