Lighting and Irrigation


Stephen WoodhamsLighting of a garden or any outside space is really important I feel, but more often than not I take the less is more approach, as I feel really that these spaces should feel that they are like moonlight or candle light.



Stephen Woodhams Creating depth of field is my favourite, rather than looking out at a big black hole, and focusing on creating shadows and lights dancing through water features always look very effective.



Stephen Woodhams We are happy to provide a design for lighting, and we also work with various lighting consultants, and are open to suggestions a client may have, and happy to work as part of a team.



Stephen WoodhamsIrrigation is a very important factor, not only in the UK but more importantly for projects abroad. The first question I ask my clients is what water/source of water do they have? Even before we design the garden.



Stephen Woodhams We are working more and more with clients, interior designers and architects where we are focusing on being sustainable, and including rain water harvesting units as well as storage tanks to store water during the winters and rainy seasons, which then help us with irrigation the rest of the year.
