Landscape Lighting for The Registry at Bailey Farm
The Registry at Bailey Farm sits on Norwood Road in North Raleigh’s Bayleaf area, between Creedmoor and Six Forks, close to Falls Lake and the Bayleaf crossroads. The lots are typically one to two acres. A stone entrance sets the tone, and the community has a clubhouse, a large pool with a waterfall, a lake and tennis courts: the kind of setting that rewards lighting designed as a series of scenes, not a single wash of brightness.
On a property like this, the evening has more than one chapter. There is the arrival, along a private drive through trees. There is the house itself, and what you see from the windows after dark. And there is the water: a pool, a waterfall, a lake, each of which can double the effect of whatever you light beside it, if the light is warm, low and aimed with care.
Arrival, Water and Open Ground
Joe designs for composition, not installation. Warm 2700K light, purposeful shadows and an ambient atmosphere do more for a one- or two-acre lot than a row of path lights ever will. The stone at the entrance is a natural place for grazing light, so the texture reads at night. Along the drive, trees lit from one side and then the other draw you forward, and the house comes last.
Near water, restraint matters even more. Light the trees, the falls and the edge of the terrace, and the pool or the lake will do the rest, quietly reflecting what’s already there. Light the water itself too hard and the reflection disappears. The tennis courts and open lawns can stay dark, so the lit scenes around them have depth.
Joe explains this difference in You Can’t Un-See Bad Landscape Lighting.
Featured in Masters of Landscape Lighting
Joe’s work is featured in the book Masters of Landscape Lighting, alongside designers recognized for what the craft can be at its best.
Designed by a Stage Lighting Veteran
Joe Yanulevich spent more than 35 years working in the concert and stage lighting industry before he brought that craft to residential landscapes. On a stage, light decides what the audience sees and what stays in shadow. A Registry property has the same need: decide which moments matter, give them a quiet glow, and let the rest of the land stay calm.
Every project starts with a daytime design consultation. Joe walks the grounds with you in daylight to see the approach, the trees, the water and the views from inside, and how you use the property. He designs every job himself, and after installation he returns after dark to make the final adjustments to each fixture’s angle and brightness. Lite Visions is locally owned, it isn’t a franchise, and lighting is all we do.

Lite Visions has not yet completed a project at The Registry at Bailey Farm. The photos in this section come from other Lite Visions work around the Triangle, and they show the kind of approach we would bring here.
Start With a Daytime Design Consultation
If you’re curious what your property at The Registry could feel like after dark, Joe would enjoy walking it with you in daylight. The first conversation is about how you live outdoors, where you sit, and what you see from inside.
