The use of outdoor lighting to enhance
the home landscape has come a long way
from its earliest uses. Once solar-powered
pathway lights sprouted like so many
planted seedlings. But today the look
and feel is much different.
Aside from lighting for safety, which
still is used widely, architectural
features of homes now glow, and landscapes
bask from fixtures that spotlight accents
or flood entire plant borders. |

As people spend more time outdoors
at home to grill, garden and entertain
they are looking for ways to extend their
active hours into the yard. This can
be especially true here in Houston -
where the hours after the sun sets are
often the only really tolerable summer
hours of the day. |

J.M.D. Landscaping can help you design
an exterior lighting system that will
not only enhance your entertainment abilities,
but accent the beauty of your home and
yard during the evening hours. Some of
the ideas for which we have installed
outdoor lighting have included: |
|
 |
- Silhouetting a sculpture with
a flood lamp that created a shadow
of it on a wall.
- Lighting garden accent pieces such as
a trellis, birdbath, wall, fence or
pillar.
- Focusing attention to a specimen plant,
such as a favorite tree, shrub or flower
border. Also, backlighting plants for
dramatic effect.
- Floodlighting a play area for children.
- Adding path lights along the walkway
for the safety of both the residents and
visitors.
- Placing accent lighting to enhace the
owner's landscape while greatly increasing
the security of the home by making
dark corners into well-lite parts of the
yard.
