Lighting up trees and shrubs is one of the easiest ways to transform your yard into a holiday wonderland. String lights woven through branches or wrapped around trunks create sparkle, depth and warmth that can’t be achieved by roofline lights alone.
Lighting Ideas for Trees and Shrubs
- Large trees: Spiral-wrap trunks and major branches with larger bulbs for dramatic impact.
- Small shrubs: Use net lighting for even coverage and a glowing effect.
- Color mixing: Combine warm white with multi-color strands for playful balance.
- Focal points: Highlight entry paths, a front-yard oak, or a grouping of evergreens.

Why Use a Professional?
DIY wrapping often leads to tangles, uneven spacing, or unsafe setups. A professional installer provides:
- Even distribution – symmetry and coverage that looks polished.
- Commercial-grade products – brighter, longer-lasting lights.
- Safe access – specialized equipment to reach tall branches.
- Weatherproofing – cords and connections secured for outdoor use.
Investing in professional tree and shrub lighting ensures your yard looks magical while saving you time and preventing injury. With expert help, your home will shine as the centerpiece of holiday cheer.
