Lighting our yard

We have tried many things but our gardener keeps cutting the wires with his lawn or his weed eater. Is there an inexpensive way to light up the yard with out doing it over every two years?

The wires should be buried at least a few inches in the ground, covered with mulch, or stone (if that is what you have). I have the Malibu lights and my wires are buried, for safety and looks. I also have some solar lights mixed in with the wired lights. You can go wih all solar lights and have no wires. To me, solar lights are too dim, so I mix them up.

William nailed it - they do have a specialty shovel to essentially cut a narrow strip of ground down about 6 inches which you place the wire in & then simply step on to close it back up

William covered it well.l also use a mix of solar and buried hard wired lights and spot lights. SLS explained how to burie them. It can be done with a regular flat end shovel.

Where the wires cross between a flower bed and grass or the grass and the driveway, etc., I have run the wire through a narrow piece of PVC pipe and buried that. This way, when they are weed eating or edging, the wire does not get cut.

We also have solar lites evenly spaced along the border of our yard.

How do you keep the Gardner from clipping them as they do with the weed eater.
