Yes, tree roots can interfere with underground wiring and conduit for landscape lighting. If you notice lights flickering, malfunctioning, or an entire section going dark near tree bases or garden edging, it's a common sign. Our electric repair service includes a diagnostic inspection to locate the damaged line, often caused by root growth or shifting soil from damaged edging. We then safely repair or reroute the wiring, using root-resistant conduit where necessary and ensuring your system is protected against future natural growth and ground movement.

Proper installation is key to longevity. When we install your new light fixtures, we assess the site for stability, often recommending fixtures be mounted on secure, stationary structures like posts, walls, or solid paver bases rather than directly on vulnerable plastic or metal landscape ties. We use robust, waterproof connections and secure mounting hardware designed to withstand frost heaves and soil shifts common in our region. This proactive approach prevents fixtures from becoming loose or misaligned due to edging failure, ensuring your lighting remains straight, functional, and visually appealing for years.

Absolutely. Storms can wash away soil or shift landscape edging, exposing or severing low-voltage wiring. Water ingress from exposed lines is a frequent cause of shorts and failures. Our electric repair service includes a thorough inspection of the entire lighting run, from the transformer to the last light. We check for breaches in the line jacket, corrosion at connections, and damage to the edging that was supposed to protect the wire. Repairs are made with direct burial-grade wire and waterproof connectors, and we often re-secure the line under new, intact edging or in a deeper, safer trench to prevent recurrence.
