The overview

What it is, and why it matters.

A backyard pond comes alive at night with the right lighting: underwater fixtures that make the water glow, spotlights that pick out waterfalls and rocks and soft lights on the ferns and plants along the bank. The key is to keep the effect natural, so the pond looks like a moonlit pool in the woods.

We light ponds and streams for homes in Nashville and across Middle Tennessee. We place fixtures behind rocks and in plantings, aim them to avoid glare and reflections, use waterproof wiring and plan service access so cleaning the pond does not mean tearing up the garden.

Good questions

Pond and Stream Lighting: common questions

Can fish be harmed by pond lights?

Properly placed LED lights at a reasonable brightness are generally fine, and fish also need dark periods. We plan a schedule that suits the pond.

Can lights go behind a waterfall?

Yes. A light behind or beside the falling water makes it glow. We plan the placement to keep fixtures out of sight and easy to service.
