ProfessionalLandscape Path Lighting
Path lights guide guests safely from the driveway to the door and highlight your landscaping after dark. We install low-voltage LED path lights, connect them to a weatherproof transformer, and position each fixture so the coverage is even and the look is intentional — not just randomly poked into the ground.

How it works
Lay out the lighting plan
We stake the fixture locations, checking for even spacing and avoiding areas where the stakes would hit tree roots or irrigation lines.
Run cable and install fixtures
We dig a shallow trench or press the cable into the soil, connect each fixture's tap connector, and drive the stakes to a stable depth.
Connect the transformer and program the timer
We mount the transformer on an exterior outlet or post, set the dusk-to-dawn timer, and do a walk-through to confirm all fixtures glow evenly.
We can help
Problems we fix
- Voltage drop causing the last few fixtures on a long run to be noticeably dimmer
- Cable nicked by a later edging or aerating pass, cutting power to part of the run
- Too many fixtures on a single 12V wire run, overloading the cable gauge
- Cheap path lights with plastic spikes that break in hard clay or rocky soil

Landscape Path Lighting — FAQ
How far apart should path lights be spaced?
Typically 6–8 feet apart gives a welcoming glow without over-lighting the path. On curved walks, closer spacing (5–6 ft) looks better because it follows the line more smoothly.
Do I need a transformer for low-voltage path lights?
Yes — all 12V low-voltage landscape systems need a transformer that plugs into a standard outdoor outlet. We size the transformer to handle the total wattage of all fixtures with room to grow.
Can path lights be solar?
Solar path lights are easy to install anywhere, but performance varies in shaded yards or during cloudy stretches. We generally recommend hardwired low-voltage for consistent output; solar for spots where running cable is impractical.
