As homeowners we can appreciate the appeal and value of a professionally installed landscape, yet are you aware that although different from what is visible during the day, the evening beauty of your landscape can be equally as compelling? Outdoor landscape lighting can bring this hidden beauty to life. Barring the sconce on the porch, flood light above the garage and the obligatory pole light, the function and aesthetic value of landscape lighting systems remains undiscovered by the majority of today's homeowners.
A properly designed 12-volt lighting system can address security as well as safety and traverse concerns effectively without being abrasive or disruptive. Through selective use of light, attention can be directed towards unique features in your landscape. Perhaps the most exciting feature of your lighting system is that it can be easily expanded. Let us start by uplighting a specimen tree, downlighting a patio or garden area, or perhaps soft pathlighting to your front door. Once you see the nighttime beauty we can create, we truly feel it becomes a question of when, not if you expand your system.

Beginning in 2008, Commonwealth Landscape Lighting was chosen to assist The Trustees of Reservations in their ongoing restoration of the famous Crane Estate, located in Ipswich, MA.
The lighting projects include both path lighting and moon lighting of the granite steps leading to the Italianate Garden, step lighting of the staircases accessing the Bowling Green and statuary and staircase lighting of the Grand Allee for the wedding and concert season.
We are excited to be involved in the process of revitalizing such a beautiful and historic property, and look forward to our continued relationship with both the Crane Estate and the Trustees of Reservations.



Integrated into the newly poured walls will be brass fixtures to illuminate the steps. Work will be completed in late Spring 2009.
Pending benefactor support in 2009, the Grand Allee reconstruction will feature both down lighting and staircase lighting for concert safety. Statuary and facade lighting will add dramatic interest.
Working closely with our client and the design team at Nightscaping™, we developed a fixture that would provide general illumination of large scale plantings and walkways. The design incorporated elements of two existing fixtures the Savoy wall mount and the Libertyliter path light. We are proud to announce the resulting fixture has been named the Savoy Commonwealth. This is in keeping with a long standing Nightscaping™ tradition of honoring the designing contractor.
