8. Lighting Fixtures
There are many types of lighting fixtures which are used in landscape
architecture. Some of them are mentioned below-
Solar Lights-Solar landscape lights make use of tiny photo voltalic cells
(PV) or solar powered cells to charge the battery that is integrated into
the lighting fixtures

9. Fluorescent Light- A Light
straight tube coated with phosphor
containing low pressure mercury vapor
that produces white light.
Halogen- High pressure
incandescent lamp. Used for
highlighting any object like tree in
landscaping.
 Neon- A low pressure gas
contained within a glass tube ; the
color emitted depends on the gas

10. Bollards in
Landscaping
Bollards are clean and consistent
outdoor decorations that help
balance the character and theme of
building exteriors with surrounding
pathways and landscapes.
They are functional and
decorative—providing clear barriers
while enhancing outdoor visual
quality.
Use bollards to complement
artistic compositions in integrated
urban and green spaces.

11. Sense of place: Bollards establish a meaningful sense of place
along pathways and outdoor spaces around buildings, in parks and
in other community spaces.
 When used well, decorative site furnishings carry cultural
building or landscape designs into surrounding areas, creating a
greater presence and cohesion

12. Functional planning
Proper bollard installations contribute to safe, attractive and functional outdoor
environments for the benefit of community residents and visitors..
 Well-organized landscapes ensure minimal conflict among users and provide
attractive designs to reinforce broader objectives for the surrounding neighborhood.
Solar lighting: Solar lighting bollards provide ideal enhancements for
outdoor landscape designs. They ensure visibility along pathways and
surrounding parking lots during dark and low-light conditions.

13. Where to install landscaping bollards
Bollards can be used in any outdoor landscape:
•Commercial/industrial offices and facilities
•Multi-family residential buildings (apartments and townhomes)
•College and university campuses
•Public buildings
•Parks, cemeteries and community pathways
•Streets and parking lots

14. Gates In
Landscaping
A gate or gateway is a point of entry to a space enclosed by walls, or a
moderately sized opening in some sort of fence.
 Gates may prevent or control the entry or exit of individuals, or they may
be merely decorative
Side yard and front entry gates, sometimes referred to as pedestrian gates,
allow people to access the backyard or entryway.
 A pedestrian gate should be a minimum of 36 inches wide. Most
pedestrian gates are single gates; however, if you prefer the look of a double
gate this is also a possibility. A double pedestrian gate looks great for a front
entry.
 This type of gate should swing inwards and usher guests into your garden.

16. Wrought Iron Gates –
Wrought iron is one of the most popular ornamental gate types.
It provides a classic old-world feel that is unmatched.
 Custom wrought-iron gates can be created with intricate designs
and patterns.
 Some gates are designed to look like trees, leaves or plants,

17. Wooden Gates –
A wooden gate will provide a relaxed and welcoming entrance to
any garden.
 Wooden gates can have a solid design if you are concerned with
privacy, or an open, picket like style.
 The top of a wooden gate can be curved, scalloped or even
lattice.
 A coat of paint or stain can transform a wooden gate into an
artistic doorway into the landscape beyond.

18. Vinyl Gates –
The best thing about a vinyl gate is that it requires very little
maintenance. A vinyl gate will not rust or rot and will likely last much longer
than wood or metal.
 Vinyl gates typical come in light colors, white and beige being the most
common.
 With vinyl you'll be able to choose from a variety of styles such as a
picket gate, a privacy gate or a lattice gate.

19. Signage In Landscaping
Signage, refers to the design or use of signs and symbols to
communicate a message to a specific group, usually for the purpose
of marketing or a kind of advocacy.
A signage also means signs collectively or being considered as a
group.

20. Sign shape
The shape of a sign can help to convey its message. Shape can be
brand- or design-based, or can be part of a set of signage conventions
used to standardize sign meaning. Usage of particular shapes may vary by
country and culture.
Some common signage shape conventions are as follows:
Rectangular signs are often used to portray general information to an
audience.
Circular signs often represent an instruction that must be followed,
either mandatory or prohibitive.
Triangular signs are often warning signs, used to convey danger or
caution.

RAILINGS
Probably one of the most useful
elements in the landscape, railing or
fences not only provides a visual
demarcation of property ownership,
but it also performs a necessary
function of both protection and
prevention often required by the law.

25. WOOD VERSES VINYL
•Vinyl is nearly five times as strong as wood and thus it takes much more to
bring down a vinyl fence than a wooden one.
•The flexibility of vinyl makes it a good choice in places that witness extreme
weather conditions such as strong winds and rain.
•Wood fences are more likely to break and collapse in such weather.

27. LAMPOST
•Lamp posts add a polished look to landscape design
and architecture, in both commercial and residential
settings.
• They can be decorative, functional, or a
combination of both.
• Lamp posts are made out varying materials such as
wood, copper, and aluminum, and are available in a
wide variety of materials and heights.
• High end styles even include custom designs ranging
from simple to ornate. Short electric or gas lamps are
a charming addition to smaller areas, such as home
gardens.
