How Much Lighting

By admin | October 23, 2008

For typical suburban gardens, one or two small floodlight fittings mounted on the back wall of the house will privide enought light for moving about safely and enable a patio area to be used for barbecues. However, much more can be done to highlight aspects of the garden plan or planting and make the garden more fascinating at night.

Focal points such as sculptures and fountains can look particularly effective when well lit. Remember, though, even when aiming for dramatic effects, subtlety is important. it is very easy to be over enthusiastic and overdo the lighting, ending up with something glaring and uncomfortable.
