The problem
A beautiful garden that disappeared at 4:30 every December. The owners could not see the steps to the front door.
Decisions on the plan
- Wire pulled under mulch and bored under the paths, no trenching
- Step lights first for safety, then uplights on the three best trees
- Aim set at night on a second visit
- Three zones on an astronomical timer
What they use now
The garden is visible from the living room all winter, and the steps are lit every evening without anyone remembering to do it.
“We used to close the blinds at dusk. Now we leave them open.”
