Extending Your Landscape Into the Evening
Since 2005, VanWyck LanDesign has been designing and installing custom outdoor lighting for homeowners across Asheville, Hendersonville, and Western North Carolina, led by owner Dave VanWyck’s 32 years of field experience. A landscape you love during the day shouldn’t disappear the moment the sun goes down. We design low-voltage lighting systems that highlight the trees, stonework, and outdoor living spaces you’ve already invested in — and light the steps and walkways you use every evening — so your property looks just as intentional after dark as it does at noon. Every lighting installation we build is backed by our one-year workmanship warranty.
Outdoor Lighting
Good landscape lighting doesn’t call attention to itself — it just makes the property feel finished. We design and install low-voltage lighting systems built to run efficiently and safely for years, with fixtures placed to do a specific job rather than scattered for the sake of it. Up-lighting brings out the texture of a stone retaining wall or the canopy of a mature tree after dark; path and step lighting keeps a paver walkway or a run of stone steps safe to walk after the sun goes down; and accent lighting can turn a specimen planting or a water feature into a nighttime focal point the same way it is during the day. Every fixture and transformer is sized and placed as part of an overall plan, not added on piecemeal, so the finished result reads as a single cohesive design rather than a collection of spotlights. Every outdoor lighting installation we build is backed by our one-year workmanship warranty. Request a free estimate and let us show you what your landscape looks like after dark.
Three Ways We Light Your Landscape
Path & Step Lighting
Low-voltage fixtures set along a walkway or a run of stone steps do double duty — they keep the path safe to walk after dark and add a warm, inviting glow that guides guests to your front door. We place each fixture to light the way without creating glare, so the walkway feels welcoming rather than like a runway.
Up-Lighting
Aiming a fixture upward at a mature tree, a stone retaining wall, or an architectural feature brings out texture and depth you simply don’t see in daylight. Up-lighting is one of the most dramatic effects in landscape lighting, and one of the easiest to get wrong — we size and angle every fixture so the effect looks natural rather than harsh.
Accent & Water Feature Lighting
A specimen planting, a sculpture, or a water feature deserves to remain a focal point after dark. We install accent and submersible fixtures that spotlight the details of a waterfall or stream, or draw the eye to a specific tree or garden bed, so the features you’re proudest of during the day keep their presence all evening long.
