Garden Lighting in Dorset & The New Forest
Experts in Garden Lighting Design & Installation
Bamboo Landscapes designs and installs garden lighting for driveways, patios and decking across Dorset & The New Forest. We are a family-run business based in Poole, designing and building outdoor spaces across the region since 2010. Every project begins with a proper design consultation to establish the right fixtures, light levels and cable routes for the space.
Safe cable installation is included as standard on every job, because the safety and lifespan of any garden lighting system comes down to how the electrical work is planned and carried out. All installations come with a five-year workmanship guarantee, and fittings are supplied as part of the project so quality stays consistent from start to finish.
- Full design consultation and cable route planning included as standard
- Low-voltage and mains garden lighting systems available for driveways and patios
- Five-year workmanship guarantee on every installation
What’s included
Lighting Design
We plan fixture positions, light levels and cable routes before any work begins, so the finished system suits both the property and how the space gets used in the evening.
Safe Cable Installation
All cabling is routed and protected to current standards for outdoor electrical work. Getting this stage right is the single biggest factor in how safely and how long a garden lighting system performs.
Transformer & Control Setup
We size and install the transformer and control system to suit the layout, with capacity built in for any lighting added later on.
5 Year Guarantee
Every garden lighting installation comes with a five-year workmanship guarantee, covering the finished system against defects in installation.

Garden Lighting FAQ’S
Garden lighting cost depends on the number of fixtures, the type of system specified and the complexity of the cable routes required. A full survey is included as part of every quote, so the price reflects the actual work required rather than a generic estimate.
A standard garden lighting project typically takes one to three days, depending on the size of the garden and the number of fixtures involved. Larger schemes combined with other landscaping work may take longer. A clear programme is agreed before work starts.
For mains-voltage garden lighting, yes. All mains electrical work must be carried out by a qualified electrician and notified to building control. Low-voltage systems powered by an outdoor-rated transformer are more straightforward and can often be installed without notification.
Low-voltage systems run on 12V from a transformer, which makes them safer and simpler to install and adjust. Mains systems run on 230V and suit larger areas or brighter outputs. For most gardens, a low-voltage LED setup is the most practical and energy-efficient option.
Popular garden lighting ideas include uplighting for trees and architectural planting, recessed step lights for safety on paths and patios, and deck lights fitted along the edges of raised areas. A design consultation establishes which combination suits the layout and how the space gets used.
Outdoor LED lights use significantly less power than traditional halogen fittings and last considerably longer before needing replacement. They generate less heat, which makes them a safer option for close-set garden lighting, and they come in a range of colour temperatures to suit the finished look.
All exterior garden lights we install are rated for outdoor use and sealed against rain, frost and general weather exposure. Fittings are selected based on their position, exposure and expected use to keep the installation reliable year-round.
Yes. Garden wall lights work well along boundary walls, steps and pathways, giving even light coverage without the cable runs a ground-mounted system needs. Positioning and spacing are agreed during the design consultation to suit the layout of the space.
