- Position lights 1-2m from tree base
- Angle up into canopy, not at trunk
- Bury or hide cables
- Use transformer rated for number of lights

⚠️ Common mistakes: Lights too close (harsh shadows), inadequate transformer, visible cables, pointing straight at trunk

Frequently Asked Questions
What's tree uplighting?
Ground-level lights pointing up at trees to illuminate branches and foliage from below. Creates dramatic shadows and highlights tree structure. Transforms your garden at night.
What kind of lights do you use?
Low-voltage LED spike lights usually - safe, energy efficient, easy to reposition if needed. They're weatherproof and designed for permanent outdoor use. You choose the lights, I position and install them properly.
Where do the lights get power from?
They run off a transformer (usually in garage or shed) via low-voltage cable buried or surface-run to each light position. I'll plan the cable routing and install the transformer somewhere appropriate.
How many lights does one tree need?
Depends on tree size and effect wanted. Small tree: 1-2 lights. Medium tree: 2-3 lights. Large tree: 3-4 lights for full coverage. I'll advise based on your specific trees.
Can you position them then I install?
Better if I do the full installation - positioning, cable routing, transformer connection all matter for good results and safety. Low-voltage but still needs doing properly.
