A garden after dark, designed to be just as beautiful.

We specify LED throughout — for longevity, energy efficiency, and the quality of light they produce. Colour temperature for outdoor use is typically 2700K to 3000K: warm enough to feel inviting, cool enough to render plant colours accurately at night. We specify IP65-rated fixtures for ground and planting areas, and IP44 or higher for covered but exposed positions. We avoid decorative fixtures that prioritise appearance over performance and specify fittings that will last a minimum of ten years in outdoor conditions.

Via the home’s existing electrical supply, through exterior-rated conduit run during the hardscape or planting phase. We coordinate lighting cable routes with the hardscape installation so conduit is buried before paths are laid — not cut into them afterwards. We work alongside your electrical contractor and provide a complete lighting layout with fixture positions, cable routes, switching zones, and dimmer requirements. For new builds, we engage from the structure stage so conduit is cast into floors and walls.

Yes — we design outdoor lighting schemes for existing gardens regularly. The approach is different from a new garden: we work around existing planting and hardscape, minimising disruption while maximising the effect. In most cases, surface-mounted conduit can be run along wall bases and concealed in planting beds without disturbing mature plants. The result is indistinguishable from a scheme that was designed from scratch.

Yes — outdoor lighting is available as a standalone service and as an integrated element of our full landscape design projects. It works particularly well alongside our water feature and pergola design services, where lighting is an integral part of the finished experience. We design the lighting scheme in parallel with the planting and hardscape so every layer is considered together from the start.
