Tree Uplighting & Accent Lighting in Verona & Madison, WI

The trees, walls and house front you want to see, lit softly from below.

Look out the window at night and most Madison yards disappear. Uplighting a large tree, a stone wall or the front of the house gives the yard back its shape, and help guests find the door. We place and aim each light so you see the tree or the stone, not the fixture.

What Good Accent Lighting Does

  • Lights the subject, hides the source. Fixtures sit low and out of sight, so the tree or wall glows and the light itself disappears.

  • Fewer lights, aimed well. A large tree may need two lights from different sides. A stone wall looks best lit from below along its face, not blasted from the front.

  • Kept out of windows. We check for glare from inside the house and from the street before anything is final.

  • Licensed and insured. Ask us for proof. Ask everyone you’re considering.

Planting new beds at the same time? Lights get placed for where the plants will be once they fill in, not where they are today.

Why Uplighting Often Looks Flat

More light isn’t what makes a yard look good at night. Light three things well, like a tree, a stone wall and the entry, and the whole yard looks lit.

Accent lighting done without a plan usually ends up as:

  • One bright light washing the whole front of the house

  • Lights aimed into bedroom windows or at the neighbors

  • Trees that grow past their lights within a few years

  • Fixtures buried by mulch or clipped by the mower

How we build: Good accent lighting picks a few features, lights each from the side that shows its shape, and keeps the light out of everyone’s eyes. It leaves room for trees to grow and beds to fill in, so it still looks right years later.
