While landscape and lighting can draw attention to a home’s architectural features, they can also enhance a property’s ambiance. Accent lighting draws attention to specific objects or features, such as a statue, fountain, or tree. A well light can beautifully emphasize a tree or plant, while a directional luminary draws attention to a staircase or stone wall. In addition, lanterns and directional lighting can highlight a particular object or area. Accent lighting helps draw attention to architectural details, while deck and step lights provide safe passage on dark stairs. These lights are installed in the yard’s hardscape. Another primary type of landscape lighting is known as uplighting. Uplighting creates drama, particularly on taller structures. It can also highlight the trunk of a tall tree and the underside of its canopy. It can also highlight dramatic shapes that are hidden in the daylight. Uplighting is positioned behind the item, so the light source is hidden from view.
