...Safety

Safety is one of the first tenets of landscape design, and lighting steps and path is a great means to that end.

...Security

Once safety issues are solved, the next step is security. Lighting can be a great deterrent to burglars or criminals. Another perk is that it creates a feeling of comfort for guests as well. A well-lit landscape provides a more inviting atmosphere.

After addressing the safety and security issues, the real fun of ambiance begins. There is a pantry full of creative effects that are possible with illumination. By using different techniques and fixtures, the artistry of lighting can deliver a beautiful nighttime scene.
