Garden lighting in Meads, Eastbourne
Meads gardens sit high above the seafront on the Downs' edge, and that exposure decides everything about how they should be lit. Period villas along Meads Road and Darley Road have mature planting, deep front gardens and stonework worth showing after sundown — but the same westerly air that shapes the trees also strips the finish off ordinary outdoor fittings within a few seasons.
What we typically light in Meads
- Uplighting mature specimen trees and hedging in established Victorian and Edwardian plots
- Grazing flint and stone elevations so the architecture reads at night without floodlighting it
- Steps, level changes and sloped driveways lit for safe footing on the hill
- 316 stainless and solid bronze throughout — powder-coated aluminium does not survive this postcode
We also cover Meads Village, Holywell, East Dean Road and the upper end of Old Town, and everywhere else within roughly 5 miles of Eastbourne.

Services available in Meads

Tree & Feature Uplighting
Aimed uplights on mature specimens — copper beech, Scots pine, magnolia — set to graze the trunk and lift the canopy.
Security & Floodlighting
PIR-controlled, warm-white floods sited off the eaves rather than on them, so the beam actually covers the garden.
