Frequently Asked Questions
The answer is after. The placement of lighting fixtures and resulting effects depend upon landscape elements and plantings being in place.
We typically install cable at a depth of 3″ to 6″, although this may vary based upon digging conditions. In very rocky ground, the cable will be installed closer to the surface in order to avoid turning up rocks everywhere – which can really create a mess! In fabric-covered planting beds, the cable will be installed just under the fabric, or sometimes (in deeper mulch) stapled to the top of the fabric.
The advantages of low voltage are: 1) Ease of installation: less disruptive to existing landscapes. 2) Safety: you cannot get shocked by low voltage lighting, whereas line voltage can be dangerous if connections get old or frayed. 3) Energy efficiency: low voltage lamps provide more lumens of light per watt used. We illuminate walkways with just a 10- or 20-watt lamp and large trees with 35, 50, or 75-watt lamps. 4) Flexibility: low voltage systems can be moved or changed much more easily than line voltage systems.
Transformers can be hung onto any exterior wall. All that is needed is a standard (GFI) outlet box. We usually look for a location in a garage or an unfinished basement area. This makes the transformer less visible yet easily accessible for time adjustments.
The typical solution is to put a timer into the transformer box. We can also add a photocell to automate the system. However, we believe astronomical timers are the most effective control for today’s landscape lighting systems. They have many advantages over conventional timers, including fully digital operation, automatic adjustment (no need for a photocell), battery backup, and a limited lifetime warranty
Systems and installation usually begin around $1,000 to $1,500, and vary based on the size and scope of the project. Many of our installations are in a range from $1,000 to approximately $10,000. We have also completed larger, more complex lighting projects at several of southeast Wisconsin’s most spectacular residences. Feel free to give us a budget that works for you, and we will design a solution that fits.
