Landscape Lighting

Have you spent countless hours cultivating the beautiful landscape at your Western North Carolina home? From vibrant native species like rhododendrons and azaleas to majestic oaks and maples, and a stunning array of decorative shrubs and flowers, your hard work deserves to be celebrated. With the Asheville area's finest landscape lighting, you can experience the magic of your property after sunset. Illuminate your stunning creations and bask in the warm glow of expertly designed lighting, bringing your landscape to life even after the sun goes down.

A well-designed landscape lighting plan incorporates a diverse array of lighting elements to create visual depth, striking contrasts, and enhance both safety and security throughout your property. The following techniques are integral to achieving these goals.

Directional Tree Lighting:

Uplighting trees adds a dramatic flair, creating a striking focal point within your landscape lighting design. In contrast, downlighting offers a softer, more subtle illumination, fostering an inviting and relaxing outdoor living space. These techniques can be effectively combined on the same tree for a dynamic effect or employed independently on different trees to achieve a balanced and harmonious overall look.

Uplighting:

By strategically placing fixtures around the tree base and utilizing appropriate lens angles, our installers can achieve a variety of stunning lighting effects. We carefully assess the unique characteristics of each tree and shrub within your landscape to determine the most effective lighting approach.

Silhouette Lighting:

Highlight the intriguing shape of an object by casting light onto a vertical surface behind it. This creates a dramatic silhouette, drawing attention to its form.

Downlighting:

Downlighting makes a space inviting and delightful for social gatherings. It creates a special experience without the lighting itself being obvious. Often we will utilize structures such as the house or arbors and pergolas to affix down light fixtures. With a tall tree, downlighting can simulate the impression of moonlight and, with a gentle breeze, you will be able to see the shadows of branches and leaves at play on the ground.

Shadowing:

By emphasizing the textures, shapes, and varying heights of plants within the beds, this technique creates visual depth and ambiance.
