Backyard & Garden Lighting in Whitby

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

Can garden lighting be added to a newer Brooklin home without much extra work?

Usually yes, since the existing outdoor circuit typically already has capacity, so the project is mostly fixture layout and installation.

My home near Port Whitby harbour has no exterior outlets, what does that mean for lighting?

We’ll run a new dedicated circuit from your panel, which is common in older homes near the harbour that predate modern exterior wiring standards.

Do you install step lighting for homes with sloped yards near Rolling Acres?

Yes, step and path lighting for safety on sloped or uneven yards is a common request, and we plan fixture spacing to actually light the grade changes.

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.
