Backyard & Garden Lighting in North York

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

My Bathurst Manor backyard has an old outdoor outlet, is it safe to build lighting off of it?

Not always. If it predates GFCI requirements we’ll upgrade it first, since it’s a quick fix that protects the rest of the lighting system.

Can you install path lighting for a Willowdale townhome’s small front yard?

Yes, smaller-scale entrance and walkway lighting is common for townhomes in Willowdale, and we size the system to the space rather than treating it as a full backyard project.

Do larger Newtonbrook lots need a bigger transformer for landscape lighting?

Often yes, since more fixtures and longer wire runs across a bigger yard call for a properly sized transformer. We calculate this during the property walkthrough.

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.
