Great outdoor spaces don’t end when the sun goes down—they evolve.

We’re excited to see one of our lighting designs included in a recent Bethesda Magazine feature celebrating standout poolside environments and the art of outdoor living.

Lighting is often the final layer, but it’s what brings everything to life—adding depth, highlighting textures, and creating an inviting atmosphere that carries seamlessly into the evening.

Because the best outdoor spaces aren’t just seen… they’re experienced.

We were honored to provide the lighting for this year’s 2026 Maryland ASLA Awards Gala at the historic William Paca House & Garden in Annapolis.

Helping illuminate an evening dedicated to landscape architecture, design excellence, and creative collaboration in such a remarkable setting was truly special. From the gardens and walkways to the atmosphere throughout the event, lighting played an important role in enhancing the experience after sunset.

Thank you to Maryland ASLA and everyone involved for allowing Outdoor Illumination to be part of such a beautiful evening celebrating the design community.

An inspiring evening celebrating landscape architecture, design, and the incredible creative community behind it.

Last week, Outdoor Illumination was proud to attend the 2026 Maryland ASLA Awards Gala at the historic William Paca House & Garden in Annapolis — a beautiful event bringing together landscape architects, designers, builders, and industry partners from throughout the region.

From the award presentations and project displays to the incredible conversations and collaborations throughout the evening, it was a wonderful reminder of how much thoughtful outdoor design can shape the way people experience a space.

Thank you to Maryland ASLA for hosting such a memorable evening in one of Annapolis’ most iconic historic settings. Thank you to for sharing such great images from the event.

Designed for Day. Elevated for Night.

As outdoor living takes center stage this season, we’re honored to have one of our projects featured in Bethesda Magazine as part of their poolside design showcase.

From sunlit afternoons to softly lit evenings, lighting is what carries a space through every moment—enhancing beauty, improving safety, and creating a natural flow from indoors to out.

It’s all about balance, intention, and the details you don’t always notice… but always feel.

Where Design Comes Together

Featured in Home & Design, this Grand Award-winning outdoor space in McLean is a true example of what happens when every element is considered—from architecture and landscape to the way the space is experienced after dark.

Layered planting, custom architectural details, and thoughtfully designed gathering spaces create a seamless flow throughout the property. Our lighting design was crafted to enhance those moments—bringing depth, warmth, and usability to the space well into the evening.

Projects like this are never the result of one vision alone—they’re built through collaboration, precision, and a shared commitment to getting every detail right.

Giving Back to the Landscapes We Light

Recently, our team had the opportunity to volunteer with Rock Creek Conservancy for a cleanup and invasive removal effort at the Carter Barron Amphitheater.

Together, volunteers removed over 500 pounds of litter and cleared invasive plants—helping protect the health of the watershed and preserve these natural spaces for the community to enjoy.

The environments we design and illuminate don’t exist in isolation—they’re part of a larger ecosystem.
Supporting the care and restoration of these spaces is just one way we stay connected to the landscapes we work in every day.

Grateful to be part of efforts that make a lasting impact—both in our communities and beyond.

As pool season begins, we’re proud to see one of our lighting designs featured in a recent Bethesda Magazine editorial highlighting beautiful outdoor spaces created for gathering, relaxation, and long summer evenings.

Thoughtfully designed lighting plays a quiet but powerful role—bringing warmth to architectural details, enhancing safety, and extending the enjoyment of outdoor living well beyond sunset.

It’s always an honor to collaborate on spaces like this, where every element works together to create an experience that feels as good as it looks.

As we head into the heart of the season, we’re excited to continue helping homeowners make the most of their outdoor environments—night after night.

Collaboration in Action

We had the opportunity to partner with a talented team at Fine Earth Landscape Inc. for a featured installation at the Leesburg Flower & Garden Festival.

Bringing lighting into a live display like this is all about balance—enhancing the design, highlighting key features, and creating an inviting atmosphere that draws people in, even after dark.

A big shoutout to Luis for a seamless install and to the entire team behind this award-winning space. It’s always a privilege to collaborate with partners who share the same attention to detail and passion for outdoor living.

Proud to have been a part of it.

We’re excited to see the release of Enduring Gardens: The Tame and the Wild by Campion Hruby Landscape Architects—proud partners on many of the projects featured within its pages.

The book offers a thoughtful exploration of landscapes designed to evolve beautifully over time—spaces created for gathering, reflection, and quiet retreat. Through striking photography and detailed sketches, it captures the balance between structure and nature that defines truly enduring design.

We always value the opportunity to collaborate with teams whose work reflects such a strong and intentional design philosophy, and we look forward to continuing that partnership.
