Professional Tree Lighting

Make Your Trees the Stars of the Night

Tree Lighting Techniques

• •Uplighting from the base to illuminate the full canopy and trunk structure
• •Cross-lighting with multiple fixtures to eliminate flat shadows and add depth
• •Moonlighting from above to simulate natural moonlight filtering through branches
• •Silhouetting to backlight trees against walls or fences for dramatic outlines
• •Grazing along textured bark to highlight the trunk's natural character
• •Canopy wash for broad, even illumination of large specimen trees

Our Process

1. 1

   Tree Assessment

   We evaluate each tree's species, size, canopy shape, trunk character, and position relative to the home and other landscape features. We identify the best lighting technique for each specimen.

2. 2

   Fixture Selection and Placement

   We choose the right fixture type, beam angle, and lumen output for each tree. Larger trees may require multiple fixtures positioned at different angles for full coverage and depth.

3. 3

   Installation

   Our crew positions fixtures at optimal distances from the trunk, angling each for maximum visual impact. All wiring is buried, and fixtures are secured but adjustable for future fine-tuning.

4. 4

   Nighttime Adjustment

   We return after dark to adjust every fixture, ensuring each tree is lit to its full potential. This step is critical because the visual effect can only be properly evaluated at night.
