Landscape lighting design is more than just functional; it’s a way to create ambiance, mood, and enchantment. The moonlight technique is a popular method used by landscape architects and designers to create a captivating, warm glow that resembles a moonlit night. Instead of harsh, direct lighting, this approach uses gentle pools of light to highlight the landscape’s key features while preserving the nighttime’s mystery and tranquility.

However, not all trees are suitable for moonlighting. The tree must have ample height and branches and foliage in abundance. These Specialty fixtures are installed 30’–50’ into the tree canopy with the light spread downward, casting light through the tree structure, and creating an array of shadows blended with light. The result of this technique is like a bright full moon shining through your trees, even when there is not a full moon!

In conclusion, landscape lighting is a powerful tool for sculpting space, eliciting emotion, and enhancing the look of your property and gardens.
