We are finished with the landscaping, some irrigation systems and gardening still needs to get done, but all the concrete has been poured, all the walls are up, as well as a bunch of random posts.
As for the exterior lighting, we have gone with a lot of small garden lights from homedepot, and Kichler. The Kichler ones of course being more expensive. Kichler is one that we bought the 300W transformer from through a local irrigation and landscaping store.
Before I go anyfurther her is a photo of what the landscape was going to look like,,,, it is very similar to what turned out. Just replace the new extension in the back yard with grass.
Many many years ago, we ran teck wire from the panel to behind the hot tub as well as a couple other locations. It wasn't necessary for us to use tech wire, we could of simply run lumex wire shielded within a pvc pipe. But what is done is done. Since we have fed wire to behind the hot tub, I have installed a receptacle and switch ( for a post light) to power some garden lights in that area that can be switched on from inside. This is separate from the rest of the lighting that is being fed from the main 300 W transformer in the front which will be on a timer.
Wow, this is amazing!
