Lighting Type
Wall wash lighting bathes entire surfaces in smooth, even light — revealing the texture of stone, brick, stucco, or wood in ways that daylight never could. It's the technique that makes facades, retaining walls, and architectural features look like they're glowing from within.
Wall wash fixtures are positioned close to a surface and aimed to cast broad, even light across it from top to bottom. Unlike spotlights that create a single bright point, wall washers flood an entire plane of material with light — highlighting the natural texture of stone, brick, stucco, wood, or concrete in rich, three-dimensional detail.
Wall washing works beautifully on home facades, garage walls, retaining walls, privacy fences, garden walls, and pergolas. It's one of the most impactful techniques in landscape lighting because it transforms large surfaces that would otherwise disappear into the dark.
Let's design a wall wash lighting plan that brings your home's best surfaces to life.
