Hardscape Lighting Design Effects
In the grand scheme of your outdoor landscape or garden project, hardscape lighting design provides the most bang for the buck. An illuminated wall is breathtaking every time you look view it. The low voltage outdoor lighting glow of accent lights along a walkway produces a sense of wonder that really cannot be explained with words. Beyond the objectives of safety, security, and beauty, the addition of lighting to your hardscape wall, steps, driveways and walkways extends the usability time of your outdoor living area.
MPR Supply Has a Variety of Landscape and Hardscape Lighting Products
MPR Supply has a variety of landscape and hardscape lighting design products. Since hardscapes can include a vast variety of surfaces, the techniques used will also vary. This is what makes hardscape design so challenging and rewarding. Several fixture selections include:
Moonlighting. Moonlighting is a great choice for driveways, patios and pathways. It requires the installation of Tree Lights ideally positioned at least 20 ft. above grade projecting through leaves to produce a dappled light. Ideally, such light will extend along the entire length of the driveway.
Grazing. This technique involves the use of Path Lights mounted on projecting light in low angles at several locations along the back of your property or across the front of the home to accent the foliage
Path or Paver Lighting. Glare-free Path, Paver, or Solar Lights can be installed every 10’ to 15’ along the length of the walkway in a staggered arrangement to illuminate it.
