I will design landscape lighting, outdoor lighting plan, garden backyard pool design


About this gig
Need a landscape lighting plan for your garden, backyard or pool area before the trenches are dug?
I plan outdoor lighting for homes, villas and resorts: where each fixture goes, which beam it uses and how it is switched, drawn on your site plan so your installer can price and cable it once.
What I do:
- Landscape lighting plan on your site or garden drawing
- Tree uplighting, path lights, step lights, wall washers
- Pool, pond, water feature lighting placement
- Patio, deck, pergola, driveway lighting
- DIALux evo outdoor lux check for paths and steps
- Fixture schedule: beam, CCT, IP rating, wattage, quantity
- Night renders of the garden before installation
Tools:
- DIALux evo, AGi32, AutoCAD, Photoshop
You receive:
- PDF/DWG lighting plan, fixture schedule, night renders, DIALux report
Why it works:
- Warm 27003000K light so plants, stone and timber don't look cold or green
- Shielded, aimed fittings keep glare out of windows and neighbours' yards
- Zones split so pool, garden and paths switch separately
- Revisions per package; added areas are quoted as a custom offer
Message me your site plan or garden photos, size, key features and power points before ordering.

FAQ
What do you need to plan my garden lighting?
A site plan or a measured sketch, photos of the garden by day, the features you want lit (trees, pool, paths, walls) and where your outdoor power points are. Night photos help me see existing light.
Do you design the pool or the garden itself?
No. I design the lighting for your landscape, garden, backyard and pool. Planting, hardscape and pool construction stay with your landscaper or pool builder; I work from their plans.
Can you work from photos only?
For a small garden, yes, with a few rough dimensions. For larger sites or renders I need a site plan, because fixture spacing and beam spread depend on real distances.
Will you size cables or transformers?
No. The plan shows fixture positions, wattage and switching zones. Your electrician sizes cables, drivers and transformers and confirms everything against local electrical rules.
Which fixtures do you recommend for pool lighting?
Fixtures rated for underwater use (IP68) from the pool fitting maker your builder uses. I place them for even coverage and to keep glare off seating areas, then list the wattage and beam.
Can you check light levels on paths and steps?
Yes. In the larger packages I run a DIALux evo outdoor calculation on paths and steps so the outdoor lighting plan gives enough light to walk safely without over-lighting the garden.
Can you show me how it will look at night?
Yes. Standard and Premium include night renders built from the lighting plan, so you see tree uplighting, pool glow and path lights before anything is installed.
