Your yard doesn't end at sunset. Don't let it disappear.

A focused starter system covering your front trees and entry runs $800 to $2,000. Most full-property systems land between $2,000 and $4,500 (averaging about $3,500), and large estates with canopy moonlighting and smart controls run $4,500 and up. Pricing is driven mainly by fixture count - quality brass fixtures installed run roughly $150 to $250 each - and every quote is itemized per fixture so you can start with one zone and add more later without redoing anything.

Not the way we do it. Low-voltage wiring only needs shallow burial, so we can route it around root zones instead of trenching through them. Fixtures mounted in trees are attached with tree-safe hardware that allows for growth - never straps or screws that girdle a limb. Our Scouts Lighting Pros design and install every system and work alongside the Tree Scouts arborists, which is exactly why we added lighting as a service.

Moonlighting places soft downlights high in a tree's canopy - typically 20 to 30 feet up - so light filters down through the branches and casts dappled shadow patterns on the ground, like a full moon through the leaves. It's the most natural-looking effect in landscape lighting, and it requires a climber to install and maintain properly, which is why most lighting companies don't offer it.

Very little. Modern low-voltage LED systems typically draw less power than a single old incandescent porch bulb - running a full system every evening usually costs a few dollars a month. Systems run on an automatic timer or photocell, so they come on at dusk without you thinking about it.

Yes. Trees grow, and a fixture aimed perfectly this year will be lighting a branch by next. We re-aim, adjust, and service the systems we install - and because we're likely already trimming your trees, lighting checkups fold naturally into your regular tree care.
