Smart-home integrated by default
Every system we install in CA runs on app control, voice control, and dawn/dusk scheduling with no extra hardware.
Right-sized transformers
We size every transformer for 70% load. That leaves headroom for voltage drop, future expansion, and the LED inrush current most installers ignore.
Permits and code, handled
Any line-voltage work in CA gets a permit and an inspection. We coordinate both — you don't have to call the city.
Free quotes, competitive pricing
Every Santa Cruz project starts with a free on-site quote and itemized, competitive pricing in writing. No high-pressure sales, no surprise add-ons.

Ask Us Anything · (213) 752-393501How deep do you bury the cable?+
Trunk lines around Santa Cruz get buried 6–8 inches under turf and beds, deeper through high-traffic areas. We follow CA code minimums and exceed them where it matters.
02What's the difference between low-voltage and line-voltage?+
Low-voltage (12V) is what we install for landscape and accent lighting in Santa Cruz — safer, more flexible, and easier to expand. Line-voltage (120V) is for permanent architectural work and we handle that with proper permits in CA.
03Are permits required?+
Low-voltage landscape lighting in CA generally does not require a permit. Line-voltage exterior circuits and any new sub-panel work do — we pull those when needed and coordinate with the inspector.
04Can you work with my existing landscape lighting?+
Often, yes. We repair and expand existing low-voltage systems in Santa Cruz as long as the transformer and trunk wiring are sized correctly. We'll evaluate it for free.
