Lighting for the Soul, Not the Street

At JR Landscapes Service, we believe that great lighting should be felt, not just seen. Many contractors suffer from "over-lighting"—turning a beautiful Tampa estate into a bright, flat parking lot. Our approach is subtle, architectural, and intentional.

We follow the International Dark-Sky Association standards for Light Control. By hiding the source of the light, we ensure your eyes focus on the St. Petersburg landscape lighting effects rather than the glare of a bulb.

The Magic of Moonlighting

Moonlighting is the pinnacle of natural landscape design. By placing high-output, cool-toned fixtures within the canopy of a Grand Oak or Royal Palm, we simulate the ethereal glow of a full moon.

This technique provides safety without the harshness of floodlights, but it requires the maintenance-free HUB system to ensure every elevated fixture receives equal voltage without flickering.

Silhouetting (Contouring)

By placing light behind a feature, we create a dark silhouette against a soft background. This is ideal for highlighting iconic shapes in a coastal environment where Sabal Palms and statues define the property.

Shadowing (Wall Washing)

We project a dramatic shadow onto a vertical surface by lighting a textured feature from the front. This adds depth, ensuring your Davis Island waterfront estate has a multi-dimensional look after dark.
