Detached Garage & Shed Power
Quick answer
Power to detached structures, trenched underground feed, sub-panel, lights, outlets, EV charger or welder circuits. Typical projects $1,500–$5,000 depending on distance and loads.Typical installed cost: $1,500–$5,000
A detached garage without power is a storage unit; with a proper feed and sub-panel it's a workshop, gym, studio, or EV bay. We trench and run the underground feeder, set a sub-panel sized to your plans, and wire the lights, outlets, and dedicated circuits that make the space work.
About Detached Garage & Shed Power
The difference between 'the shed has power' and a properly fed detached structure is what happens when you plug in something real. An extension-cord-grade feed browns out the moment a saw and the lights run together; a trenched feeder with a sub-panel runs a workshop, an EV charger, a gym's mini-split, whatever the building is becoming.
Our installs are sized to intent: the feeder gauged for the loads you're planning (not just today's bulb), a sub-panel with breathing room, GFCI where code wants it, and exterior-rated lighting and receptacles. Trench, conduit, backfill, permit, inspection, all included.
Feeder sizing by what the space will be
- Storage + lights: 30–60A feeder does it
- Workshop with 240V tools: 60–100A and a 12–24 space sub-panel
- EV bay: 60A minimum for a 48A charger, plus lights
- Studio/gym/office: 60A with mini-split and network conduit
- Future-proof move: oversize the conduit, wire upgrades are then easy

Distance and load drive it: a 60A feeder at 40 feet lands near the low end; a 100A feeder at 150 feet with finished-surface trenching costs more. We quote exactly after walking the route.
Typically 18–24 inches depending on wiring method (conduit vs direct burial) and what's above it. We handle trenching, conduit, backfill, and inspection.
With the right feeder size, yes, that's a planning question we solve up front. Load management can also share capacity between big tools and charging.
Usually, we walk the route together and plan around irrigation, roots, and patios. Boring under a walkway is routine; under a full driveway costs more but is done regularly.
