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 Elkader.

Ask Us Anything · (213) 752-393501Are permits required?+
Low-voltage landscape lighting in IA 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.
02What's the difference between low-voltage and line-voltage?+
Low-voltage (12V) is what we install for landscape and accent lighting in Elkader — safer, more flexible, and easier to expand. Line-voltage (120V) is for permanent architectural work and we handle that with proper permits in IA.
03How long does installation take?+
A standard residential install in 52043 takes 1–2 days. Larger architectural projects with permanent holiday lighting can take 3–4 days. We schedule around your weather window.
04How quickly can you start?+
Most Elkader projects begin within 2–3 weeks of contract signing. Permanent holiday lighting in October/November books out further — we recommend getting on the calendar by September.
