Just wrapped up another landscape lighting project for 2022. With a stone customer from 2012 check out their stone wall http://www.rockinwalls.com/2012/08/beechdale-road-roland-park-md-finished.html

These little steps are something others don't take the time to do. Why I don't know. The less need for call backs due to property maintenance damage is key! I'd rather save my clients money from trouble shooting damaged wires because shovel damage. PVC pipe is cheap and doesn't take that much longer to drop it into the ground.
This project includes many up lights, water lights, decorative path lights and 2 towers (1) 42" and the other 26". Which both give off beautiful shadows in the space. All bronze fixtures with a lifetime warranty (labor not included) I buy direct so I can pass on the savings to my customers.
I believe in building all my systems with the ability to be expanded if needed with above ground hubs. This makes expansion easy. While many companies offer landscape lighting not all hold a BFA in Visual Communications in Graphic Design from MICA Maryland Institute College of Art. Lighting may have basic rules that are followed. But lighting is still not a One and Done! A small change in a light bulb watt can change everything. With my training I can see what others might not.
I also enjoy lighting spaces using a "NATURAL" approach: ~ Asymmetry ~ Few Shadow Effects ~ Softer Light ~ Architecture not emphasized.
VS "THEATRICAL" ~ Symmetry ~ Shadow Effects ~ Crisp Light ~ Architecture Emphasized.
Water feature lights installed in ponds
1/2" PVC conduit piping for sleeving 12 gauge wire to minimize long term damage
Old lights got new LED bulbs saving on power. No need to replace the old with new if they work!
This 26" light is designed to be staked into the ground the client wanted to have it placed on a house sill shelf. So I made a platform 4' x 16" with 3/4" PVC board cut down and routed all the corners and even a cord/cable slot out the back.
I also added a safety wire on the top back of the light to avoid it from falling off incase of high winds. Just and step to avoid damage.
I sleeved all the wires going up to the light with 1/2" copper pipe. All connectors and pipe not glued so it can easily be taken apart if needed. Then used copper wire to attach it to the hand railing.
