Lighting can also provide a sense of drama and showcase special landscape details. Illuminating the garden, stonework, and architectural details allows the home to be a beacon at night. Up lighting trees can add a sense of drama, especially if the tree has a striking shape. When the branches are lit from below, trees seem to come alive at night. When lit from below, trees and shrubs create cool shadows that dance along your landscape textures which can add to the design intent of the space.
