Tips
Be considerate of your neighbours.
Don’t position your lights to shine into
their homes or yards, or interfere with
their lighting schemes. Avoid aiming a
spotlight directly into your patio seating
area; no one wants to be put “on stage.”
Experiment with positioning by using
flashlights before installing more permanent
fixtures. This highlights how different
effects can be achieved and which
landscape features you might choose to
highlight or avoid. View your positioning
from inside and outside your home.
Outdoor lighting visions can be enjoyed
while entertaining inside.
Position plain spotlights in your garden
so that plants or rocks hide the light
source. Focus on the effect, not the
source.
Be careful with your use of coloured
lights, as they may create an artificial
atmosphere and the hues can grow tiresome
very quickly.

Cindy’s garden
Balance
When lighting your outdoor space for
effect, you only need to enhance the night
sky. Don’t flood your yard with light. It is
important to balance the amount of illumination
throughout the yard to avoid
jarring the senses. The saying “less is
more” applies to garden lighting, so try to
create a small amount of light and shadow
within the mystery of the darkness.
