A LANDSCAPE THAT HOLDS ITS PRESENCE AFTER DARK<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

Penning's Landscape Lighting carries the garden and the architecture into the evening, so the grounds stay composed from the terrace and from the rooms that look onto them. Penning plans the light into the landscape from the start and tends it as the garden grows, all handled by one in-house team that already knows the property.<\/span><\/p>\n

Penning Landscapes is a family-owned, single-source landscape firm that has designed, built, and maintained estate and winery gardens across Napa Valley and Sonoma Valley since 1988.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

WHAT'S INCLUDED<\/h2><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

Most lighting begins inside a design-build project. As the plan for the grounds takes shape, the lighting is drawn into it, so fixtures, transformers, and wiring are set while the site is open and the planting is still young. The systems are low-voltage LED, zoned and dimmable through programmable controls, so the grounds hold a soft glow on an ordinary night and come fully into their own for an evening of guests.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

Penning also maintains every system it installs. Through the maintenance relationship the team inspects and re-aims fixtures, replaces bulbs, cleans lenses and transformers, repairs connections as the trees fill in, and keeps a current map of every fixture, so the lighting stays documented rather than guessed at.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

Penning Landscapes has designed, built, and maintained estate and winery gardens across Napa Valley and Sonoma Valley since 1988. The firm is family owned and now in its second generation, led by Ben Penning, with more than 50 working in-house.<\/p>\n

Lighting sits inside that single-source work. The in-house team that shapes the grade, sets the stone, and plants the trees also places the fixtures, which comes from decades of building in Napa Valley: knowing how to tuck a fixture out of sight, how to wash a tree so it keeps its shape at night, and how to light a path so it reads soft and even.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n
