The Garden Disappears at Sunset

People spend a lot on landscaping and then never see it for half the year. Once it is dark the yard stops existing, and the deck or patio goes with it.

Steps and level changes are the practical side of the same problem. A path you know in daylight is a trip hazard once the sun goes, and phone torches are nobody's idea of outdoor living.

Solar stake lights are the usual first attempt. They last a season, fade to nothing by ten o'clock, and end up in the bin.

Planned as one scheme

A Garden You Can Use at Night

Garden lighting works best planned as a whole rather than added a fitting at a time, because running the cable is most of the labour.

We use a mix depending on the space: uplights into trees and planting for the look of it, low-level path lighting for getting around, and strip or recessed lighting under steps so the edges read clearly.

Everything is properly rated for outdoors and the cable is run and protected the way it should be, which is why it is still working in five years.

There is usually some trenching for cable runs. We talk through the route first and keep the disruption as tidy as we can.

    My partner and I were thoroughly satisfied with Sam's service and the quality of workmanship he provided during our bathroom renovation, so much so that he has become our trusted electrician. We've confidently referred him to several neighbors, and he has never disappointed us. Most recently, he replaced our switchboard with honesty and integrity, ensuring no attempts to take advantage. Additionally, he installed a 15A GPO for charging our car. Despite the initially perceived complexity of the wiring, the end result was neat and organized. We highly recommend his services without hesitation.

Asked Questions

Garden Lighting Questions

  • There is usually some trenching, because outdoor cable has to be run and protected properly. We plan the route with you first and keep it as tidy as possible.

  • Mostly it comes down to how far the cable has to run and how hard the ground is to get through. The fittings themselves are rarely the biggest part of the cost.

  • Yes. Most garden lighting runs on a timer or a switched circuit so it comes on in the evening and goes off later, rather than being triggered by movement.

  • If it is done with correctly rated fittings and properly protected cable, yes. That is exactly where cheap outdoor installs fail.

  • Yes, and it is one of the most worthwhile parts. Step lighting is as much about safety as looks.
