Plan garden lighting around the way people move through and use the space. A courtyard, an entrance and a narrow pathway may need different fixture types, even when the overall design language is consistent.
Four useful garden lighting categories
- Modern garden lights suit contemporary courtyards, campuses and public landscapes. Compare the silhouette, mounting style and finish with the surrounding architecture.
- Classic garden lights include lantern-style designs for traditional streetscapes, gardens and hospitality projects.
- Solar garden lights should be considered together with the proposed installation position, shading and operating schedule.
- Bollard lights provide low-level fixtures for paths and landscape edges. Consider their placement in relation to planting, circulation and maintenance.
Build a coordinated lighting plan
Mark entrances, paths, gathering areas and landscape features on a site drawing. Select a consistent finish and an appropriate family of products. Discuss the intended lighting effect, glare control, mounting height and spacing with the lighting designer before confirming quantities.
Check the details that affect maintenance
Ask for the product dimensions, construction materials, finish specification, mounting details and access to serviceable components. For exposed or coastal locations, describe the environment and request a suitable proposed specification. Ratings and performance should be checked against the documentation for the exact model.
Prepare your enquiry
Send a site plan, photos of the architecture, preferred product references, approximate quantity and project location. This gives the supplier a clear starting point for discussing a coordinated selection.
