Whether you want to highlight specific features like trees or pathways or create a warm ambiance for evening gatherings, our team delivers customized solutions tailored to your needs. Using low voltage landscape lighting, we ensure energy efficiency and stunning results.

Why Choose Professional Landscape Lighting Installation?

Opting for professional landscape lighting installation ensures lasting performance and outdoor design excellence. Unlike DIY landscape lighting, our expert team handles every detail, from design to electrical connections, minimizing risks like electrical shock. We use high-end light fixtures and low voltage systems for a safe and easy project that transforms your property.

Safety and Expertise

Working with low voltage lighting reduces the risk of electrical hazards compared to line voltage systems. Our licensed electricians ensure all components are installed correctly, with little risk to you or your property. We also check for underground utilities before digging, protecting your landscape and ensuring a seamless installation process.

Customized Design

Every landscape is unique, so we create a tailored layout to highlight specific features of your yard. From path lighting to floodlights that illuminate large areas, we strategically place fixtures to enhance your outdoor space. Our designs consider the sun’s position and your aesthetic preferences for a cohesive look.

How We Install Landscape Lighting

Our streamlined installation process ensures your landscape lighting system is set up efficiently and works flawlessly. Here’s how we bring light to your outdoor areas:

1. Planning & Design

The first step is understanding your vision. We assess your lawn and garden, discuss features you want to highlight, and create a lighting layout. This plan includes the placement of light fixtures, low voltage cable, and the transformer to power the system.

2. Site Preparation

We carefully lay out the low voltage wire, digging shallow trenches or a narrow trench where needed. Our team ensures all wires are buried safely, often using conduit for added protection, to keep your landscape pristine.

Step 3: Installing Fixtures and Components

We install landscape lights, connecting each fixture to the low voltage cable using wire strippers and secure connectors. Fixtures are mounted directly into the ground or on structures, ensuring stability. The transformer is plugged into an outdoor kitchen power source, and we calculate the total wattage to ensure the system operates efficiently.

4. Testing and Adjustments

Once installed, we test the system to confirm all lights are working properly. We make adjustments to the fixture angles and timer settings to optimize illumination. A timer ensures your lights turn on and off automatically, saving energy and enhancing convenience.

Benefits of Low Voltage Landscape Lighting

Low voltage landscape lighting is the preferred choice for most people due to its safety, efficiency, and versatility. Here’s why it’s ideal for your home:

Energy Efficiency

Using lower voltage, these systems consume less power, reducing your energy costs. The bulbs in low voltage fixtures last longer, requiring fewer replacements.

Safe Installation

The lower voltage reduces the risk of electrical shock, making it a safe and easy project for professional installation. The low voltage wire is easy to handle and install, ensuring a smooth process.

Flexible Design

Low voltage lighting allows us to push the boundaries of creativity. We can install fixtures to illuminate driveways and pathways, cover large areas with floodlights, or highlight specific features like water elements or garden beds.

Tools and Materials We Use

Our team uses professional-grade tools and materials to ensure a high-quality installation. From wire strippers for clean electrical connections to durable light fixtures, every component is chosen for reliability. We also use weather-resistant cables and connectors to protect your system from the elements.

The transformer is the heart of your landscape lighting system, converting house power to a safe lower voltage. We pair it with a timer to automate your lights, ensuring they illuminate your yard at the right times.

High-Quality Fixtures

Our fixtures are designed to withstand outdoor conditions while providing bright, consistent light. Whether you need path lights, spotlights, or floodlights, we select the best options to suit your landscape.
