In the darkened setting, enliven outdoor living spaces and features with the yellows and oranges of fires and the white and golden glows and reflections created by modern lighting technologies.

In the latest issue of the beautifully redesigned Colorado Green, we featured three properties—one each from Designscapes Colorado, Inc., Designs By Sundown and Lindgren Landscape & Irrigation, Inc. Check out the gorgeous full photo gallery in the digital magazine (see page 36), and pick up a print copy of the magazine at ProGreen EXPO registration on Wednesday, February 14.

The client wanted to highlight the dramatic elevation change of the yard as seen from the road—call it nighttime curb appeal! They also wanted to safely entertain friends after dark and protect their pets from curious wildlife. Distinctive lighting scenes can be changed immediately by the homeowner with a touch on his Light Logic app to emphasize seasonal qualities of the landscape.

The client wanted a year-round outdoor oasis that was also suitable for entertaining large parties. Step lights make it easy for the homeowners and guests to navigate the property including finding their way safely to the outdoor spa in the courtyard. Bistro lights in the main fire pit area add a fun and festive flare. All the outdoor lighting is set up and managed through a lighting app which can not only change light intensity but change light color and turn zones off and on.

Lighting for this property, situated in the middle of town, was designed to feel completely private. Lighting emphasizes specific outdoor features and creates a safe and inviting ambiance for the living space. Path lights guide circulation throughout the property. Under cap lights illuminate masonry planters, the outdoor kitchen and fire pit. Dimming and zoning can be easily adjusted.
