Tree & Shrub Lighting in Highland Park, IL

One call to (708) 316-4569 gets you a free quote and a landscape that looks its best from the street and the back patio both.

Highland Park is a town built around its trees. Between the ravines, the mature canopy on the older streets near downtown, and the layered landscaping so many homes carry here, the greenery is the architecture. Roofline lights are wonderful, but on lots like these, it's the lit trees and shrubs that make a property feel truly finished at night. That's the part most people can't do well from a ladder — and it's exactly what we specialize in.

What Tree & Shrub Lighting Includes

Landscape lighting is a craft of its own, separate from outlining a roof. When we light a Highland Park property, we plan for the way each plant actually grows.

Trunk & Branch Wrapping

We wrap trunks and major limbs in dense mini lights, keeping the spacing tight and consistent so the tree reads as a clean line of light rather than a scattered handful of bulbs. On tall, mature trees — the kind that line so many Highland Park lots — we carry the wrap up into the lower canopy for real height and drama.

Canopy & Specimen Lighting

A signature tree deserves to be the centerpiece. We light feature trees so the branch structure glows against the winter sky, whether you want a subtle, elegant sparkle or a fuller, showpiece effect for the holidays.

Shrub & Evergreen Lighting

Foundation shrubs, boxwoods, and evergreens get wrapped or gently draped, and we can uplight larger evergreens and garden beds so the whole landscape has depth instead of a flat wall of roofline light. It's the detail that makes a display look designed rather than decorated.

Warm White or a Custom Palette

Most North Shore homeowners lean toward a classic, tasteful warm white, and it looks stunning against snow and evergreen. If you'd rather have color or a mixed look, we map that out with you. Either way, everything runs on a timer so it comes on at dusk without a thought from you.

Why Professional Beats DIY on a Highland Park Lot

Store-bought strands and a step ladder can handle a small bush. They cannot handle a 40-foot tree on the edge of a ravine, and that's where the DIY plan usually ends.

Wrapping a tree well is genuinely hard: the spacing has to stay even as the branches taper, the strands have to be sized to the tree, and the wiring has to be run cleanly back to a hidden, weather-rated connection at grade. Do it by eye and it looks lumpy; do it on icy footing near a ravine and it's a real safety risk. Twinkle Bros Lighting LLC is fully insured, our crews wrap trees every day, and we use commercial-grade LED built to survive a Lake County winter instead of the brittle big-box strands that quit by New Year's. You get a cleaner result, a safer season, and your weekends back.

Our Process, Start to Finish

We keep it simple and predictable:

1. Free quote. Call (708) 316-4569 or request a quote online. We walk the property and learn which trees, shrubs, and beds matter to you.
2. Design. We propose which plants to light and how — wrap, canopy, or uplight — and the palette that suits your home.
3. Install. A scheduled crew wraps and lights everything with commercial-grade LED, tight even spacing, and hidden wiring run to a discreet timer.
4. Enjoy. Your landscape glows all season, backed by our full-season guarantee and free in-season service calls if a strand ever needs attention.
5. Takedown & storage. After the holidays we remove everything carefully — no snapped branches, no forgotten strands — then label and store it for next year.

What to Look For in a Highland Park Lighting Company

Landscape lighting is easy to do badly, so before you hire anyone in the Highland Park area, confirm a few things:

• Insurance. Anyone working around tall trees and ravines should be fully insured. We are.
• Commercial-grade materials. Ask what lights they use. We install commercial-grade LED, not big-box strands.
• A real takedown plan. Lights left on trees all winter get buried in ice and damage bark. We take everything down and store it.
• A full-season guarantee. If something goes dark in January, it should be fixed at no charge. That's how we work.

Serving Highland Park & the North Shore

We light homes throughout Highland Park and the surrounding North Shore — from the ravine lots and older tree-lined streets near downtown and Ravinia to the newer homes on the west side of town, and on through Highwood, Lake Forest, Deerfield, Glencoe, and Northbrook. Wherever your trees are, we can reach them and light them well.

If you've admired a beautifully lit tree on an evening walk and wondered how it's done, this is it — and it's a lot easier than you'd think.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does tree and shrub lighting cost in Highland Park, IL?
There's no flat rate, because it depends on how many trees and shrubs you want lit, how tall they are, and how full a look you're after. A few wrapped shrubs by the entry is a small job; a stand of mature canopy trees is a larger one. The only accurate number is a free on-site quote from Twinkle Bros Lighting LLC at (708) 316-4569.

Will wrapping the trees hurt them?
No. We use gentle wrapping techniques and remove everything at the end of the season, so nothing is left to constrict the bark or dig in as the tree moves in the wind. Careful takedown is exactly why leaving lights up year-round is a bad idea, and why we never do it.

Can you light very tall trees on a ravine lot?
Yes. Tall, hard-to-reach trees on Highland Park's ravine lots are our specialty — we carry the equipment and the insurance to wrap and light them safely, which is precisely the work that makes DIY risky.

Do you take the lights down and store them?
Yes. After the season we remove all the tree and shrub lighting, then label, box, and store it, so next year starts with a single phone call instead of a trip to the garage.
