These lights will bring life into any landscape by highlighting it's beautiful features like color, texture and shadowing.
GRAZING
Grazing is a fantastic technique to bring out the details on any hard surface, and can result in brighter colors because there's nothing blocking their path. However this might not always work for darker surfaces like wood shingle roofs or bark-textured walls. This is why it is important to hire an experienced lighting designer and installation company.
SHADOWING
The shadows that are projected by lighting can be used to project intriguing patterns on walls or other vertical surfaces. This effect is created when light from in front of an object falls upon it, forming not just an outline but also intricate detail which is not possible otherwise. We can help you decide where these effects are best.
SILHOUETTING
The best way to create that same wondrous effect as when you see a ridge silhouetted against the sunset is by using silhouetting landscape lighting. Similar to shadowing but adding more depth to objects instead of designs. This can be achievable when concealing lights below trees, bushes and other objects for an amazing look!
WATER

ACCENT LIGHTING
We all know that light can change the way we feel about a place, and now there's even more to love. With the right accent lighting you will not only make your house stand out but also give it an added touch of class with its sophisticated appeal! We can use spotlights for key features like trees, shrubs and plants; they're perfect when highlighting these items without distracting from other architecture.
GRAZING LIGHTS
With the recent advancements in landscape lighting, there is a new type of light that can be used to highlight features on surfaces. Hardscape lights (or grazing lights) install onto walls easily to provide excellent grazing angles for painting every detail with lights and shadows as if it were alive! This technique works well with stone surfaces where you'll find rich mortar lines between each brick step; an interesting tree would also make them perfect candidates for this type of treatment. You can really add character and ambiance with some extra light onto what might otherwise be seen as just another wall in someones backyard.
DECK LIGHTING
When it comes to deck lighting, there are so many options for the perfect design. You can use practical spotlights on your outdoor dining area or shine them up high enough that they light up architectural features and pool fences in addition to shining down low around landscaping plants with ease! If you want a certain mood while hosting special occasions then these types of lights would be just what's needed - step lighting will also ensure safety throughout all parts while enhancing views from inside at night time as well.
PATH LIGHTING
Path lights are an important part of making sure that people stay on track and away from danger. They provide visibility for walkways, gardens & yards to keep guests within safe boundaries while illuminating landscaping features like trees or streams at night time so they can be easily seen during daytime hours too! The Path Light not only enhances safety but also creates a welcoming atmosphere in your outdoor space as well.
WATER LIGHTING
Proper lighting transforms a water feature and enhances the feeling of serenity. It allows you to get more out of a water feature by being able to enjoy it at night as well. When there’s water in front of a feature, like a waterfall with a pond in front of it, installing a light so it skims across the surface of the water creates an amazing mirrored surface when the water is calm, and a glimmering effect when it’s moving. Whether it is a pond, pool or fountain Simple AV has the experience to bring your water to life and give your visitors an extremely serene experience.
