What we install

Fence & Boundary Lighting We Fit

The right fence and boundary lighting can transform your garden after dark. Highlight fencing, add depth to garden borders and create a more inviting outdoor space with a well-designed lighting scheme that enhances the garden without overwhelming it.

Fence Lights & Wall Washing

If you’d like to draw attention to fencing or garden walls, wall washing creates a soft, even glow that highlights texture and adds depth throughout the garden.

Boundary & Perimeter Lighting

Lighting along your garden boundaries helps define the space after dark, making the garden feel more structured while subtly extending the sense of space.

Post, Pillar & Gate Lighting

Adding lighting to gate posts, pillars and entrances creates a welcoming feature while making access points easier to navigate in the evening.

Trellis & Screen Lighting

Decorative screens, trellis panels and garden dividers can become features in their own right when highlighted with carefully positioned lighting.

Security & Dusk-to-Dawn Lighting

If you’d like additional peace of mind, boundary lighting can be combined with sensors, timers or automatic controls to improve visibility around the perimeter.

Low-Voltage LED Fence Lighting

Modern LED fence lighting provides a warm, attractive effect while keeping energy consumption low and maintenance requirements to a minimum.

Part of a Complete Garden Lighting Scheme

Fence lighting works particularly well alongside pathway lighting, patio lighting, tree uplighting and planting illumination to create a balanced garden lighting design.

Lighting Controls & Zoning

Control different areas of your garden independently, allowing you to adjust brightness levels and create the right atmosphere for any occasion.

Maintenance, Repairs & Upgrades

If your existing lighting needs attention or you’re looking to upgrade older fittings, we can help keep your fence and boundary lighting performing at its best.

Benefits

Fence lighting works best as part of a scheme

Fence and boundary lighting works best when combined with other garden lighting features, helping create a more balanced, practical and inviting outdoor space after dark.

Pathway & Walkway Lighting

We can illuminate pathways and garden routes to improve visibility, guide movement and connect different areas of the garden after dark.

Patio Lighting

Patio lighting helps create a comfortable outdoor living space for dining, entertaining and relaxing, working naturally alongside fence and boundary lighting.

Tree & Planting Uplighting

Carefully positioned uplighting can highlight feature trees, shrubs and planting beds, adding depth, texture and visual interest throughout the garden.

Decking Lighting

Decking lighting improves visibility around raised areas and helps create a warm, welcoming atmosphere for outdoor entertaining.

Garden Lighting Design

We regularly incorporate fence and boundary lighting into complete garden lighting schemes, creating layered outdoor lighting that enhances the appearance and usability of the entire space.

Popular Installation Areas

Ideal Locations for Fence & Boundary Lighting Installations

Helpful Informations

Frequently Asked Questions

Can fence and boundary lighting improve security around my property?

Yes. Well-positioned fence and boundary lighting can improve visibility around the perimeter of your garden, helping you navigate outdoor spaces more safely while making entrances, gates and darker areas easier to see after dark.

What's the best way to light a garden fence?

In most gardens, subtle wall washing or low-glare accent lighting provides the best results. Rather than flooding the fence with light, a carefully designed scheme highlights texture and creates depth without overpowering the space.

Can fence lighting be installed on existing fencing?

Yes. Fence lighting can be installed on most existing timber fences, boundary walls, screens and trellis panels. We’ll assess the structure and recommend the most suitable installation method.

Will fence lighting shine into neighbouring gardens?

No. A professionally designed lighting scheme directs light where it’s needed, reducing unnecessary light spill and helping maintain a comfortable environment for neighbouring properties.

Can fence and boundary lighting be controlled automatically?

Yes. We can install timers, dusk-to-dawn sensors, motion sensors and smart lighting controls to automate your outdoor lighting system.

How do I choose the right fence lighting design?

We’ll assess your garden layout, fencing, landscaping and existing outdoor features before recommending a lighting scheme that complements your property and achieves the effect you’re looking for.
