Most outdoor lighting systems call for a range of fixtures and styles. It is important to recognize which application will be appropriate for your specific area. Do your best to capitalize on the strong parts of your property. We have listed five of the most popular landscape lighting design techniques below. The best designers employ all of these approaches when they are presented with a comprehensive outdoor lighting project.
Wall lighting on subdivision entrance wall.[/caption] Wall washes showcase key architectural features of your home. Try to make the lighting consistently soft and cover (at least) the entire front of the home. Many homeowners make the mistake of lighting only part of the home façade. The entire front of the home should be illuminated to showcase the complete architecture of the home.
Use up lights to highlight interesting plants and trees. Crepe myrtles, palms, river birches and willow trees look especially good when up-lit.
Be sure to install path lights along walkways and drives. Path lights can be installed at various heights and with various shade sizes to change the diameter of the coverage area.
Backlighting can give an interesting high contrast look to plants and structures. Backlighting can be used to great affect to silhouette interesting trees trunks. As part of an overall plan backlighting can complement adjacent aspects of the property that are front lit.
Moon lighting is light that emits downward from high places like trees and focused down to softly light landscape or other areas of interest. Moon lights can provide a great deal of safety and security light as well as beauty light. Lights should be placed high and be well hidden to maximize their affect.

Absolute Lighting installed my outdoor flood lights 2 years ago and they are beautiful! They did such a great job that I used them to setup and take down the Christmas lights for the past 2 years. I would highly recommend them. Frank always responds to questions and automatically puts me on the schedule for set up and take down of the Christmas Lights.
We love Abulous lighting and have been using them for years They are very responsive and professional and will come back no questions asked for any follow up work Good pricing and highly trustworthy Frank, the owner, is a true stand up guy. I recommend without reservation
Frank and the team at Abulous were great to work with. They came out and retro-upgraded some previous lighting that we had done a few years back and made it look as seamless and continuous as possible. They also worked with us on the best (& most economical) way to light up a hard to reach area of our yard. They also followed up with us after we had another group of workers "disturb" some of the lighting wires and came back out and fixed everything back up again. Very friendly, dependable local resource who do great work. Highly recommend.
After reviewing multiple companies we contracted with Abilous Lighting to create outside accent lighting for our home, backyard patio, walkways, & fire pit. Their ideas and design were the best! It was a pleasure working with Frank Hasty, who did the design, and his crew of Brandon & Rusty who performed the work. All were excellent to work with. We are very happy with Abulous Lighting.
