Landscape lighting, from the first fixture to the timer

Every system is low-voltage: a transformer, cable and fixtures. What differs is where the light goes.

  • Path and step lighting

    Low fixtures that show the edge of a walk and light for stairs, set so the glow is on the ground and not in your eyes.

    • Path lights and bollards

    • Stair risers and strips under a rail

    • Lights at changes in level

  • Tree and shrub lighting

    Uplights at the base of a trunk, or fixtures in the canopy aimed down, placed after we see the tree at night.

    • Uplights and spotlights

    • Moonlight from the canopy

    • Lights that move as the tree grows

  • Wall and house lighting

    Light raked across stone, brick and stucco, and a wash on the entry that stays off the neighbor's windows.

    • Grazing and washing

    • Entry and door lighting

    • Garage and gable

  • Patio and outdoor kitchen lighting

    Layers of warm light at the table, the steps and the edge, dim enough to talk by.

    • Step and under-rail lights

    • String and pendant lights, wired to the system

    • Light for a grill or a bar

  • Gate, drive and entry lighting

    Light at the gate, along the drive edge and at the door.

    • Gate and column lights

    • Drive edge markers

    • House numbers lit from the side

  • Controls and added fixtures

    A dusk sensor, a timer or an app, and spare transformer capacity for the next fixture.

    • Dusk sensor and timer

    • App control

    • Adding or moving fixtures later

What's in a system

Fixtures, a transformer, cable and a control

A system is simple, and the price follows its parts.

Low-voltage fixtures are wired to a transformer that plugs into an outdoor outlet. Cable runs along the ground and is buried where it crosses a lawn or a bed. Where it has to cross concrete or pavers, we plan a path around it, or a sleeve, and tell you on the estimate.

The four parts

  • Fixtures: where the light lands

  • A transformer sized for the fixtures and some spare

  • Cable runs and the trenching they need

  • A dusk sensor, a timer or an app
