Landscape Tree Mount Accessory

Tree mounts use stand‑off brackets to keep hardware off the bark and allow airflow, reducing the risk of disease and bark damage.

Mount 20–40 ft high for moonlighting and aim through foliage at wide angles for dappled, natural patterns on the ground.

Use stainless lag screws with stand‑offs and rubber spacers; avoid crushing bark. Do not overtighten into living tissue.

Yes—stainless straps can work where drilling isn’t allowed. Use padded bands and check tension regularly to avoid girdling.

Run UV‑resistant cable along the trunk with soft ties, leave expansion loops for growth, and avoid girdling branches with tight wraps.

Choose mounts with elongated slots or adjustable stand‑offs so the assembly can be loosened and re‑spaced as the tree grows.

Aim fixtures away from windows and add cowls or hex‑cell louvers. Test at night and adjust to hide the light source from common views.

Yes—downlights with wide optics and glare control are designed for moonlighting. Choose damp/wet‑rated fixtures with sealed housings.

Schedule seasonal checks to loosen straps, trim around hardware, clean lenses, and re‑aim after growth or storms.

Some municipalities protect heritage trees. Check local rules or consult an arborist when in doubt.
