We design and install low voltage garden lighting for paths, planting, trees, steps, decking and outdoor features, creating practical and beautifully considered lighting schemes across St Albans and Hertfordshire.
We design and install solar garden lighting across St Albans, Harpenden and Hertfordshire, providing a practical way to illuminate paths, planting, trees, patios, driveways and other outdoor features without extending a mains-powered circuit.
We help you choose suitable solar outdoor lighting based on sunlight levels, positioning, intended use and the amount of illumination needed. From solar path lights and uplighters to decorative garden lighting, we position each fitting to make the most of the available daylight.
If solar isn’t likely to provide the consistency or brightness you need, we can also advise on a wired LED garden lighting system for more dependable year-round illumination.
The position and specification of solar lighting can make a significant difference to how well it performs.
We help you select outdoor solar lighting suited to the location, weather exposure and intended use.
We recommend keeping solar panels free from leaves, dirt and debris to help maintain charging performance.
We consider changing daylight levels throughout the year and can advise when a wired garden lighting system may be more suitable for reliable winter performance.
We do not recommend wired or solar lighting simply because it is the service we provide. We consider your garden and intended use before recommending the most appropriate approach.
| Solar Garden Lighting Type | Suitability | Best Use |
|---|---|---|
| Solar Path & Spike Lights | Garden paths, borders and planting where there is good sunlight. | |
| Solar PIR Security Floodlights | Garages, sheds and outbuildings where connecting mains power is difficult. | |
| Solar Wall Lights | Garden walls, entrances and outbuildings with good panel exposure. | |
| Solar Bollard Lights | Pathways, garden borders and driveway edges where low-level lighting is needed. | |
| Solar Deck & Step Lights | Decking and steps where the solar panel can receive sufficient daylight. | |
| Solar Fairy & String Lights | Trees, hedges, patios, pergolas and outdoor entertaining areas. |
We installed discreet lighting and power across three designer gardens at RHS Wisley. Using 32 lights and six power supplies to highlight rare plants and create a calming, immersive evening experience.
During a £14 million spa refurbishment, we worked with leading designers to install lighting for a tranquil courtyard garden — a scheme that brings calm, elegance, and atmosphere as day turns to night.
Working alongside lighting and garden designers, we delivered a bespoke scheme for this six acre estate in Chesham covering ancient trees, meadows, fountains, and formal gardens.
Our Process
01
We look at your outdoor space, available daylight and the areas you want to illuminate before deciding where solar lighting will work best.
02
We select suitable solar garden lights and positions for your space. If solar isn’t practical, we’ll explain why and suggest a wired alternative.
03
We install the agreed lighting around your garden features and landscaping, then check everything is working as intended before we leave.
The cost depends on the number and type of lights, the size of the area and whether you need installation or advice on a wider garden lighting scheme. We assess your requirements and provide a clear, no-obligation estimate based on the work involved.
We can discuss installation of customer-supplied products, depending on the type of fitting and the work required. We recommend checking the product specification with us beforehand so we can confirm that it is suitable for the intended location and installation.
Yes. We can advise on suitable lighting based on where you want the lights positioned, how much daylight the area receives and what you want the lighting to achieve. We can also explain when a wired lighting solution may be more appropriate.
Solar lighting can provide useful low-level illumination, but brightness varies considerably between products. If you need consistent illumination for a frequently used driveway, entrance or pathway, we may recommend a wired LED system instead.
Yes. We can look at your existing garden lighting and advise whether replacing individual fittings, changing the layout or moving to a wired system would be the better option.
Yes. We can look at the garden as a whole and recommend a combination of solar and wired lighting where appropriate. This allows us to use each type of lighting where it makes the most practical sense.
