Garden Lighting in Ore
TN35
Ore sits high above the town, which means slightly less direct salt than the seafront but a lot more slope. Gardens here climb, and the difference between a garden that gets used after dark and one that doesn't is almost always whether the steps are lit.
Schemes tend to be practical first: safe circulation from the back door to the top of the plot, then accents on planting once the route works.
What Ore gardens need
Steps and level changes
Recessed riser lights or low side-mounted fittings on every flight. Even, low-glare light on the tread is what makes a steep garden feel safe.
Wind exposure at height
Higher ground catches the wind. Stake-mounted fittings get proper ground sleeves so they stay aimed through a winter.
Views back over the town
Where a garden looks out over Hastings, we keep light levels low near the viewpoint so the view isn't washed out by your own lighting.
Ore questions
- Do you cover Ore and the Ore Valley?
- Yes, TN35, including Ore Village, Broomgrove and Clive Vale.
- What's the first thing to light in a sloping garden?
- The steps. Lighting the level changes makes the garden usable; everything else is decoration on top of that.
- Is Ore far enough from the sea to use cheaper fittings?
- No. Salt air carries well inland here, and we install the same brass and 316 stainless specification throughout the service area so the corrosion guarantee applies everywhere.
