I assume you are trying to hide them? Sounds like brown cords would be the way to go. After dark no one will see them.

I use a spade and push in/bury my wires and extension cords! Quick fix that really cleans up the final look.

I'm in AZ also whichypoo and I find the brown cords blend in well at night. Others I cover with dirt and rocks (orange and green cords) or hide behind rock or bushes if I can.

If you are talking about keeping them down I've got some tent stakes from Walmart and zip tie them to those if I need to keep them in place. Remember to keep your pathways clear for your ToTs!

Not sure how I would go about trying to hide cords in nothing but sand and cactus lol (lived in West Texas for a while so I feel ya). But for some lighting aimed at a prop you could buy those battery powered strobe LED lights. No cords no problems.

I don't worry about hiding them for aesthetic reasons, more for safety. I have a cemetery fence all around my yard to keep folks from tripping on the cords. I also made PVC arches that I feed the cords thru to get across the sidewalk. On the park-strip (grass between sidewalk and road) I use orange cords because I want them to be seen so ToTs don't trip over them.

The arches slide over T-posts pounded in on both sides of the sidewalk

I thank you all for the info the brown cords show because the rocks are white lol .. and I hate the way it all looks. mostly in my pictures

Could you spray paint the cords white so they blend in better?

If your landscape cover is the crushed white rock, is it possible to make a little trench in the rock, place the cord in, and just push the rocks over? Should be pretty simple to pull them up after Halloween.
