Landscape lighting enhances outdoor space

Landscape lighting can enhance your residential outdoor living space or commercial landscaping. Even a little lighting can go a long way toward highlighting your landscape features and improving your curb appeal.

Outdoor lighting showcases beautiful landscape design and adds depth and dimension to your business or home in the twilight and evening hours. In addition, you add safety and security to dimly lit areas.

Landscape lighting options to highlight features

There are a variety of lightscaping options in the Naples and Fort Myers, FL area, depending on what you want to accomplish. No matter if your goal is security or beautification, or both, you have several ways to achieve your goal.

Here are a few landscape lighting options you may want to consider.

·      Uplighting: A common type of lighting you see outside businesses, resorts and even homes, is uplighting. Uplighting creates a dramatic effect highlighting interesting trees, statues or textured walls.

·      Downlighting: You can also choose the opposite of uplighting, which, of course, is downlighting. Downlighting, or area lighting, involves mounting lights in trees or on a house or building to illuminate wide areas such as flowerbeds, paths or steps.

·      Accent or Spot Lighting: Accent, or spot lighting, focuses a controlled intense beam of light to highlight focal points such as flowers, small shrubs and statues in a garden.

·      Pool and Fountain lighting: Lighting in or around pools and fountains creates dramatic effects as the water reflects the light.

There are other lighting options that can add depth and dimension. You can learn more about those by reading, “Landscape lighting adds dimension.”
