Industry experts Todd Goers, Director of Sales at WAC Lighting, and Kevin Smith, National Technical Support and Trainer at Brilliance LED, provide their insights.</p> <p>As demand increases for responsible <strong><a href="https://www.landscapemanagement.net/tag/landscape_lighting/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">outdoor lighting</a></strong>, the industry is proving that <strong><a href="https://www.landscapemanagement.net/tag/design/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">designers</a></strong> don’t need to sacrifice environmental integrity for visual impact. The principle is that quality lighting can be achieved without compromising the night sky.</p> <h3>The meaning behind “Pristine Night, Stunning Light”</h3> <p><figure id="attachment_153118" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-153118" style="width: 372px" class="wp-caption alignright"><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" class=" wp-image-153118" src="https://www.landscapemanagement.net/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/AOLP-620-300x163.jpg" alt="Photo: The Association of Outdoor Lighting Professionals" width="372" height="202" srcset="https://www.landscapemanagement.net/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/AOLP-620-300x163.jpg 300w, https://www.landscapemanagement.net/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/AOLP-620.jpg 620w" sizes="(max-width: 372px) 100vw, 372px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-153118" class="wp-caption-text">Photo: The Association of Outdoor Lighting Professionals</figcaption></figure></p> <p>A “pristine night” describes outdoor lighting that preserves natural darkness by reducing glare, minimizing light trespass and limiting skyglow. In contrast, “stunning light” refers to the visual impact, contrast and aesthetic appeal achieved through intentional lighting design. The current understanding is that it&#8217;s possible to have both.</p> <p>“To me, a pristine lighting system is one that reflects what the customer really wants to feel when they look out at night,” said Kevin Smith of Brilliance LED. “It’s not just about what looks good—it’s about whether someone feels at peace when they come home. We’re not just placing fixtures; we’re designing emotion.”</p> <p>“A beautifully designed job isn’t just about lighting up every tree or feature—it’s about restraint,” said Todd Goers of WAC Lighting. “Less is more. When done right, soft illumination can bring out texture and shape in ways that high-output lighting cannot.&#8221;</p> <h3>Techniques that support both beauty and responsibility</h3> <p>Designers are using a combination of precise aiming, shielding, dimming and scheduling to provide a refined nighttime experience and reduce environmental disruption.</p> <p>“Downlighting is key,” said Smith. “It creates beautiful moonlit effects without sending any light into the sky. Grazing walls or highlighting texture with tightly aimed fixtures avoids spill and adds drama.”</p> <p>“With adjustable beam angles, lumen outputs, and tunable whites, lighting pros can tailor every fixture to its purpose. That means lighting only what needs to be lit and nothing more,” said Goers.</p> <p>Shielding also plays a big role in achieving this effect. “A few dollars spent on quality cowls and louvers can make all the difference,” said Goers. “You hide the light source, control glare, and let the effect—not the fixture—take center stage.”</p> <h3>Designing for emotion, not just illumination</h3> <p>Part of the movement toward pristine night design is a shift in how lighting is perceived — not just as a tool, but as a means of generating emotional experience.</p> <p>“Think about how lighting makes you feel in a restaurant,” said Smith. “Bright lights in a fast-food place tell you to eat and leave. Soft, warm lighting in a romantic setting tells you to linger. Outdoor lighting should do the same—set the mood, match the lifestyle, and support relaxation or celebration.”</p> <h3>Looking ahead</h3> <p>As interest in dark sky preservation increases and lighting control technologies become more accessible, the balance of “Pristine Night, Stunning Light” is expected to play a more prominent role in residential and commercial projects.</p> <p>“Lighting is evolving,” said Goers. “Homeowners are getting more sophisticated. They want elegance and responsibility. With today’s tools and expertise, we can give them both.”</p> <p>&lt;p&gt;The post <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.landscapemanagement.net/aolp-highlights-new-approach-to-outdoor-lighting/">AOLP highlights new approach to outdoor lighting</a> first appeared on <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.landscapemanagement.net">Landscape Management</a>.&lt;/p&gt;</p> Vectorworks to host annual global Design Days https://www.landscapemanagement.net/vectorworks-to-host-annual-global-design-days/ Landscape Management urn:uuid:01860026-a77b-1d4c-dcec-05a07da85cbb Mon, 21 Jul 2025 20:11:35 +0000 <p>Attendees will have the opportunity to connect with industry peers, discover trends and experience the newest features of Vectorworks 2026, set to launch in September 2025.</p> <p>&lt;p&gt;The post <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.landscapemanagement.net/vectorworks-to-host-annual-global-design-days/">Vectorworks to host annual global Design Days</a> first appeared on <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.landscapemanagement.net">Landscape Management</a>.&lt;/p&gt;</p> <p><strong><a href="https://www.landscapemanagement.net/tag/vectorworks/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Vectorworks</a></strong>, a global provider of design and BIM software, is once again hosting its annual global Design Days.

After a DryJect service, playing surfaces remain clean and smooth, with no debris left behind. The process requires minimal downtime and typically does not result in lost revenue from facility maintenance closures associated with traditional core aerification.</p> <p>DryJect’s patented high-pressure water injection system creates aeration holes through the root zone to fracture the soil, while its vacuum <strong><a href="https://www.landscapemanagement.net/tag/technology/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">technology</a></strong> simultaneously fills the holes with sand, peat or other soil amendments.</p> <h4>Key benefits of Dryject include: </h4> <ul> <li><strong>Use in tandem with or in place of traditional aeration:</strong> With DryJect added to your maintenance program, you can improve your existing program and possibly lower the number of coring events.  Incorporating  DryJect into your existing aerification schedule, especially after a deep tine event, magnifies the benefits of deep tine aeration. </li> <li><strong>No large capital investment:</strong> As DryJect is a service, there’s no large capital outlay or special employee training required. DryJect independent franchise service providers expertly operate the equipment, leaving most of your staff to fulfill routine tasks. </li> <li><strong>Recapture lost revenue:</strong> As DryJect is virtually invisible, there’s little to no lost revenue from the kinds of long-term post-treatment closures you experience with core aerification. <strong><a href="https://www.landscapemanagement.net/tag/turfgrass/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Turfgrass</a></strong> is ready for play shortly after the DryJect process.

So, if you’ve hit rock (or, in this case, concrete) bottom, the only place to go is up.</p> <p>For seven years, John Mini has managed the more than 8,000 ivy plants that make up the living walls of this prestigious hotel. But, as expected, managing this green exterior has some unique challenges.</p> <p>“(We) really appreciate the client&#8217;s trust in our capabilities to service a wall of this importance and size and also the client&#8217;s commitment to incorporating natural elements into all their signature properties,” says Keith Behringer, director of business development.</p> <p>He says tough NYC winters means replacing some plants every year, and accessing the wall is tricky. Maintenance is conducted on a lift truck, and due to the city’s limited space and busy nature, crews arrive extra early to secure parking without impeding pedestrians or the hotel&#8217;s operations.</p> <p>Matt Wessol, director of outdoor, says a living wall like this has no normal routine, especially in the unpredictable climate. Maintenance is dictated by what the wall needs at any given moment, and he praises his team for being adaptable with this project.</p> <p>John Mini won a gold award from the <strong><a href="https://www.landscapemanagement.net/tag/national-association-of-landscape-professionals/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NALP’s</a></strong> <a href="https://www.landscapeprofessionals.org/LP/Programs/LP/Awards/Awards_of_Excellence.aspx" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>2024 Awards of Excellence program</strong></a> for this project.</p> <p> <a href="https://www.landscapemanagement.net/the-big-one-wall-to-wall-excellence/lm0725_tbo_2r/"><img decoding="async" width="640" height="427" src="https://www.landscapemanagement.net/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/LM0725_TBO_2R-1024x683.jpg" class="attachment-large size-large" alt="Some parts of the living wall are more susceptible to harsh winds or exhaust vents blowing out hot air, so Wessol says the irrigation system was broken into more zones to provide better control in certain areas.

But for lawn care operators (LCOs) and <strong><a href="https://www.landscapemanagement.net/tag/turf/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">turf</a></strong> pros, the dog days of summer also come with a slew of turf-related issues, too.</p> <p><figure id="attachment_151611" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-151611" style="width: 391px" class="wp-caption alignright"><img decoding="async" class=" wp-image-151611" src="https://www.landscapemanagement.net/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/QualiProSponsor_Logo_620px-300x161.jpg" alt="Logo: Quali-Pro" width="391" height="210" srcset="https://www.landscapemanagement.net/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/QualiProSponsor_Logo_620px-300x161.jpg 300w, https://www.landscapemanagement.net/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/QualiProSponsor_Logo_620px.jpg 620w" sizes="(max-width: 391px) 100vw, 391px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-151611" class="wp-caption-text">Logo: <strong><a href="https://www.landscapemanagement.net/tag/quali-pro/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Quali-Pro</a></strong></figcaption></figure></p> <p>Drought, heat stress and fungal diseases can all sprout from the warm weather, but one of the most troublesome issues is gray leaf spot (GLS). This disease (<em>Pyricularia grisea</em>) is especially common in turfgrasses like perennial and annual ryegrass, tall fescue and St. Augustinegrass. Plus, warm, humid places such as the transition zone, mid-Atlantic regions and even the Midwest are particularly susceptible.</p> <p>“We tend to see it when we hit the 160 degree (F) cumulative temperatures (day and night),” says Jay Wyrick, turf and ornamental agronomist at <strong><a href="https://www.fineturflawncare.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">FineTurf</a></strong> in <strong><a href="https://www.landscapemanagement.net/tag/north-carolina/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">North Carolina</a></strong>. “It’s already in the high 90s here … then, when you get some rain or irrigate at the wrong times of the day, you’re going to start seeing problems.”</p> <p>One reason GLS is such an issue is due to how quickly it can destroy a lawn, Wyrick says. The fungus produces spores on infected leaves, which can spread through wind, rain, foot traffic or lawn equipment.</p> <p>“It can absolutely decimate a yard in about two weeks in a tall fescue lawn. I mean, it can really, really coalesce quickly,” he says.</p> <h3>Spot it fast</h3> <p>While Wyrick says the disease can sometimes be confused with drought or “melting out” to the untrained eye, GLS should usually stand out pretty quickly.</p> <p>The leaves will show circular or oval tan spots with dark brown borders, something Wyrick says can be compared to chicken pox. The spots can also become gray and fuzzy due to spore production in humid conditions.</p> <p>Patches of affected turf often become noticeably thin from dead and decaying leaf blades if left untreated, and due to the speed of GLS’ spread, quick identification is critical.</p> <h3>Finding new solutions</h3> <p>For Wyrick, his GLS control consists of common fungicides such as thiophanate-methyl (T-meth) and azoxystrobin.</p> <p>“That gives us a little better protection as a combo,” he says, recommending a quick, proactive approach to applying fungicides when the disease starts appearing.</p> <p>Another tip during prime GLS conditions is to stop mowing as much. Wyrick says the turf isn’t growing as quickly during the hot summers, and the constant mowing can further move the spores around while also <strong><a href="https://www.landscapemanagement.net/tag/turf-diseases/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">damaging the turf’s</a></strong> tissue.</p> <p>“I do see some issues with guys that mow on a weekly basis and get paid for weekly mowing — they can tend to cause a bigger problem with (spores) by moving them around,” he says. “We try to tell people, when it gets to 90 degrees with tall fescues, not to mow every week.”</p> <p>To help rely less on chemical control, Wyrick says he’s started looking to improve his turf through GLS-resistant seeds, adding that many seed producers are starting to develop genetically improved grass varieties that can better withstand diseases.</p> <p>“We know we can’t out-pesticide insects and diseases, so we’re trying to have better genetics in our turfgrass seed that we get for the fall,” Wyrick says. “When we go to aerating and seeding, you have several turfgrass varieties now that are gray leaf spot resistant or have more resistance to gray leaf spot.”</p> <p>&lt;p&gt;The post <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.landscapemanagement.net/leaf-the-turf-alone/">Leaf the turf alone</a> first appeared on <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.landscapemanagement.net">Landscape Management</a>.&lt;/p&gt;</p> You don’t have to spend a lot to update your bathroom and make a big impression.
