KG Electrical Contractors design and install attractive, energy-efficient garden lighting for patios, driveways, gardens and outdoor spaces across Hertfordshire, including St Albans, Watford, Stevenage, Hemel Hempstead and surrounding areas.
At KG Electrical Contractors, we work with homeowners across Hertfordshire, including St Albans, Watford, Stevenage and Hemel Hempstead, who want to make more of their outdoor spaces after dark. As NICEIC approved and TrustMark registered electricians, we design and install tailored garden lighting for patios, pathways, driveways and landscaped areas, shaping each installation around the way you use your garden during the evening.
We start by assessing your garden’s layout, access points and key features, then create a practical lighting design suited to the space. Using high-quality outdoor rated fittings, compliant wiring and energy efficient LED lighting, we deliver safe, reliable installations that enhance your property and provide lasting performance year after year.
Our lighting enhances visibility, brings out key garden features and allows you to enjoy your outdoor space after dark, from smaller urban gardens to larger landscaped 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 aim is to make your outdoor space easier and more enjoyable to use once daylight fades, without unnecessary complication.
We begin by understanding your garden, layout and how you want to use the space after dark. We consider movement, key features and areas that need practical lighting, creating a design that feels balanced, subtle and suited to your outdoor space.
We install garden lighting using durable outdoor rated fittings and compliant wiring methods that meet UK electrical standards. Our team works carefully around your property, delivering a neat, reliable installation that blends naturally with your garden.
As your garden develops, your lighting requirements may change over time. We can maintain, adjust or extend your lighting system to keep it working effectively as plants grow and outdoor spaces are updated.
Our garden lighting projects have gained recognition for quality and attention to detail. This experience shapes every installation we complete, with a focus on thoughtful design, reliable performance and lasting results.
Every lighting installation combines creative planning with strong electrical knowledge. We ensure your system is safe, efficient and built to perform reliably outdoors, providing consistent results long after completion.

Our Process
01
We start with a friendly consultation to understand your garden, your goals, and how you use the space. Then we assess the site and put together a lighting concept that fits both the layout and the mood you want to create.
02
Once the design is agreed, we’ll send a clear, itemised quote with no hidden extras. From there, we plan the install and schedule a time that works for you — often coordinating with landscapers or designers if needed.
03
We install everything with minimal disruption. Tidy cabling, weatherproof fittings, and a perfect finish. Once it’s all up and running, we’ll walk you through the system and offer ongoing support if needed.
The cost of garden lighting depends on factors such as the size of your garden, number of lights required, type of fittings, cable runs and the complexity of the installation. After assessing your outdoor space, we provide clear recommendations and a detailed quotation based on your requirements.
In most residential properties, garden lighting does not usually require planning permission. However, additional considerations may apply for listed buildings, conservation areas or properties with specific restrictions. We can help advise on the most suitable approach for your installation.
The installation time depends on the size of your garden and the complexity of the lighting design. Smaller projects may be completed quickly, while larger gardens with multiple lighting zones, power supplies or extensive cabling may require more time. We provide a clear plan before work begins.
