I would recommend running the wire from the transformer to the center of your light path and then tee off from there and run to the lights. This will help keep the same amount of voltage in all lights. In very dark areas, the drop in wattage can be noticeable from one fixture to the next.

i suck at ms paint but here's the trickiest part. it may be a little hard to tell from this pic but i want to run path lights down the little berm as well as put a couple spotlights behind the shrubs on the RIGHT of the front steps. Also want to run 3-4 path lights on the LEFT of the front steps then along the house..flagpole...then finally down the hill like in pic #1. Not sure the best way to do this. My pic shows 4 different runs so i'm not sure how to do that. The RIGHT side (i'll go under the wooden steps) dead ends. The LEFT side will continue 250' or more down the hill (2nd pic).
The white box is obviously the LV transformer. There's an outdoor outlet right there now.
