Landscape Lighting
Let There Be LightThe
basics of landscape lighting
Landscape
lighting is all about the artistry of light. Whether subtle or dramatic, it
creates a different kind of beauty, one built on the way light and shadow play
together. It turns the ordinary into the extraordinary—just like on a theater
stage. The right landscape lighting allows you to showcase beautiful trees and
garden elements, but, at the same time, lets you control what you don’t want
people to see by leaving some things dark. From a practical standpoint, it
provides security and safe access and is often recommended as a relatively
inexpensive way to increase your property value.For the homeowners’
pleasure as well as guests, landscape lighting acknowledges and addresses the
fact that, for about 30 percent of the time, your landscape is viewed at night.
“Since so many people work and don’t come home until after dark, landscape
lighting means homeowners can still enjoy their outdoor property, whenever they
get home,” says Jeff Halper of Exterior Worlds. “It turns the landscape into a
24-hour event.”
