Description

Southern Landscape Lighting Systems of Marietta, GA, designs, installs, and services residential and commercial LED landscape lighting systems in the Metro Atlanta area. One component of the installation process is connecting the fixtures to the power source with special wiring. This wiring is manufactured with a thick, durable, waterproof coating to protect against the elements and minor skirmishes with falling limbs, light shovel impacts, and infrequent traffic from light equipment and service vehicles. Some municipal building codes and manufacturers’ recommendations stipulate the cable be buried at least six inches under the soil or mulch to further protect the wiring from damage. Once in the ground and adequately buried, the wiring is impossible to locate without assistance. When moving into a home with an existing landscape lighting system, it is important to prioritize the task of accurately finding and marking the wiring layout throughout the yard, including mulch beds and planting beds. Alternatively, if the homeowner was present when the system was installed, the network of wires is easily forgotten. The typical trench for landscape lighting wiring is very narrow and almost invisible once filled in or covered by grass, mulch, pine straw, or leaves.
