What to Expect During the Process
We walk the property with you to identify key areas for safety, security, and aesthetics before recommending fixture types and placement.
You receive a lighting plan and upfront estimate covering fixtures, transformers, wiring, and labor.
Low-voltage wiring is routed cleanly and buried where needed to avoid trip hazards and protect the cable.
Fixtures are positioned and aimed to highlight features without glare or light trespass onto neighboring properties.
We install timers or smart controls, test every fixture, and confirm the system operates as designed.
Safety & Planning Considerations
Use Outdoor-Rated Fixtures and Wiring
Exterior lighting must use wet-location-rated fixtures and burial-depth-compliant wiring. Indoor fixtures or standard cable will degrade and create hazards when exposed to moisture.
Protect Low-Voltage Wiring
Cable that is too shallow can be cut by edgers or lawnmowers. We install wiring at the correct depth and route it to avoid damage from foot traffic and landscaping tools.
Match the Transformer to the Load
Adding fixtures without checking transformer capacity can cause voltage drop and dim lighting. We size the transformer and wiring to support your system reliably.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does landscape lighting installation cost?
The cost depends on the number of fixtures, the size of the area, transformer requirements, and whether new outdoor outlets or trenches are needed. We provide an upfront estimate after assessing your property and lighting goals.
How long does outdoor lighting installation take?
A basic pathway lighting installation may take a few hours, while a full property design with multiple zones can take one to two days. We give you a time estimate during the consultation.
Do I need a permit for landscape lighting?
Most low-voltage landscape lighting does not require a permit. Adding new outdoor outlets, line-voltage circuits, or permanent exterior fixtures may require a permit. We handle any needed permits and ensure the work meets code.
Can you add to an existing landscape lighting system?
Yes. We can extend or upgrade an existing system, add new zones, replace failing fixtures, or install a larger transformer. We assess the current wiring and transformer capacity before adding load.
Can you install smart or automated outdoor lighting?
Yes. We install smart timers, astronomical clocks, and app-controlled systems so your landscape lighting turns on and off automatically based on schedule or sunset.
Will the lighting work in wet weather?
Yes. We use wet-location-rated fixtures and properly sealed connections designed for the Pacific Northwest climate. The system is installed to withstand rain and moisture year-round.
