Some of the best driveway lighting in Raleigh doesn’t come from the ground at all. It comes from the trees. One client saw that change at her own home, and she shared it in a 5-star Google review.
What did this client say about Lite Visions?
“Joe is an artist whose palette is light! He replaced our “standard” (mediocre) driveway path lights with downlight strategically located in trees resulting in a dreamy, soft-lit approach to our house. Next he is designing the lighting for Phase II of our landscaping project…lighting our front entry and parking area. The results speak to Joe’s excellence and professionalism!” — Sally B.
Why use downlighting in trees for driveway lighting in Raleigh?
A long row of path lights can make a driveway look like a runway. Downlighting works differently. We place soft fixtures high in the trees and aim them down. As a result, light filters through the branches like moonlight.
The driveway is still easy to see. However, the glow feels natural instead of staged. That’s the “dreamy, soft-lit approach” this client described.
What makes the light feel soft?
Our signature look is warm 2700K light at low levels, with no glare. Fixtures are tucked out of sight, so you see the effect, not the source. In addition, we balance light and shadow so the yard never looks washed out.
Can you add lighting in phases?
Yes. This client started with the driveway. Next, she planned the front entry and parking area as a second phase. That Phase II work on Sally B.’s front entry and parking area is now complete. A well-designed system can grow with your landscape over time.
Who designs the lighting?
Joe Yanulevich designs every system himself. He spent more than 35 years in concert and theatrical lighting before he began lighting landscapes. On stage, nothing is lit by accident. His work has also earned Masters of Landscape Lighting recognition.
Every project starts with Joe walking your property in daylight. After installation, he returns at night to fine-tune the aiming.
