The cheapest upgrade with the biggest evening payoff

Lighting is the last thing most people think about and the first thing they notice once it is in. A dark patio is used until sunset; a lit one is used all evening.

We run low-voltage cable during the hardscape build, so the wiring is buried under the patio rather than stapled along a fence afterwards. Fixtures are aimed, not just installed.

Path Lighting

Low glare path lights that show the walkway without dazzling anyone using it.

Step & Wall Lights

Recessed lights in steps, seat walls and retaining walls — the safety-critical ones.

Uplighting

Trees, columns and architectural features lit from below for depth after dark.

Deck & Rail Lighting

Post-cap and under-rail lighting integrated during the deck build.

Transformers & Controls

Correctly sized transformers, timers, photocells and app control where you want it.

Cable Run in the Build

Sleeving and cable installed before paving, so nothing has to be dug up later.

Frequently asked questions

Why low voltage rather than mains?

Low-voltage systems are safer, easier to extend and adjust, and in most cases do not require the same electrical permitting as mains-voltage exterior circuits.

Can lighting be added to an existing patio?

Yes, though cable routing is more disruptive after paving. If you are even considering it later, let us sleeve for it now — it costs very little during the build.

How much lighting do I actually need?

Less than most people expect. Over-lighting looks like a car park. We aim for pools of light at the points that matter and darkness in between.

Are the fixtures durable outdoors?

We use brass and composite fixtures rated for wet locations. Cheap fixtures fail within a couple of SC summers, so it is not the place to economise.
