The controller plugs into an existing outside receptacle and the wiring is typically buried in the stone, mulch or pine straw in the gardens. Typical cost for a designer size house with lights front and rear, is around $400 for parts. Also I use liquid tape (Harbor freight) to seal the tap connections to each lamp. I can provide additional info for any DIYers, send a PM.

Thank you for your advice but because of physical limitations my husband is unable to do this type of job. I got a quote from Lenhart (almost 5 times the amount of parts) and I have an appointment with Pikes for another estimate. If you know of a contractor who does landscape lighting please let me know. Thank you
