ᐅ Connections for electricity and other utilities in the front yard and garden

Hello and good evening everyone,

I wanted to ask the group about the electrical connections you have installed or planned for the front yard area and those facing the garden.

For the front yard, I am currently considering only a single switchable power line for lighting, such as illuminated flower beds and/or pathway lighting. On the other side of the house, facing the garden, I am thinking of installing a switchable power line for lighting as well as a separate power line with a higher capacity to supply a potential garden shed, where several devices (refrigerator, TV, or whatever) might be connected. Additionally, there would be outdoor outlets directly on the house wall facing the garden—but how many would be sensible?

How have you set this up?

You can never have too much electricity.
- Terrace lighting
- Pavilion lighting
- Pathway lighting
- Power for root heating of olive trees
- Fountain pump
- Power outlets for garden tools in various locations
and so on.
In my previous house, I had 2 cables with 5 conductors each (or 3 cables?), plus an additional 1 cable with 5 conductors running to switches inside, 3 exterior lights controlled by switches, power in the garden shed, power for the pump, and power for the pool.

North side, Level 0, House entrance: 2 electrical outlets and 1 water connection
North side, Level +1, Bedroom terrace: 2 electrical outlets
East side, Level 0, Kitchen terrace: 2 electrical outlets and 1 water connection
South side, Level 0 (balcony terrace): 5 electrical outlets
South side, Level -1 (lower terrace): 3 electrical outlets and 1 water connection (will be switched to cistern pump in summer)
West side, Level 0: 1 electrical outlet and 1 three-phase power socket
South side driveway: power connection planned (motorhome parking)
East side parking spaces: power connection / wallbox planned in carport (to be built)

Don't forget the charging station for the robotic lawn mower

We do not have a lawn.

Wow, that much?
In our garden, we have:
1 water connection
1 switchable outlet on the terrace
1 switchable pillar with 2 outlets in the garden
2 lights on the terrace – switchable on/off/always on/motion detector
That’s all.
It’s enough for everything we need.
The grill uses gas; we don’t want unnecessary light pollution.

The only thing I sometimes miss is having water in front of the house, but we decided against it out of paranoia (you might forget to turn it off, and then someone else could turn it on as a nasty prank or something).
