Hello,
we are currently building our semi-detached house and I wanted to ask where electricity is typically needed in the garden?
We will install the garden electrical wiring ourselves using an underground cable and will take the power from the garage, then distribute it around the garden.
One outdoor socket will already be installed on the terrace at the house wall.
Where else in the garden is electricity needed?
We want to install the power supply before landscaping the garden to be prepared for the future (so we don’t have to dig it up later).
We plan to install one garden socket with two outlets near the robotic lawn mower station.
Where else and for what purposes might electricity be needed in the garden?

Where else do you need electricity in the garden?You can never have too many power outlets in the garden—just like inside the apartment or house.1. Multiple outlets on the terrace for various uses (electric garden tools, music, lighting)
2. Outlets throughout the garden for gardening equipment, garden pumps, lighting everywhere
Ideally, have an electrician install one or two separately protected 5-core cables going to the garden. You can easily distribute power yourself afterwards (for example, using underground junction boxes buried in the soil).

WilderSueden12 Jan 2022 13:45Where I would definitely plan for electrical power is in the garden shed and carport/garage, the latter potentially equipped with a heavy-duty electrical connection and some kind of lockable access.
Otherwise, it depends on what you plan to do in the garden. If you have a corded electric lawn mower, it’s certainly wise to distribute power outlets accordingly to avoid constantly dragging an extension cable around. The same applies to other electric garden tools.
And of course, any kind of lighting, light installations, or a pump for the garden pond.
There are really no limits for this kind of setup 😉

We also had two 5-core cables installed in the garden. With one of them, we made two phases switchable. We used the first phase to control the terrace lighting from the living room garden door.
In the front yard, there is a 5-core cable with one switched phase.
For the carport, a heavy-duty cable was installed for the (now installed) wallbox.
And there are network cables leading to both the garden and the carport.
