Wall washing, path and deck lighting, and power to outbuildings on properly buried armoured cable rather than an extension lead through a window.
Who this is for. Anyone who has spent money on a garden they cannot see after five o clock in the winter.
Most gardens get one floodlight over the back door, which flattens everything and annoys the neighbours. Lighting a garden properly means picking out the things worth seeing: the texture of a wall, the shape of the planting, the route down the path.
We photograph most of these the night we finish, which is why the ones on this site look like that.
Outdoor circuits are not indoor circuits moved outside. Everything is IP rated for where it actually sits, RCD protected, and any supply to a shed, garage or garden office runs in steel wire armoured cable buried at the correct depth with marker tape above it. That is the difference between an installation and a hazard.
If you are working out there daily you need a proper sub-main, its own small consumer unit, and enough capacity for heating in January. We size it for what you will actually plug in.
It is the only way to see what is worth lighting.

Yes, and we will usually suggest a timer or a photocell over an app, because those keep working when the wifi does not.
We can, or we work alongside your landscaper. Coordinating it before the hard landscaping goes down saves a lot of money.
