Landscape lighting lets you use your yard after dark. We install low-voltage landscape lighting for paths, patios, beds, walls and trees. Path lights mark the way to your front door. Uplights pick out a palm or an oak, and wall lights glow under the cap of a garden wall.
GBS Sod and Landscape is based in Ormond Beach and works across Volusia and Flagler counties. We can add lights to a new paver patio or walkway as part of the same job. Call or text (386) 238-9215. We look at the yard and put your free quote in writing.

Landscape lighting installation starts with a transformer near the house. Typical home wiring runs at 120 volts, and the transformer steps it down to 12. A university extension guide notes that most home landscape fixtures run on 12 volts.
From the transformer, low-voltage cable runs out to each light. Sunshine 811 asks for a call at least two full business days before any digging. We bury the cable through the beds and along the edges of the lawn. Each fixture gets set and aimed, and a timer sets when the lights come on and go off.
The transformer plugs into an outdoor outlet. If there is no outlet near the right spot, a new one is house wiring. That work belongs to a licensed electrician, and permit questions for it go to your city or county building office.
Each fixture's housing keeps weather off the bulb and shapes the beam. Path lights shine down and cover a small area, so they mark a walkway or the edge of a patio. Step lights mount on the riser of each step and light the tread.
Uplights stand at the base of a palm or a shade tree and aim up into it. A downlight set high in a tree casts a soft, moonlike glow on the patio or lawn beneath it. Wall lights tuck under the cap of a retaining wall or seat wall to light the area below.
Well lights go in level with the ground, so a mower can roll right over them. In rock and mulch beds, one light set beside a standout plant shows it off at night. On a new paver job, we plan the cable path before the pavers go down.
County code limits lighting near Volusia County beaches from May 1 through October 31, the sea turtle nesting season. The rules reach from the ocean to the first public road along the beach. They also cover the lots across that road.
On those lots, no bulb or shiny fixture surface may be visible to someone standing on the beach. Lights also may not light up any part of the beach. Decorative yard lights must be shielded from view of the beach or turned off for the season.
Those lots sit along the ocean on the beachside of Ormond Beach and in Ormond-by-the-Sea. There, we plan low fixtures with shields and aim the beams away from the ocean. Florida's wildlife agency calls turning off lights you do not need the simplest fix. Questions about a specific fixture go to the county's Sea Turtle Lighting Specialist.

My experience was excellent. Cesar was punctual and did an outstanding job installing a stone retaining wall in the front of my house. He completed the job in a very professional manner. He takes pride in his work and the finished product is beautiful. I would recommend Cesar and GBS Sod and Landscape to anyone who needs a retaining wall installed.
Caesar and Hugo did an awesome job in getting my front and backyard looking beautiful. They stripped my backyard and my front yard, put in new irrigation, border paving, weed block, seashell, along with new sod. My beach house now looks like something that belongs in a magazine. I can’t thank them enough for what they have done for me. GBS sod landscaping was fair priced, worked on time, and completed my job in a very quick time. I highly recommend GBS Sod and Landscaping for all your yard needs.
