Garden Lighting Projects

Explore garden lighting projects from Preston and across North West England. Each garden has its own character, so the lighting is planned around the spaces people use and the features they want to enjoy after dark.

Browse these projects for ideas on lighting patios and seating areas, guiding the eye along paths, and bringing trees and planting into view. See how carefully positioned lights can add depth and atmosphere while leaving quieter areas of the garden in shadow.

Preston garden lighting project

Project title: Layered Garden Lighting in Preston

Illuminated Preston garden at dusk, with a paved dining terrace, planted borders and a gravel path leading to a garden feature.

Project description:
This Preston garden has a welcoming feel after dark, with lighting defining the paved dining terrace and bringing the surrounding planting into view. A gravel path leads the eye through the garden towards a feature at the far end, while pools of light reveal the different textures and heights of the planting. The contrast between illuminated areas and quieter spaces adds depth without making the whole garden uniformly bright.

Cheshire garden lighting project

Project title: Garden Lighting for an Outdoor Living Space in Cheshire

Cheshire garden at dusk with illuminated built-in seating, a central fire feature, lawn, trees and ornamental grasses.

Project description:
In this Cheshire garden, lighting helps the outdoor seating area feel welcoming after dark. Warm light within the garden wall brings out the built-in seating, while the central fire feature creates a natural focal point. Carefully positioned lights also pick out the trees and ornamental grasses, adding depth around the lawn without lighting every area equally.

Poolside garden lighting project

Project title: Poolside Garden Lighting in Southport

Garden pool at night with underwater lighting, a lit tree on a raised island and an illuminated dining area beneath a pergola.

Project description:
Lighting creates distinct evening spaces around this garden pool. Underwater lights bring out the water and its reflections, while low-level fittings highlight the sculptural tree on its raised island. Warmer light draws the eye towards the dining table beneath the pergola and picks out the surrounding planting. The combination gives the garden depth and atmosphere, with the pool, tree and dining area each forming a focal point.

Merseyside garden lighting project

Project title: Outdoor Dining Garden Lighting in Merseyside

Merseyside garden dining area at night beneath a pergola, with illuminated decorative screens, a lit tree and lanterns on the table.

Project description:
Lighting turns this covered dining space into a striking evening setting. Light from below brings out the pattern in the decorative screens, while a small tree provides a focal point at the end of the table. Tabletop lanterns add a more intimate glow for dining, and the darker garden beyond helps the sheltered space feel enclosed and atmospheric.
