The plan for creating any kind of design will not be complete if it does not have items suggesting the presence of decorative lighting. Backlighting, in the dark, emphasizes the fact that in the daytime the architectural structures and style direction of the project are emphasized. In other words, it combines all the design fragments into an integral composition.

The role of lighting the country plot in the creation of a single picture of the night garden
Sometimes a well-thought-out project for highlighting the infield changes it so much that people who were on it during the daylight hours practically do not recognize it in the evening. Mysterious and magic appears in the garden. Appear wonderful patterns, created by the game of shadow and light. The veil on the way to the unknown world is rising. Another time it may seem that because of the tree may appear a character from some fairy tale. The garden area is reborn, it looks like an intricate labyrinth.
When drafting, all the wishes of the owners of the garden should be taken into account: general plans for site planning, for the construction of basic and secondary buildings, for the creation of schemes for green spaces and irrigation systems that are implemented with the help of a comprehensive method.
Consequently, the systemized irrigation and electrical wiring are pre-calculated, laid, and then installed in full accordance with the project. The implementation of these actions makes it possible to plant green spaces and equip reservoirs without causing harm, in addition to observe the correct sequence. When landscape lighting has not been done in advance, its installation will necessarily lead to damage to lawns and plants, to partial destruction of tracks and disruption of monolithic capacity.
Kinds of illumination used in garden design
An interesting way out of this situation can be autonomous lamps, charging from solar energy. In general, the illumination system is assembled into one circuit, which makes it possible to denote and highlight isolated areas and fragments, depending on the need.
In addition to this, the lighting system can be equipped with various saturation modes, motion detectors, as well as modes for creating a festive effect. Such a system is called "Smart House". It is quite convenient and very economical. Again, the owners often confess that they did not use lighting for a long time at distant alleys and plots of their infield.
Backlight design and functionality
It is necessary to know that the illumination of the garden can be decorative and functional. To the concept of functional illumination, one can safely refer to the lighting of areas near the house: a porch, an entrance to a parking place or a garage, paths to non-residential buildings. The illumination of any places intended for recreation, alleys and paths is, in principle, functional, but can be made exclusively in the form of decorative.
A highlight of rockaria and rutaria, water reservoirs and waterfalls, alpine hills and the accentuation of separately growing plants or their groups, is made exclusively in a decorative style. When the light source is installed as needed, then only the required object and the light itself will be visible. The luminaires should be arranged in such a way that the light emitted by them does not fall directly into the eyes. It should gently highlight this or that landscape detail, separately growing plant or the whole group of a given class of plants.
Very rarely on personal plots there are lanterns more than 1.5 m in height. Quite often the elements of illumination are masked in the grass, groups of various plants, shrubs.
Backlighting paths in the garden
To illuminate the avenues and paths in the villa area, you can use luminaires built into the track cover; columns with built-in flashlights and standing along the entire length of the track. Mounted lanterns will prompt the direction of motion. Their scattered light will gently illuminate the path and grow near the green plantations. Such bars should be installed at the same distance from each other. The distance between them will depend directly on the power of the source.
Landscaping of trees
In order to illuminate a few nearby growing trees or individual units of representatives of this class of plants, you need to use directional lights that illuminate from the bottom up. With this kind of illumination, the branches located below and the trunk will be well seen, and the crown will beckon with its movements in the semi-darkness. Effectively with this backlight will look beautiful pine needles, tender birch branches, miscanthus bushes.
Light directed from the top down will be more advantageous to use for illuminating exotic plants or not very high green plantations with a rather lush crown. In the light of such coverage only branches will be viewed. From the whiff of the wind, the formed shadow will begin its unrestrained dance, forming an openwork on the entire surface around the plantations.
Sculptures serving the decoration of the garden are highlighted exclusively from the bottom up. Sculpture in such an unusual perspective looks completely different. Formed shadows give it unpredictable drama.
In order to profitably illuminate the flower beds, flower beds and low ornamental plants, it will be enough to purchase figurines with lanterns, low lamps and so on. The main thing is to combine them organically with the landscape.
Rounded fixtures with strong diffuse light will be more advantageous to put in the center of the flowerbed. The resulting rainbow of colors is ideal for decorating any evening.
The appearance of the gazebo will look more refined and much openwork, in case the lamp will be disguised under the dome. And if you arrange the lighting from below, then it will be light and airy, hanging in weightlessness.
Features of highlighting reservoirs in the garden
The highlight of any pond should be entrusted to good specialists in this field. There are quite a lot of underwater nuances in this work. For example, highlighting the bottom requires a fairly powerful light, because the water can contain algae or silt. Density of water does not pass light very well. Knowing this to highlight deep pools and water bodies practically does not make sense. But the light in the shallow will cope with the task. There is a variant of illumination and deep water bodies - lamps that float.
In specialized stores there is a huge selection of colored highlights for waterfalls and fountains. It will be interesting to look like a fog-forming installation with a multi-colored fountain. Of course, one must remember the high humidity near the water bodies and very carefully and accurately approach the time of installation of electrical equipment near them.
Also in an environment with high humidity, it is possible to establish an absolutely safe and diverse fibberoptic. Fiberoptika - this is also a kind of highlighting, only in its production use optical fiber. The described installation has a number of advantages and adaptations, and also at combination with standard kinds of illumination weightfully diversifies already available effects. You can also attach a fiber-optic cable to the walls of the house, a gazebo or trees, which is considered fire-resistant and absolutely not afraid of humidity.
Beautifully and practically will look the steps indicated by light or retaining walls. It will be interesting to look a mixed texture of the relief of the stone surface. In addition, well-lit every step will protect you from undesirable falls during the dark hours of the day.
