A Warm Welcome Starts at the Driveway
When you live on a property with a long driveway, your entrance sets the tone. For this rural home, nestled among the gum trees in the northern suburbs of Melbourne, our client wanted something that was both functional and beautiful — lighting that enhanced safety while making a bold first impression.
At Nillumbik Electrical, we designed and installed a fully custom driveway lighting solution that does exactly that.
What We Delivered
🔹 Over 100m of Bollard Lighting
We installed low-profile bollard lights to gently line the driveway, improving visibility without overpowering the natural landscape. These energy-efficient fixtures provide soft, directional lighting to guide guests safely to the home, whether they’re arriving at dusk or late in the evening.
🔹 Tree Uplighting for Natural Drama
Several key trees along the entrance were fitted with uplights, creating stunning vertical highlights that add drama and depth to the landscape. This also subtly illuminates the driveway without needing floodlights or harsh overhead options — keeping the rural feel intact.
🔹 Custom Backlit House Number
The showstopper? A bespoke illuminated house number embedded directly into a volcanic rock boulder.
We carefully installed LED-backlit numbers flush into the stone face, creating a clean, modern aesthetic that’s impossible to miss from the road — even in complete darkness. It’s durable, weatherproof, and looks incredible lit up at night.
