We design and install LED tree uplighting for homeowners across St Albans, Harpenden and Hertfordshire. Our garden lighting solutions highlight trees, planting and landscape features, adding depth and atmosphere to outdoor spaces after dark. Installed by a NICEIC Approved Contractor.
Tree uplighting is one of the most effective ways to add depth, character and atmosphere to your garden after dark. We use carefully positioned LED uplights to highlight tree trunks, branches and canopies, creating striking focal points that enhance your outdoor space and landscape design.
Whether you want to showcase a mature tree, ornamental planting or a feature within your garden, we design and install bespoke tree lighting tailored to your property. Our tree uplighters are often incorporated into wider garden lighting schemes, helping improve visibility, ambience and the overall appearance of your outdoor living areas.
As experienced garden lighting specialists, we install energy-efficient tree uplighting throughout St Albans, Harpenden and Hertfordshire. All installations are completed by qualified electricians in accordance with BS 7671 Wiring Regulations and applicable Building Regulations requirements.
Most ornamental and medium-sized trees require one or two uplighters. Larger specimen trees may need three or four fittings for balanced illumination.
Uplighters are installed at or below ground level in garden soil, facing soil moisture, frost, standing water, root growth, and maintenance activity. IP rating and cable specification are critical for long-term performance.
| Rating | Protection | Tree Uplighting Application | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| IP65 | Dust-tight, water jet-proof | Spike and surface-mounted uplighters in well-drained soil | Minimum |
| IP67 | Dust-tight, immersion to 1m | In-ground recessed uplighters set below the soil surface | Recommended |
| IP68 | Continuous immersion | In-ground fittings in areas with poor drainage or a high water table | Wet Ground |
We installed discreet lighting and power across three designer gardens at RHS Wisley. Using 32 lights and six power supplies to highlight rare plants and create a calming, immersive evening experience.
During a £14 million spa refurbishment, we worked with leading designers to install lighting for a tranquil courtyard garden — a scheme that brings calm, elegance, and atmosphere as day turns to night.
Working alongside lighting and garden designers, we delivered a bespoke scheme for this six acre estate in Chesham covering ancient trees, meadows, fountains, and formal gardens.
