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


About this gig
Do you 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 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 cover changes inside the agreed design; added areas are 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.
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 my installer be able to work from your plan?
Yes. The plan shows every fitting position, beam, wattage and switching zone with a legend and schedule, so your installer can price it and lay cable once. I answer their questions on the plan within the order.
How do you keep glare out of windows and neighbours' yards?
I aim uplights away from seating and windows, add glare shields or louvres where a fitting faces the house, and keep path lights low and downward. The outdoor lighting plan notes the aiming angle for each tree 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.
Which fixtures do you suggest 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.
Do you supply, install or wire the fittings?
No. I deliver digital files only. Your electrician sizes cables, drivers and transformers, checks local electrical rules and installs the fittings. Your supplier provides the fixtures from the schedule.
How do revisions work?
Each package lists its revision count. Revisions cover changes inside the agreed design, such as moving fittings, swapping fixtures or editing notes. New rooms, a new area or a changed brief are quoted as a custom offer.
What changes the price?
Garden size, number of features, how many renders, and whether you need a DWG plan or a lux check. Resort or estate projects can be split into milestones so you pay as each stage is delivered.
Do I own the files and can I use them on site?
Yes. Once the order is complete the drawings, reports and renders are yours to build from, share with your team and reuse. Fixture photometric data stays the property of each manufacturer and is used under their terms.
