A well-lit garden changes how you use your outdoor space—especially on darker evenings and winter mornings. We design and install outdoor lighting for Dartford homes, from practical path lighting to feature lighting that highlights planting and architecture. Whether you’re near Central Park or commuting via the Dartford Crossing, we’ll make access routes clearer and entrances more welcoming. We regularly work across DA1 and DA2, tailoring layouts to each garden’s shape and use.
Dartford’s mix of Victorian terraces, 1930s semis and newer developments means no two lighting plans are the same. Period properties often benefit from discreet uplighting to brickwork and planting, while 1930s gardens suit clean-lined path lighting and deck lights. New-build plots in areas such as Greenhithe can be transformed with layered lighting and smart controls for flexible scenes. We balance brightness, glare control and cabling routes so the finish looks intentional—never bolted on.
We start with a site visit, discuss how you use the garden, then propose a lighting plan with fixture positions and beam angles. Installation is typically completed in 1–2 days, with neat cable runs, proper weatherproof connections and careful reinstatement of surfaces. You’ll get clear guidance on controls, timers and smart scheduling, plus aftercare advice. Homeowners choose us for reliable workmanship, tidy working practices and a long-term approach to safety and durability.
Gardens in Dartford Borough often combine paved access, tight side returns and mixed boundary fencing, so cable routes and fitting positions need careful planning. We’re used to working where parking and access can be limited, especially around older terraces, and we schedule deliveries accordingly. For newer estates in Swanscombe and Wilmington, we account for shallow planting beds and modern drainage runs. Our approach keeps the installation tidy and compliant while delivering a clean night-time look.

Costs vary by fitting type, cabling distance, controls and how many areas you want to light. As a guide, outdoor lighting in the Dartford area is typically £100–£500 per light installed, depending on specification. Most complete garden lighting projects come in around £800–£3,000, covering design, fixtures, wiring, transformers and commissioning. We’ll confirm options after a site visit and agree a budget before work starts.
Most installations take 1–2 days, depending on the number of lights, the complexity of cable routes and whether we’re integrating smart controls. Simple path lighting along a short run can often be completed in a day, while multi-zone schemes with uplighting, deck lights and security lighting may take two. Timings can also be affected by surface types (paving, gravel, lawns) and access constraints around the property.
In many cases, garden and driveway lighting is permitted development and doesn’t need planning permission. However, restrictions can apply if your property is listed, in a conservation area, or if lighting could cause nuisance to neighbours or road users. We’ll advise on sensible placement, brightness and shielding, and we can help you check any relevant Dartford Borough requirements before installation so you can proceed with confidence.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship, covering installation-related issues such as cable joints, fixing points and weatherproofing when used as intended. Individual fittings and lamps may also include manufacturer warranties, which vary by brand and specification. We’ll explain what’s covered for your chosen products and provide care guidance to help maximise lifespan, including cleaning lenses and checking timers or smart settings seasonally.
We offer a wide range of options, including low-glare path lighting, uplighting for trees and brickwork, deck lights for steps and seating areas, and security lighting with PIR sensors. Finishes commonly include stainless steel, powder-coated aluminium and discreet black or anthracite fittings. We’ll help you choose beam angles, colour temperature (warm to neutral), and smart controls for scenes—ideal for entertaining, arrivals and night-time safety.
