Garden lighting guide for summer – how to
enhance your features
Almost all gardens have a feature that dominates the landscape,
whether it be a tree, an ornament or even a water fountain! So, why not use
lighting to enhance this feature? Use ground-based spotlighting to highlight
key areas that you want visitors to notice!
Manipulate the space
Ask any expert about garden lighting techniques and they will
mostly discuss layers. By carefully planning out where to position your
lighting, you can do wonders to the space! Use your lighting to create a
striking contrast between light and dark areas, making small gardens appear
bigger and adding depth to large landscapes.

Concealment
Did you know that lighting elements from behind can have a huge
impact on your garden? Create an heir of mystery by placing your lighting
behind your flowers, ornaments and more. It’s a great way to highlight your
garden if you don’t people to see the lighting fixtures themselves.
Shape and form
How you layout your lighting can also influence how it directs the
shape of objects. By placing your lighting in front of flowers and shrubs, you
can create beautiful shadows in the evening that add more depth to the space.
This is a great idea if you would like to change the mood in the evening!
Direction
Not only can you use lighting to change the shapes in your garden,
but also to direct those who visit! Think about the areas you want people to
notice more, walkways you’d like them to stick to and plan around that.
