Rope lights installed along pathways, fences, or garden features to create safe, festive lighting. I handle the clipping, cable routing, and weatherproofing - you get a lit pathway that looks magical.
### Pathways That Glow
**Rope lights** transform dark winter gardens into something magical - and they're actually useful, lighting up paths and steps that are treacherous in December.
I'll install your rope lights wherever you want them - along pathways, fence tops, around posts - clip them securely, hide all the wiring, and make sure everything's weatherproof. Festive AND functional.
> 💡 **Pro tip:** Rope lights along the path from your gate to front door look brilliant AND help visitors (and delivery drivers) actually see where they're going on dark winter evenings.

Good to Know
> 🎄 **Combining with other displays?** If you're having roof lights, garden reindeer, or other Christmas decorations installed, I can do rope lights at the same time - saves multiple visits. **January takedown:** I can remove and coil up your rope lights properly in early January. Doing it yourself when it's cold and wet is miserable - let me handle it. **Exeter's older gardens?** Uneven paths, wonky fences, listed property restrictions - I've worked with all of it. Rope lights are versatile enough to handle most situations.
Frequently Asked Questions about Rope light installation in Newton Abbot
Where can rope lights be installed?
Pretty much anywhere in your garden - along pathways, around fence tops, up handrails, outlining flower beds, wrapped around pillars or posts. They're flexible (literally) so we can follow curves and corners easily.
Do I need to buy the rope lights first?
Yes - you choose the length and colour you want (warm white is most popular), and I'll install them. LED rope lights are best - they're weather-resistant and use minimal power.
How do you fix them so they don't move?
I use proper outdoor clips designed for rope lights - they grip firmly but can be removed without damage. For pathways, I often use ground stakes. Everything stays put even in Devon wind and rain.
Can you hide the power cable?
Absolutely - I route extension cables along fence bases, under path edges, or behind plants so they're basically invisible. All connections are weatherproofed and off the ground.
Are rope lights safe in the rain?
Outdoor-rated LED rope lights are designed for all weather. I make sure all connections are properly weatherproofed and kept off wet ground. They're absolutely fine in rain, snow, whatever Devon throws at them.
