Ivanhoe’s leafy streets, established gardens and beautiful character homes make it one of the loveliest parts of Melbourne’s north-east. We help you enjoy them more, with automated garden lighting, Shelly smart homes and UniFi security, along with all your everyday electrical work.
Garden Lighting That Brings Out Your Garden
Ivanhoe’s mature trees and deep gardens look spectacular when they’re lit well. We uplight trees and feature plants, add soft path and step lighting, and light decks and entertaining areas, all with warm, glare-free fittings that light the garden rather than the neighbours’ windows.
We use premium copper fittings that weather beautifully, and automate everything to switch on at sunset and adjust with the seasons. We also work alongside garden designers and landscape architects, so the lighting brings out their design.

Respecting Ivanhoe’s Character Homes
From Edwardian and Californian bungalows to architect-designed homes in Eaglemont, many Ivanhoe houses have features worth protecting. We plan every job around the character of your home:
- Shelly smart modules hidden behind existing switches, so original switch plates can stay
- Cabling hidden wherever possible, with minimal patching
- Discreet camera positions that don’t spoil the frontage
- Lighting that suits the era and style of the house
We’re a family-run team of licensed electricians based nearby in Kew, and Tom personally designs and programs every system we install.

Can my existing garden lights be automated without digging up the garden?
Usually, yes. We can add smart control to your existing garden lighting circuit, so the lights switch on at sunset and can be controlled from your phone, without disturbing the garden.

Yes. Shelly smart modules fit behind your existing switches, so you keep your switch plates and gain phone, voice and scheduled control.
