If
you are thinking about ways to provide a distinctive effect to your landscape,
adding lighting fixtures is an affordable and creative way. By adding a light system, you can tastefully accent and
highlight selected features of your landscape and improve home security
measures.

| Soft lighting adds warmth and dimension to a landscape. |
One way to incorporate
landscape lighting is through up lighting,
or projecting light upwards to focus on specific objects and plants in the
landscape area. Up lighting accentuates
trees, shrubs, and other plants that stand above the general landscaping plane.
Similarly, down lighting is another lighting
technique that can create unique and dramatic effects. You can achieve a down
lighting effect by mounting flood or spotlights above the landscape line. Down
lighting, sometimes called moonlighting, creates a soft, subtle radiance
throughout specific areas of your yard.
Another approach to enhancing landscape through the
use of light is backlighting, or silhouette lighting. Placing light fixtures between your home’s facade and a particular object causes
the object in front of the lighting to appear as a silhouette. You can also use
backlighting to highlight walls, columns or doorways for further effect.
There are
endless possibilities to incorporate lighting into your overall landscape
design. Integrity Landscape Services has designed and installed lighting approaches
throughout the Milwaukee area and surrounding counties. Enjoy unique results
that fit your budget by integrating lighting effects to your landscape this
season.
I've been wanting to install landscape lighting in my yard after it was recently landscaped. I had no idea there were so many types! Thanks for the definitions and illustrations of the various types of landscape lighting. http://www.kosterstockyard.com

Recently, I have been working on improving my landscape. I think it would be really nice to add some good lighting to make it look great even at night. It is also good to know that soft lighting helps to add dimensions to the landscape. I will have to look into the different benefits of up lighting, down lighting, and backlighting to see which one I want to use. For a larger yard, which option do you think would be best? http://www.orrisontreeandlandscape.com/landscaping.html
