Built for Rapids City weather and tested for Illinois homes.
Hidden wiring as a standard
Cable buried to local code depth, trunk lines routed away from beds you'll dig in, and every junction tucked out of sight. That's the baseline in Rapids City.
Hub-style wiring connections
Pierce-point connectors are the #1 reason landscape lighting in 61278 fails by year three. We use waterproof hub connections on every run.
Permits and code, handled
Any line-voltage work in IL gets a permit and an inspection. We coordinate both — you don't have to call the city.
Brass and copper, always
We don't install plastic or painted aluminum fixtures in Rapids City. Brass develops a patina, copper darkens beautifully, and both outlast the warranty period by a wide margin.

Ask Us Anything · (213) 752-393501How deep do you bury the cable?+
Trunk lines around Rapids City get buried 6–8 inches under turf and beds, deeper through high-traffic areas. We follow IL code minimums and exceed them where it matters.
02Are permits required?+
Low-voltage landscape lighting in IL 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.
03Will trenching tear up my lawn?+
Minimally. We use a vibratory plow on most Rapids City lawns, which slits the turf and pulls cable through without sod removal. Re-sod is included on the few runs where we have to dig.
04What color temperature do you recommend?+
For most Rapids City homes we install 2700K — a warm white that flatters brick, stone, and landscaping. We'll demo 3000K side-by-side at the consultation if you want to compare.
