Lighting your water feature and water garden brings so many new visual angles and excitement to the water and plant landscaping.
WATER FEATURE LIGHTING accenting water flow & features
Lighting up your water garden at dusk and at night is a beautiful and interesting way to further the enjoyment of your water feature. It creates a feel from your water garden that you just can’t get during the daytime. Plants, fish and rock take on a whole new life when properly illuminated at night. Imagine sitting on your deck or patio in the evening, listening to the trickle of water from your fountain or waterfall and also being able to see it in a whole new light!
There are many different ways of accomplishing the ambiance you want to generate for your night time viewing pleasure. Placing a spotlight at ground level can cast a reflective glow across the surface of the water and can draw your attention to a particularly beautiful plant you may have within your feature. It also is a great way to showcase a small, bubbling type fountain that only projects a few inches above the water’s surface.
Another favorite way to illuminate a pond or fountain is to use underwater lighting. The effect it creates can be soothing or dramatic, depending on your preference and what type of feature you have. A fountain that spurts high into the air is dramatic already and when it is lit up with a colored underwater light, it can be breathtaking to see. Make sure the light is pointing up into the spray for the best effect. Lighting your pond from under water is also a great way to see the fish you may have and also to give you a different view of your plant life.
