Two smaller services that finish a yard: low-voltage lights along paths and beds, and artificial turf where real grass won’t grow.
Low-voltage LED lights along the front walk, in the beds, up into a tree or across the front of the house. They make the yard safer to walk at night and show off the work in the beds.
Low-voltage lights run from a transformer that plugs into an outdoor outlet, so most jobs don’t need an electrician. If a new outlet or any line-voltage wiring is needed, we bring in an electrician for that part.
Lighting is easiest to add when beds or pavers are going in, so wires can be buried before everything is finished.
Turf fits the spots where grass keeps failing: deep shade under trees, a dog run, a strip between the fence and the house, or a small backyard that sees heavy use.
Like sod and pavers, it lasts only as long as the ground under it. The area is cleared, graded so water runs off, and given a compacted base before the turf goes down.
For most open, sunny yards around Mobile, real sod still costs less and stays cooler in summer. We’ll tell you which makes sense.
Big or small, these happen every time.
Not for low-voltage lighting, which plugs into a transformer at an outdoor outlet. If you need a new outlet or any line-voltage work, we bring in an electrician for that part.
Cheap fixtures that corrode, wires buried too shallow and cut by edgers, and too few lights for the transformer’s load. Burying wires before beds and pavers go in avoids most of it.
Turf gets hot in full sun and can smell if pet areas don’t drain. That’s why we suggest it mainly for shady or small areas, and build the base so water drains through.
Not at this time. We can build the paver patio and seating walls around one.
