The work
What this covers
Good lighting doubles the hours you actually use your garden, and it does more for kerb appeal after dark than anything else you can spend the money on. We design the scheme around what is worth looking at — a specimen tree, the stonework, the line of a path — rather than dotting fittings along the edge and hoping.
Everything is low-voltage, run in buried cable to a correctly sized transformer, with zones you can switch separately. Fittings are solid brass or copper: they weather rather than corrode, and they are still serviceable in ten years.
- Lighting design A plan showing fixture types, positions and zones before anything is bought
- Correct transformer sizing Calculated to load, so lamps run at full brightness and last
- Buried cable runs Trenched and sleeved, not pegged along the surface
- Solid brass fittings Weather to a patina instead of rusting out in three seasons

Walkthrough
We hand over on site, and the two-year guarantee starts.
Our guarantee
If it moves, we come back
Everything we build carries a two-year workmanship guarantee on top of whatever the material manufacturer offers. That is not a marketing line — it is why we spend the money on base depth and drainage that a cheaper quote skips.
The crew that built it is the crew that comes back. There is no warranty department to argue with.
- Two-year workmanship guarantee in writing
- Material warranties registered in your name
- The original crew handles any callback
- No charge for anything that is our workmanship

Good to know
Common questions
Will it push my electricity bill up?
Barely. A typical LED scheme draws less than a single old incandescent bulb.
Can you add to it later?
Yes, provided the transformer has headroom. We size for that deliberately.
Do the lights need an electrician?
Only the outdoor socket for the transformer. Everything past that is low-voltage.
How long do the fittings last?
Solid brass fittings run for decades. LED lamps are rated around 40,000 hours.
Are the cables buried?
Yes, trenched and sleeved. We do not peg cable along the surface.
Can I control it from my phone?
Yes, with a smart transformer or a Wi-Fi enabled timer.
What happens in winter?
The fittings are rated for it. We recommend marking them before snow clearing starts.
Will it annoy the neighbours?
No, if it is aimed properly. We shield and angle fittings to keep light off boundaries.
Do you repair other people's systems?
Yes, and we most often find undersized transformers or surface-run cable.
How long does an install take?
Most residential schemes are one to two days on site.
