Q. When Should I Have My Lights Installed?
A. Last summer I met with a customer intent on learning the answer to this question. With new landscape going in, she was feeling pressured by her landscape company to make a decision about her lighting. They insisted that she needed to have all the wire ran in the trench with her irrigation lines before the sod went in. They reasoned that it would be more affordable for her to do do this now while the trenches were still open, and that they would have to charge her more to come back and install the lighting system later.
The truth is that you can have your lighting put in even after the rest of the landscape project is complete.
