Why light large trees in the front yard?
Short answer: Mature trees can become major nighttime focal points and help visually connect the illuminated landscape with the house.
Mature trees can become major nighttime focal points and help visually connect the illuminated landscape with the house. A big oak in the front yard, lit well, ties the whole property together after dark.
Trees are the tallest things in most yards, and at night they are usually the first things to disappear. Lighting them brings the vertical scale of the property back.
One or two well-chosen trees can carry the entire front yard. You do not need to light them all — you need to light the right ones.

What we check in Atascocita
When we look at a property in Atascocita, we walk it after dark when we can, because that is when the lighting has to work. We look at the architecture, the mature trees, the walkways and steps, and the transformer and wiring that feed the system, then we check it against the landscape lighting service page to see what the property actually needs — what deserves light, what should stay dark, and what needs to be fixed before anything new goes in.
