What it is
Uplighting means placing a light low to the ground and aiming it up at something, such as a palm, a tree, a column, or the front of the house, so that it glows from below instead of from above, the way sunlight hits it.
How Aiden installs it
A fixture is placed near the base of the palm or tree, or a few feet out from a wall, and aimed upward. Aiden adjusts the angle and the spread after dark, so the light follows the trunk and fronds or climbs the wall evenly. He can use more than one fixture on a large tree to fill in any shadows.
What you get
At night a lit palm becomes a feature of the yard instead of a dark shape. Uplighting adds depth and drama, makes the front of the house look taller and more finished, and gives your home a presence from the street. In South Florida, where palms are everywhere, it's one of the most popular looks.
