Placement and beam control that improves safety and curb appeal without glare.
Build
Consistent brightness
Transformer sizing + taps and wiring plans that prevent dim-at-the-end results.
Serviceability
Easy to maintain
Clean routing, sealed splices, and documented runs so future work stays efficient.
What a good install includes
Layout that matches the property: path and step safety, soft accent uplighting, and controlled glare.
Power plan: transformer sizing and multi-tap selection that keeps fixtures bright and consistent.
Wiring discipline: correct wire gauge, balanced runs, and documented routing for future service.
Waterproof connections: buried splices rebuilt with moisture protection to prevent corrosion failures.
How we design and install
Walkthrough + goals: where you want safety, curb appeal, and evening usability.
Fixture plan: choose placement, beam spread, and finish based on surfaces and landscaping.
Power + wiring plan: transformer location, run mapping, and voltage drop prevention.
Install + test: trenchless where possible, clean cable routing, and voltage verification under load.
Night aiming: final aiming and glare control after dark so it looks right in real conditions.
Our standard approach: contractor-grade fixtures built for long-term serviceability (we often build with Alliance Outdoor Lighting) and energy-efficient, long-lasting LED lamps/modules when upgrades are needed (Brilliance is a common fit for retrofit work).

Premium brass install packages (hub-and-spoke)
For clients who want a premium, long-life system with stable brightness, we build with solid brass fixtures and a hub-and-spoke wiring method. This is a professional-grade approach designed for longevity, clean voltage control, and serviceability.
Pricing last updated: • Service-scoped / quote after inspection.
Rule of thumb: premium brass + hub-and-spoke systems typically land around $275–$375 per fixture installed, depending on layout complexity, wire lengths, and aiming requirements.
If you're planning a new system (or a redesign after landscape changes), book service and we'll scope it correctly: layout, transformer sizing, wire runs, and clean install details.
