Your plan covers the finished property, even if you build it over three seasons. Capacity, sleeves and home runs are set from the start, so a later phase is a connection rather than an excavation.
Tyler holds an Inlite outdoor lighting certificate alongside his CMHA and Belgard credentials. Load calculations, voltage drop and zone layout are engineered, not estimated.
Front entry, patio, back lawn and feature lighting run as separate zones. Light the entry every night without running the whole yard, or turn everything on when you have company.
A good plan works at three heights: path level for footing, mid level for walls and beds, high level for trees and facades. Layering is what gives a yard depth instead of a flat glow.
Tyler is on every project. The person drawing the lighting plan is the same person designing the patios, walls and beds it belongs to, so the two are never at odds.
Our warranty covers the installation: sleeves, buried runs, connections, transformer mounting and fixture setting. Fixtures carry their own manufacturer warranty, and we tell you which covers what before you spend a dollar.
We start from where you stand and what you see. From the street, from the kitchen window, from the patio at night. Each of those views gets its own composition, and the zones are drawn so you can run one part of the property without running all of it.
The backbone is what separates a plan you can extend from one you have to replace. Transformer sized for the finished system with headroom, home runs pulled to a central point, and sleeves under every paved surface the wire will ever need to cross.
You call or send a form with your project scope and location. Tyler or a team member responds within one business day with questions and preliminary guidance. If it sounds like a fit, we book a site visit.
Tyler walks the property with you, ideally once in daylight and once after dark. Sightlines, entry routes, grade changes, trees, walls and snow clearing routes all feed the plan. Zones, fixture types and transformer location are decided on site, with samples available.
A detailed line-item proposal covers labour, fixtures, transformer, wire and sleeves, with a layout plan and zone map included. Phased projects get the full design plus this year's scope priced separately. Once approved, we lock in a start date.
Sleeves go in while the hardscape base is open. Home runs are pulled and buried at depth, connections sealed, and the transformer mounted with capacity left for the phases still to come. Fixtures are set in their planned positions.
We return after dark and aim every fixture, balance the zones against each other, and check for glare from the street and neighbouring properties. Timers are set, the system is walked with you, and you get a marked plan showing where everything sits.
