Richmond gardens deserve lighting that complements their character and the riverside setting. We design schemes that guide you safely along paths, highlight specimen trees and create a warm glow for entertaining. Whether you’re close to Richmond Green or walking distance from Richmond Bridge, we’ll tailor the ambience to your outdoor space. Expect neat cabling, carefully positioned fittings and a finish that looks considered by day and night.
Homeowners across TW9 and TW10 often have Georgian townhouses, Victorian villas and elegant riverside properties with mature planting. These gardens benefit from layered lighting: low-level path lighting for steps, uplighting for trees and wall lights to soften brickwork and boundaries. In Kew, Twickenham, Ham and Petersham we regularly work with long plots, side returns and terraces where glare control matters. We specify fittings that suit period architecture while keeping the look refined.
We start with a site visit and evening-lighting plan, then provide a clear proposal with fixture locations and control options. Installations are carried out by qualified professionals, with tidy trenching and discreet routing to protect lawns and borders. You’ll have practical guidance on scenes, timers and smart controls, plus a full handover and testing. Local homeowners choose us for dependable scheduling, clean workmanship and aftercare that’s easy to book.
Richmond access can be tight, with controlled parking and narrow side passages near older terraces, so we plan deliveries and installation times carefully. In the garden lighting Richmond area, we often work around mature roots and established planting, choosing cable routes that minimise disturbance. We also factor in local considerations in the garden lighting in London Borough of Richmond upon Thames, such as sensitive boundary lighting and neighbour-friendly aiming. The result is a scheme that looks premium without causing nuisance.

Costs vary with the number of fittings, cable runs and control options. As a guide, a small setup (6–10 lights with a basic transformer and timer) often starts around £1,200–£2,500. Medium schemes for larger gardens are commonly £2,500–£5,500. Full designs with smart controls, multiple zones and premium fittings can be £6,000–£12,000+. We’ll survey your garden and recommend the best value layout.
Most installations take 1–3 days depending on garden size, access and the amount of trenching required. A straightforward path lighting upgrade can sometimes be completed in a day, while larger schemes with uplighting, wall lights and smart zoning may take several days. Timescales are affected by hard surfaces, existing electrics, and whether we’re integrating lighting into decking or new landscaping. We’ll confirm a schedule before work begins.
In most cases, garden lighting is permitted development and doesn’t need planning permission, especially for low-voltage systems within your boundary. However, restrictions can apply to listed buildings, conservation areas, or where lighting affects neighbours or wildlife. We’ll advise on sensible light levels, aiming and cut-off to reduce spill. If any permissions or landlord/freeholder approvals are needed, we’ll flag this early and help you navigate the requirements.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for garden lighting installations, covering issues such as cable routing, connections and installation-related faults. Individual fittings and transformers also come with manufacturer warranties, which vary by product range. We test the system on completion and show you how to operate timers or smart controls. If a problem occurs, we’ll diagnose it quickly and advise whether it’s covered by workmanship or product warranty.
We offer a wide range of finishes and styles, from discreet stainless-steel or anthracite path lights to warm brass fixtures that suit period properties. Popular choices include uplighting for trees, deck lights for steps, festoon lighting for entertaining areas, and wall lights to soften façades. You can choose solar options for selected zones and add smart controls for scenes and scheduling. We’ll propose a layered design that balances safety, ambience and energy use.
