Light the tree that owns the lawn.

Moonstruck Lighting lifts a multi-trunk canopy and keeps the stone house as a warm backdrop.

This is Moonstruck Lighting’s own project photograph. The subject is not the house but the tree in front of it: warm uplights reveal the trunks and the lower canopy, and the stone facade reads as a backdrop rather than the main event.

Low path markers do their job and no more, and the entry is clear without the lawn being lit. It is the installers’ hierarchy again, rearranged around a tree.

From the project

Moonstruck describes its work as design-build: it designs a scheme, installs it and maintains it, with annual maintenance and service calls1. The effects it lists include up lighting, path lighting, down lighting and feature accent lighting1.

Look at the trunks. More than one catches the light, which suggests the fittings sit on more than one side of the tree; a single uplight tends to merge a multi-trunk tree into one flat shape.
