What happens here
Install a comprehensive low-voltage landscape lighting system throughout the newly constructed outdoor areas. This involves digging shallow trenches for wiring, positioning pathway lights along the walkway and steps, installing uplights to illuminate trees and architectural features, and integrating wall lights directly into the patio's retaining walls and steps. Connect all lights to a low-voltage transformer, ensuring correct wiring and proper placement to achieve the desired nighttime ambiance, safety, and accentuation of the landscape features.
Goal: Enhance nighttime usability, safety, and aesthetic appeal of the outdoor space.
