Landscaping crew arrives today to access the work and begin excavation and grading. I decided to do some pre-work myself.

I got rid of some pathetic looking bushes that had little to no foliage. Broke a shovel in the process.




The line leading from the timer to the landscape lighting was buried about an inch or so down, but with all of the runoff, it became exposed. So I dug a 6" deep trench and ran an outdoor conduit underground that contains the low voltage wiring.



Probably overkill, but perhaps there will be some landscape lighting wiring judges checking it out for some contest....


Again, overkill, but I had time to spare at the hardware store, so let's make it look cool and professional-like, ya know? One of the termination points. The current low voltage circuit is visible nearby. That will be cut and spliced into the new juction.




The other termination point. I didn't bury this section yet because I'm not sure where lights will be relocated after the landscaping is completed.



I will paint the termination junction box "Hunter Green", so it won't be so noticeable.
