Project Overview: In-Ground Landscape Lighting in Wake Forest, NC
Our Raleigh team completed a clean, code-conscious in-ground landscape lighting installation for homeowner Michelle Maiolo in Wake Forest, NC. Led by technician Brad Williams, the project was finished on March 27, 2025, and focused on enhancing nighttime safety and curb appeal with discreet, ground-mounted fixtures.
Michelle supplied the fixtures, and Touchstone Electric handled the layout, trenching, and wiring to integrate the new lights with the home’s existing lighting system. The result is a durable, weather-ready upgrade that highlights outdoor features while keeping wiring safely out of sight.
Scope of Work
- Three in-ground fixtures installed on the existing lighting circuit.
- Approximately 20 feet of trenching completed at a compliant depth to connect new light locations.
- UF 12/2 direct-burial wiring installed for reliable outdoor performance.
- Electrician and wireman team on site to maintain safety, speed, and neat workmanship.
This installation falls under our Lighting & Ceiling Fans services, with a focus on Lighting Installation for outdoor environments.
Code-Safe Trenching and Wiring
Outdoor electrical work demands careful planning and adherence to code. For this Wake Forest project, we trenched between light locations and routed UF 12/2 direct-burial cable at an appropriate depth for protection. All terminations were made using weather-appropriate methods, and the system was tested for proper operation before completion.

Results for the Home
The new in-ground lights provide subtle, low-profile illumination that helps guide pathways and accent landscape features after dark. By utilizing the home’s existing lighting circuit and burying the wiring, the system remains discreet while delivering dependable, weather-resistant performance for everyday outdoor use.
Whether you’re accenting trees, edging a walkway, or improving safety near steps and drive areas, in-ground fixtures are a smart choice for Wake Forest homeowners who want a refined look without visible fixtures or surface wiring.
