The texture and colors of plantings draw the eye, and how shade is thrown across the yard and the movement of trees bring the personality of your yard to life. The Fan District courtyards and large West End landscapes have intricate landscaping and gardens, so our custom lighting approach is perfect to highlight the intricacies. If your home is near the James, you might have garden beds tucked under backyard trees or maybe lining a path to a private dock. The garden opportunities are endless, so opting for garden lighting in Richmond, VA will elevate your outdoor space day and night.
Garden Lighting for Richmond, VA Homes Should Highlight Every Layer
Garden lighting for Richmond, VA homes starts with our designers having a solid idea of how your landscaping is arranged. Many gardens include more than perennial flowers lining a front yard bed. We can create the best lighting scenes when we know the layers your yard has. This could mean low-growing plants, ornamental shrubs, winding pathways, trees, and other features you want to highlight.
We never want the lighting to distract from the natural beauty of your yard; rather, our designs will illuminate and be practical. We can install low-profile fixtures along pathways and garden beds, so they illuminate without distracting. Uplighting is a great choice to highlight a favorite tree or garden structure. Using uplighting in garden designs can be a great complement to architectural lighting on the structure of your home.
