A well-planned lighting scheme transforms how you use your outdoor space after dark, whether you’re walking to the patio or highlighting a favourite tree. We install garden lighting across Kingston upon Thames, from riverside homes near Kingston Bridge to family gardens around Surbiton. Expect clean cable runs, discreet fittings, and lighting levels that feel warm rather than harsh. We can combine path lighting, wall lights and spotlights to create a balanced look.
Local properties vary widely, from Victorian villas and Edwardian houses to modern waterfront apartments, and each needs a different approach. Period homes often suit subtle wall lights and uplighting that respects original brickwork, while newer builds benefit from crisp deck lights and smart-controlled zones. If you’re in KT1 or KT2, we’ll design around existing planting, steps and terraces to avoid glare and dark patches. The result is lighting that looks intentional in winter and summer alike.
We start with a site visit, discuss how you use the garden, then produce a clear layout showing fittings, beam angles and control options. Installations are completed neatly with safety-first electrics, weatherproof connections and tidy reinstatement of borders and paving. You’ll receive straightforward guidance on timers, sensors and smart controls, plus maintenance advice for long-term performance. Homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, transparent options and a finish that matches premium landscaping.
Kingston’s mix of period streets and modern developments means access and cabling routes can vary significantly. We plan around tight side passages, shared drives and on-street parking, and we keep external wiring discreet on older brickwork. For riverside plots, we specify robust, weather-resistant fittings and careful placement to reduce reflections. We also consider neighbour sightlines and light spill, especially near terraces and balconies.

Costs depend on the number of fittings, cabling distance and control options. As a guide, a small setup (6–10 lights with a basic transformer and timer) is often £1,200–£2,500. Medium schemes with path lighting plus uplighting typically fall around £2,500–£5,000. Larger gardens with deck lights, wall lights and smart controls can be £5,000–£10,000+. We’ll provide a detailed breakdown after a site visit.
Most installations take 1–3 days once the design is agreed. A simple path lighting run can be completed in a day, while mixed schemes (uplighting, deck lights, wall lights and multiple zones) usually take 2–3 days. Timescales depend on cable routes, hard landscaping to lift and reinstate, and whether we’re integrating lighting into new planting or paving works. We’ll confirm a schedule before starting.
In most cases, garden lighting is permitted development and doesn’t require planning permission, especially for low-level fittings and standard wall lights. However, extra care may be needed for listed buildings, conservation areas, or if you’re adding lighting to a boundary wall facing the highway. We’ll flag any potential issues, advise on appropriate positioning and brightness, and help you stay compliant with local rules and neighbour considerations.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for garden lighting installations, covering issues such as cable routing, connections and fitting placement. Product warranties vary by manufacturer and fitting type, and we’ll confirm these in writing before installation. We also test the system thoroughly on completion and show you how to operate timers, sensors or smart controls. If anything needs adjustment, we’ll arrange a prompt follow-up.
We offer a wide range of styles and finishes, including discreet stainless-steel or anthracite path lights, warm uplights for trees and architectural features, and compact deck lights for steps and seating areas. Festoon lighting is popular for entertaining, while wall lights can complement period brickwork or modern render. You can choose solar options for specific zones and add smart controls for scenes and schedules. We’ll recommend beam angles and colour temperatures to suit your garden.
