Landscape Lighting Design

A photometric lighting plan with fixture schedule, beam angles and control zones, specified so the garden reads as composed after dark rather than lit at random.

The Work Beneath the Surface

Landscape Lighting Design in Toronto and the GTA

Most outdoor lighting is bought rather than designed, which is why so many gardens glare at the eye and leave the good things dark. A lighting design decides what is revealed and what is allowed to recede: the specimen tree uplit, the wall grazed, the steps made safe without a runway of path lights. It is issued as a plan with a fixture schedule, beam angles, mounting details and control zones, so what gets installed is what was intended and can be adjusted season by season.

Scope of Work

What's Included

  • Photometric plan with fixture positions and beam angles
  • Fixture schedule with finish, output and colour temperature
  • Mounting, cable route and transformer sizing details
  • Control zoning for entertaining, security and everyday use
  • Glare control and neighbour consideration written into the spec
  • Commissioning notes for aiming and seasonal adjustment

Process

Our Process

A structured engagement from first assessment to final handover and warranty activation.

01

Step 01

Night Walk

We assess the property after dark to see what needs light and what should stay quiet.

02

Step 02

Lighting Plan

Fixture positions, beam angles and layers drawn against the landscape plan.

03

Step 03

Specification

Fixture schedule, transformer sizing, cable routes and control zones documented.

04

Step 04

Commissioning

Aiming and dimming set on site once installed, because a lighting plan is finished at night rather than on paper.

Schedule a private site consultation.

Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

This is the design and specification: the plan, the fixture schedule and the control strategy. The Landscape Lighting service installs and commissions it. You can engage the design on its own and hand the plan to any competent installer.
Because the difference between a garden that looks composed after dark and one that looks like an airport apron is entirely in beam angle, mounting height and restraint. Those are design decisions, and they are very difficult to correct once cable is buried.
A properly specified scheme is aimed and shielded so light lands on the subject rather than into a bedroom window. Glare control and spill are part of the specification rather than an afterthought.
Yes. Lighting design is frequently the first engagement on an established property, and it is often the change that transforms it for the least construction.
