What happens here

After drilling, prepare the wiring channels for the low-voltage cables. If the patio is already laid, you may need to carefully lift surrounding pavers to create shallow trenches (approximately 2-3 inches deep) in the sub-base. If you are installing lights in a new patio during construction, lay the wiring before the final layers of sand and pavers. Route the low-voltage wire through these channels, ensuring it reaches each drilled hole and extends to the location of your landscape lighting transformer.

Goal: Create pathways and lay low-voltage wiring for the LED lights

Tools and materials

  • Low-Voltage Landscape Wire — Connecting the LED lights to the transformer
  • Shovel — Digging shallow trenches for wiring
