Landscape Lighting
Low-voltage lighting designed for the evening garden — enough light to move safely and see the trees, and not one lumen more.
Most of the year, you see your garden at the end of the day rather than the middle of it. Lighting is what makes those hours count — a walkway you can read underfoot, a specimen tree lit from below, a terrace that stays usable after dinner.
We plan lighting the way we plan planting: restrained, layered and specific to the site. Fixtures are placed to reveal what's worth seeing and stay hidden themselves, aimed to avoid glare into the house or a neighbor's window, and kept to warm, low-level output that respects night skies and nocturnal wildlife.
Older Triangle neighborhoods — Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill and Cary alike — come with willow oaks, hickories and loblolly pines already in place, and those trees are usually the best thing to light. On close-set lots we keep fixtures shielded and zoned so the canopy reads from the street without washing out the house next door.
What lighting adds
- Path and step lighting for safe footing after dark
- Uplighting for specimen trees and garden structure
- Architectural and facade washing
- Patio, terrace and gathering-space lighting
- Low-voltage LED systems on timers and zones
- Warm, shielded fixtures that limit glare and light spill
The result is a landscape with a second life — the same garden, quieter and more sculptural, for the half of the year you come home in the dark.
