Backyard & Garden Lighting in Burlington

How Backyard & Garden Lighting Works

1. 1

   Property walkthrough & design

   We walk the yard with you, identify what to highlight (paths, steps, trees, architectural features) and plan a fixture layout.

2. 2

   Transformer & circuit planning

   We size the transformer, plan low-voltage versus line-voltage runs, and confirm your existing outdoor circuit has the capacity, or plan a dedicated one.

3. 3

   Installation

   We install weatherproof fixtures and bury or route wiring cleanly, sized and rated correctly for outdoor, in-ground use.

4. 4

   Timer/smart control setup & walkthrough

   We set up timers or app-based controls where wanted and walk you through operating and maintaining the system.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you install dock or waterfront lighting for Roseland and Shoreacres properties?

Yes, dock and shoreline lighting is a common request along Burlington’s lakefront streets, and we run it as a weatherproof low-voltage circuit separate from the home’s main landscape lighting.

Can you design lighting for a backyard facing the Millcroft golf course?

Yes, we frequently design lighting layouts for Millcroft backyards that back onto the course, focused on making the view visible at night without spilling light onto the fairway.

Do you install low-voltage landscape lighting?

Yes, we design and install both low-voltage and line-voltage outdoor lighting systems, including transformers, path lights, and uplighting, sized correctly for your property.

Can outdoor lighting be added to an existing circuit?

It depends on your existing outdoor circuit capacity. We assess your panel and exterior wiring as part of every garden lighting quote and recommend a dedicated circuit or panel upgrade if needed.

How much does backyard and garden lighting cost?

Cost depends on the number of fixtures, whether you need low-voltage or line-voltage wiring, and the complexity of the layout. We provide a fixed quote after a walkthrough of your property.

Do I need a transformer for landscape lighting?

Low-voltage landscape lighting requires a transformer to step down power safely for outdoor fixtures. We size and place the transformer for easy access and reliable performance as part of every installation.

Can you add lighting to an existing deck or patio?

Yes, we regularly retrofit lighting into existing decks, patios, and walkways, running new wiring or tapping into existing circuits where capacity allows.
