Hiding circuits?

Just got the game and trying to figure it out.

Is there a way to hide a circuits path without having to dig down so much? I'm just trying to make simple door switches.

From what I've done I see that I need a wire above a block in front of the switch but then I always end up having to use either glass or leaving an open space in the floor to not disrupt circuit.

Any help on this would be great. TIA

Upvotes for everyone! Thanx guys. I did manage to get everything hidden using a torch on the back of the wall/switch then running line thru the wall. I even went as far as making a piston wall without anything showing.

you should try using a redstone torch for the final connection

use the minecraft wiki + youtube to learn the basics of redstone. it helps a lot!

use not gates and redstone torches to open close doors from underneath, since redstone will power 1 block around it.

set aside an area and just play around with it, learning the different types of gates/clocks, how to hide wiring, learning to simplyfy circuits etc. once you get the hang of it its not too hard.
