Two gardens with the same number of lights can need very different installation work. A useful garden lighting quote should explain the proposed result, the equipment and the work involved. These are the main factors to discuss before comparing prices.
The areas you want to light
A short entry path is a different project from a garden with multiple trees, steps and entertaining areas. Start by listing essential areas and optional features. This helps a designer recommend a sensible scope rather than simply adding more fittings.
Fitting selection
Materials, finish, light distribution and product range influence the proposal. Ask why a fitting has been selected for each location and what maintenance it may need. We can discuss options from Havit, Hunza, Aqualux, Azoogi, Just Bits and other brands, depending on the project and product availability.
Cable routes and access
Existing paving, mature planting and distances between lighting zones can affect installation work. An on-site assessment helps identify practical routes. Ask whether the quote includes any access work, making good or coordination with other trades that your project needs.
Existing equipment
An older system may contain components that can be retained, but compatibility and condition need assessment. Tell us what is already installed and any faults you have noticed. A repair or targeted upgrade may be worth discussing before deciding on a complete replacement.
Controls and future additions
Consider how the lights will be used and whether you plan to extend the system later. Ask what is included for controls and how future additions would be assessed. Planning ahead can help avoid a design that becomes awkward when the garden changes.
Compare the scope, not just the total
Check the fitting models, quantities, installation work, controls and any exclusions. Ask about product warranty terms and aftercare. A written proposal makes it easier to understand what each option offers.
We do not publish a universal installation price because the site and scope matter. Request a quote with your suburb, a few garden details and your priorities. For an existing fault, see our garden lighting repair service.
