We installed some landscape lighting in the garden and have ongoing problems with the wires?

We installed some landscape lighting in the garden and have ongoing problems with the wires being cut by bed edging and digging activities. What can we do?

  1. run wires through pvc pipe and bury
  2. When you install garden lighting we recommend 4 things: 1. Bury the wires at least 12-inches deep (check local building codes for requirements) 2. Put the wires in plastic conduit to protect them from sharp digging tools 3. Draw a diagram of where wires are located and file it away for future reference 4. Show contractors working on your property where these wires are located
