Project Information
The Brief - The client wanted their terraced gravel garden to feel safe and inviting at night, with a softly lit walkway and a striking focal tree after dusk.
Our Design - We designed a scheme with subtle pathway lighting to guide movement across the terrace and a discreet up-light to bring the focal tree to life in the evenings. The look is elegant,
warm, and neighbour - friendly.
The Installation - Our Part P compliant team installed durable LED fittings with hidden cabling, ensuring the garden’s daytime look remained uncluttered while transforming its evening atmosphere.
The Result - The once dark gravel terrace now glows with subtle, welcoming light. The walkway is safe and practical, and the focal tree has become a statement feature after dark.
Future Proof Power Supplies - We added an outdoor socket for party lighting, sound systems, or heaters. The design also allows for easy extension in the future if the client wishes to expand their scheme further.
Energy Efficiency - All fittings are modern LEDs, costing just pennies per night to run.
Smart Controls - A timer ensures the lights come on automatically, with the option to upgrade to app-based smart controls in future.
Key Highlights - Pathway lighting across the gravel terrace - Uplight to enhance focal tree - Neat, hidden installation - Outdoor power point ready for entertaining - Annual service plan available (£185 from Year
Before & After - From dark and underused to a safe and welcoming evening space
