Show off the Spread of the Fronds

Palm tree light for heightThe leaves of a Palm are called fronds and are a vital part of what makes Palm trees so exotic and lovely. We assess the width of each tree's fronds to choose a light with a beam spread wide enough to show it off. While reaching the full spread is the goal, we have to be sure the color temperature is just right for reaching high enough in the tree to achieve the desired effect.

PALM LIGHT: Shine a Light to the Top

The color and intensity of Palm tree lighting are vital to honoring the individual tree's glorious height. Palm trees vary widely in height. Some are the size of shrubs, while others tower over your property with glorious majesty. With a lighting expert on your side, you can expect to see your Palm tree illuminated to the highest of heights no matter how tall it is. After all, your tallest Palms are quite likely beloved for their height, and that is a beauty you should enjoy both day and night.

Highlight the One-of-a-Kind Gorgeous Tree Trunk

The unique texture of your tree's stem is due to the growth of these leaves and all of the years it has thrived and shed its fronds. We utilize a perfect wash technique up the stem of your Palm to show off the one-of-a-kind markings that give it texture while also reaching up into the canopy at the top!
