Install Integrated Hardscape Lighting

What happens here

For areas like retaining walls (e.g., 0:06-0:07, 0:33-0:36) and patio steps (e.g., 0:17-0:29), install specialized integrated lighting. This often involves embedding small, low-profile LED fixtures directly into the masonry or wood structures, or installing LED light strips discreetly under step ledges. If building new hardscaping, integrate these lights during construction. For existing structures, it might require carefully cutting into the material or finding creative ways to tuck lights and hide wiring. Ensure proper drainage and sealing for durability and to protect electrical components from moisture. Connect appropriate outdoor-rated low-voltage wiring to each fixture, leaving enough slack for connections, and run the cables back to the planned transformer location.

Goal: Provide subtle, glare-free illumination for safety and aesthetics in hardscaping
