Downlighting - Lights are mounted high up in a tree or arbor and aimed downward for a soft and romantic feeling. Use spots, floods and spreads.
Uplighting - Uplighting uses fixtures that are surface or ground mounted and angled upward to highlight a key object. Use spots, floods, or in-ground fixtures.
This is one of our next projects for our back yard. We have already put in a gazebo and want to add accent lighting in the trees surrounding the gazebo. We also plan to put rope lighting in the underneath part of the gazebo.
I will try to get pics on here soon of what we have done already.

This is a work in progress, ALOT more needs to be done before we are finished. We need to put up the lights, we will be adding more flowers and plants, and we are going to fill in around the area with pea gravel. I will post more pics as we continue with this project. ;D Fixed Image Error - Sileny Jizda

Hubby got the lights put up this weekend, although the picture does not do it justice. It looks really great in person. ;D Fixed Image Error - Sileny Jizda

Here's what we've done now. Put done pea gravel, and edgers. Added tiki torches and incorporated the BBQ pit with the area. Not sure what else we are going to do with this area, it just is a work in progress. Fixed Image Error - Sileny Jizda
