    I'm new to the lighting world and am looking for a little advice. I apologize for the long winded email. My initial plan is below.
    1. Up lighting where the red circles are located with the exception of my address. I was thinking about installing a hardscape downlight to illuminate the address.
    2. I was thinking of adding path lights to the blue oval in on the right side of the house to light up the Yucca's. Roughly a 20 ft span with 4 yucca's.
    3. Uplights for lighting up the bald cypress trees.

    My questions are. I need help choosing which uplights (beam angle/wattage etc) for the appropriate areas. Example.
    - Would a flood light be more appropriate for the horsetail on the right side of the house or a spot light?
    -What is the best way to light up my Bald Cypress Trees?
    -Does it make sense to use one uplight for my Weeping Alaskan Cedar or two hitting that tree at different angles.
    -Also, with the large window that I have, is it impossible to light up the horsetail in the front of my house?
    - Garage/Porch - Should I replace the existing lights and go with something different?
    - Sidewalk - Should I do anything here?

    Ultimately, I'm looking for a cohesive plan that adequately lights up the minimal landscaping that I have. Looking for any and all feedback. Thank you for your help.
