Tree Uplighting Basics
The tree lighting technique of uplighting can create a breathtaking look in any space. Using lights pointed upward toward boughs and leaves, you can transform any tree into a stunning focal point.
Uplighting is an art – not just anyone can do it. Because all trees are different and feature distinctive shapes.
A tree’s location within its surrounding landscape plays an important role in which lights to use, the angles of the lights and even the color temperature of the lights. It’s important that you work with the professionals at Dallas Landscape Lighting to get it right.
The general guidelines that our team follows for tree lighting are:
Small trees are generally better illuminated with a small accent light pointed toward the primary viewing angle. Often, the best way to uplight a small tree is to focus the illumination on the canopy.
Medium trees can benefit from cross-lighting. Ideally, you can use a pair (or more) of accent lights to illuminate the tree’s canopy. You want to aim the light at the tree’s primary viewing angle.
Large trees (those measuring 60 to 100 feet in height) generally need a nice combination of accent lights. The lights should all be angled differently, depending on the tree’s shape, its canopy’s fullness, and more.
The Dallas Landscape Lighting team generally talks to property owners about their visions before helping them select the right types of lights. Once we know what you’re looking for, we can develop a plan that helps create just the right look.

Blending Moonlighting and Uplighting
Blending outdoor moonlighting with uplighting techniques creates a natural, serene atmosphere that mimics the soft glow of moonlight filtering through branches while accenting the tree from the bottom.
This technique involves placing lights high in trees or other elevated positions to cast gentle, dappled light downwards, simulating the effect of natural moonlight.
It’s particularly effective in large gardens or on spacious properties where achieving ambient, widespread lighting can significantly enhance the nighttime landscape aesthetic.
By carefully positioning these lights, the Dallas Landscape Lighting team ensures that the illumination is subtle yet expansive, providing enough light for navigation and enjoyment without detracting from the night’s natural beauty.

This approach not only elevates the visual appeal of an outdoor space but also adds a layer of security and safety, all while maintaining an enchanting nocturnal environment.
Tree Wrapping
Tree wrapping, a different yet equally captivating tree lighting technique, involves tightly wrapping strands of lights around the trunk and branches of a tree. This method creates a dazzling display, highlighting the tree’s structure and adding a festive ambiance to any outdoor setting.
When executing tree wrapping, the Dallas Landscape Lighting team meticulously arranges lights to ensure even spacing and secure attachment, preventing damage to the tree while achieving a uniform glow. This technique is especially popular during the holiday season, but it can be employed year-round to add charm and visual interest to landscapes.
The types of lights used for tree wrapping can vary, with options ranging from traditional white or multi-colored lights to more modern LED strands that provide energy efficiency and longer lifespan. Regardless of the choice, the result is a radiant and welcoming environment that captivates visitors and enhances the outdoor experience.
