Cypress’s mature oaks are the best feature to light on most properties. Done well, oak uplighting creates breathtaking nighttime drama. Here’s how the pros do it.

Use multiple fixtures

A single light flattens the tree. We place 2–4 brass well-lights around the trunk to wrap light up through the canopy, revealing structure from every angle.

Aim wide, then narrow

Wide-beam fixtures graze the trunk; tighter spots reach upper limbs. Layering beam angles separates a pro design from a hardware-store kit.

Add moonlighting from above

Discreet downlights high in the canopy cast a soft, dappled glow over patios and walkways.

Protect the tree

We use methods that never harm the tree and plan for growth. See our full tree & garden uplighting service.
