When designing your new garden, our team aren't only considering the soft and hard landscaping but they're also factoring in lighting solutions to ensure your garden can be enjoyed at any time of the day! 


You may tend to spend more time in your garden during the summer months, where the days are longer and we're blessed with hours of sunlight to brighten our gardens. However, as the evenings close, having a well planned lighting scheme in your garden will mean you can spend more time enjoying it, even when the sun has gone for the day.


Pictured are some beautiful examples of garden lighting our team have implemented into our clients' new gardens. 


The colour of the lighting can change the atmosphere of your space, making it an enjoyable place to relax in - day and night - whether your dining, socialising or simply relaxing. 

Not only does it contribute to the ambiance, but it can also highlight the architectural features of your garden, such as plants, trees, pathways, and water features, creating a visually appealing night-time landscape.

There are multiple ways lighting can be implemented into your garden. For example, having lights to guide you to the pathways and driveways can help with highlighting where to walk at night and can be added as a safety measure. 


For larger areas, floodlights can be installed to provide wider visibility which can also provide added security to your home. A mixture of up lights and down lights can be positioned accordingly to illuminate plants low to the ground and moonlight effects for higher features. 


To create a festival vibe, decorative lights can be used for ambiance and are most suitable for patio areas, pergolas and around trees where you may be hosting sat outside, hosting or dining.  


Modern garden lighting solutions, such as solar-powered lights and LED fixtures, can also be energy-efficient and environmentally friendly, reducing the overall energy consumption of your household.  


Incorporating garden lighting is a worthwhile investment that enhances safety, security, and the aesthetic appeal of your outdoor space. By thoughtfully selecting and placing different types of lighting, you can create a beautiful and functional garden that can be enjoyed at any time of the day or night.
