A clear, step-by-step process from on-site consultation through finished installation. Professional design, coordinated electrician work, and final calibration of every fixture and zone.
Infinity Landscaping's lighting process begins with an on-site consultation covering the property's architecture, plantings, and night-use patterns. We design a fixture-and-zone plan, present a detailed proposal, and install the system in coordination with a professional electrician. Every installation closes with a final calibration walk-through to set aim, beam direction, and controller schedules.
Landscape Lighting
What this page covers
On-site consultation
We begin with a property review to discuss your goals. We evaluate local lighting requirements, traffic patterns, and primary views from both inside and outside the home to design a system that works for how you actually use the property.
Lighting plan and proposal
We translate the consultation into a fixture-and-zone plan tailored to your architecture, plantings, and target effects - accent lighting on stonework, path and step lighting for safety, soft area lighting for outdoor rooms, and uplighting for trees and architectural features. The plan comes with a full fixture specification, controller selection, and a detailed proposal.
Coordinated installation
Our installation process is clean and efficient. We lay low-voltage cable along borders and beds with minimal disruption to your lawn, mount fixtures securely, and place the transformer in an out-of-the-way, dry location. Every project is coordinated with a professional electrician on site so that line-voltage feeds, junction work, and code-compliant terminations are handled by a licensed trade.
Final calibration and handoff
We complete every project with a two-part inspection. During the day, we verify that all cables are buried, transformers are mounted correctly, and fixtures are straight. At night, we walk the property to adjust beam directions, calibrate each zone, and program your controller schedules. You leave the handoff knowing exactly how the system works.
Landscape Lighting
Why the process matters
Landscape lighting is one of the few exterior systems where the placement and aim of every component is just as important as the hardware itself. Two systems with identical fixtures and identical wattage can produce dramatically different results depending on beam angles, fixture positioning, and zone grouping. A clear process - consultation, plan, install, calibrate - is what separates a thoughtful lighting design from a row of generic path lights.
The most common failure mode in residential landscape lighting is not equipment failure. It is fixture placement that was never deliberately designed: lights aimed at the wrong angle, beam spreads that wash out planting, zones that group fixtures with conflicting purposes. Our process is built specifically to prevent those outcomes before installation, not adjust them afterward.
Process
The steps in our process
01
Discovery call
We discuss your property, timeline, and primary objectives - pathway safety, patio entertaining, architectural accenting, or full-property lighting design.
02
On-site consultation
We walk your property, evaluate the layout, and review local lighting requirements that apply to your town.
03
Lighting plan and proposal
We design a fixture-and-zone layout, select fixtures and controller, and present a detailed plan and proposal for review.
04
Coordinated installation
We install the system in coordination with a professional electrician. Low-voltage cable, fixtures, transformer, and controller are all set during this phase with minimal lawn and bed disruption.
05
Final calibration and handoff
A final daytime and after-dark walk-through to set aim, calibrate zones, and program your controller schedules. We hand off complete documentation of your system.

Frequently asked questions
We walk the property with you, identify the architectural features, plantings, and zones you most want to highlight or illuminate for safety, and review any local lighting requirements that apply to your town. The consultation is the foundation of the lighting plan - every later decision keys off what we learn during this visit.
No. Low-voltage landscape cables do not require deep trenching like line-voltage electrical work. We use flat-spade tools to slide the wire under the sod, or route it along the edges of garden beds and hardscaping. Your lawn will show minimal signs of work and recovers within a few days.
Yes. One of the key benefits of low-voltage landscape lighting is its flexibility. If you add new plants, prune mature trees, or extend a patio in the future, we can splice in new cable runs, relocate existing fixtures, or adjust beam spreads.
We do. During the final calibration walk-through, we configure your astronomical schedules (so the system tracks sunset on the Island), program any custom scenes, and help you download and set up the control app on your phone or tablet.
