Lights, camera, action!
Every situation is different and your garden will have special aspects that can be highlighted with the right lighting. Different types of light fittings produce different effects. For instance:
Low voltage halogen systems for small to medium items, such as plants, small to medium trees, ponds, and ornaments.
Metal halide light fittings for larger items like large trees and facets of your house.
Light Emitting Diode (LED) lighting is great for decking, walkways and paths.
Fibre optic lighting gives swimming pools and ponds dramatic effect and is also good for walkways.
Here are a few of our most popular garden light ranges:
Hunza, Megabay, Green Island, Martin Müller, Konstmide, JCC.
Garden light switches
The switches you can use for your lighting switches are also varied and flexible. When you work with us to design your garden we'll choose switches that take into consideration their suitability for the task and your needs. For instance:
Traditional garden light switches can be placed in a suitable position inside your home.
Remote control switching is very popular for the gadget lover.
Scene settings - offer a different intensity of light according to any given situation and requirement. This gives you total control over the lights.
Movement sensors that turn the lights on when people are about, these are great for security too.
Dusk to dawn sensors - you can safely ignore your lighting, it will turn itself on when the light gets below a set level.
Seasonally intelligent timers that take into account the time of year and provide appropriate lighting.
If you want to talk to us about what you want, we're happy to come along and give you a free consultation.

Obviously you will have your own ideas - take a look at the pictures on this site to get an idea of what can be achieved. You can create a subtle, dramatic or even stunning transformation of your garden.
Look at these examples:
Garden Uplighting - emphasise trees and plants with an discreetly placed light. The result can be anything from subtle (with the use of glare guards and louvers) to very dramatic.
Washing - give plain walls a soft warm texture and emphasise any climbing plants.
Down lighting - spotlights mounted at a height create a pool of light onto seating or eating areas, patios and drives. Or they can be used simply to show off your favourite plants and flower beds.
Moonlighting - spotlights with varying sizes of lamps, placed in trees to shine down through leafy branches, give an interesting shimmering shadow on the ground.
Mirroring - A mirror image can be created on a pool of water. This could be a reflection of a statue, a tree or even your dining area.
Shadowing - Trees, plants and ornaments can be illuminated to create soft romantic shadows on walls.
Underwater lighting - Create an exciting and eerie effect in moving water, such as your waterfall or fountain, even the rippled effect caused by wind on a pool can have a mystical appearance. A pond covered in ice in winter looks stunning with underwater lighting!
Step lights - Illuminate your walkways for safety.
