Extend your garden enjoyment into the evening with beautiful lighting. LED systems, smart controls, Part P certified installation. Serving Edinburgh, Stirling, Falkirk, and Central Scotland.
Maybury Landscaping provides professional garden lighting across Scotland with LED systems, smart controls, and Part P certified installation. We design lighting for safety, atmosphere, and year-round enjoyment. Serving Edinburgh, Stirling, Falkirk, and all Central Scotland.
Scotland's long summer evenings and cozy winter nights both benefit from thoughtful garden lighting. In summer, lighting extends outdoor entertaining until midnight. In winter, a well-lit garden remains beautiful and welcoming even when you can't sit outside. Good lighting also improves safety on steps and paths, and deters intruders.
At Maybury Landscaping, we design lighting that complements your garden's features—highlighting beautiful natural stone, illuminating pergolas for evening use, and creating atmosphere around water features. All installations are Part P certified with quality IP-rated fixtures designed for Scottish weather.
Transform your garden after dark. Soft uplighting, pathway illumination, and feature highlighting create magical evening spaces for entertaining or relaxation.

Garden lighting in Scotland typically costs £1,500-£8,000+ for complete installations. Basic path lighting (6-8 lights) costs £1,500-£3,000. Feature lighting for trees, walls, and focal points runs £3,000-£5,000. Comprehensive schemes with multiple zones, automation, and premium fixtures exceed £5,000-£8,000+. Prices include IP-rated fixtures, armored cabling, transformer/driver systems, and Part P certified installation.
Yes, permanent garden lighting installations require Part P certified electrical work. Low-voltage (12V/24V) systems are safer but still need proper transformer installation and weatherproof connections. All our garden lighting is installed by qualified electricians with test certificates provided. We coordinate complete installations—you don't need to arrange separate trades.
We recommend low-voltage systems (12V or 24V) for garden lighting. They're safer (no shock risk if cables are accidentally cut), easier to install, and most quality fixtures are designed for these voltages. Mains voltage (240V) is needed for some applications (powerful floodlights, large installations) but requires armored cable and RCD protection. We specify the appropriate voltage for each installation.
All our fixtures are IP65 rated minimum (fully dust-tight, protected against water jets)—essential for Scottish weather. Premium installations use IP67 or IP68 fixtures (submersible grade). We also consider salt exposure for coastal gardens (South Queensferry, North Berwick) with marine-grade finishes. Proper fixtures last 15-20+ years in Scottish conditions.
Yes, modern garden lighting systems offer sophisticated control options: smartphone apps for on/off and dimming, timer programs for automatic operation, dusk sensors that adjust to seasons, motion detection for security, and smart home integration (Alexa, Google Home). We design systems with the control level you want—from simple switches to full automation.
