I have worked with Northern Outdoor Lighting on many projects, from small house lighting additions to full low-voltage landscape lighting installations. Bill and his highly skilled team are professionals through and through. They provide a superior experience to any other landscape lighting professionals in the New England region. Northern Outdoor Lighting is my first and last call for exterior lighting needs on any property or project I am involved in!

Bill Knowles has done three landscape lighting proposals for me, two of which I had him install (15-25 fixtures each). Bill is very knowledgeable about landscape lighting products. He recommends fixtures that are durable and long lasting. He has the experience to know where best to position light fixtures and how to properly wire them. He is confident in his approach, while also easy-going about listening to the owner’s input. His proposals were clear and detailed with product cut sheets provided. He does not usually provide any drawings locating the lighting on a landscape plan, however, if there were a landscape architect involved, I assume they would provide that service. As an architectural designer myself, I was particularly interested in the aesthetics of the lighting, not just their function. Bill delivered two great-looking projects. As for the warranty, it is very generous. After installation Bill returned to adjust light levels with lower wattage bulbs, adjust the timers and replace any faulty bulbs at no charge.

Bill and his team are great. We felt that he was competent and experienced in giving us good advice. The project turned out beautifully. We had done another lighting project with our landscapers previously, who charged us much more, had little advice to offer and said that they cannot drill into our retaining walls to install lights. Bill said that it was not a problem to install lights in retaining walls, did so without a problem and gave us a beautiful result.

We found Northern Outdoor Lighting by chance after an online search for contractors in our area. After seeing other homes with outdoor lighting during a recent vacation of ours, we decided to see if it would have the same effect on our home. Bill at Northern Outdoor Lighting made it a reality. The welcoming warm picture that our lighted home now provides at night has added a whole new dimension to our property. Bill was very responsive to our inquiries, and happily and quickly provided an at home visit to discuss options. We decided to have the front of our property lighted. Bill’s team completed the job on schedule with absolutely no evidence of the work that had been done other than the beautiful lighting that our house now has. We are already planning work for the back of our house and will indeed be looking to Northern Outdoor Lighting in the near future. Northern Outdoor Lighting has our highest recommendation and confidence.  A pleasure to work with!

The landscape lighting project went perfectly as planned. Bill Knowles and his team at Northern Outdoor Lighting did a great job with the layout design. Their team is very professional, courteous as well as responsive to all of my follow up questions. I highly recommend them.

Wonderful!

Northern Outdoor Lighting provided outdoor lighting for our garden in Cambridge, MA. I called all of their references before we hired them. All of the people I spoke with gave Bill Knowles glowing references. As much as I was skeptical, it was the best decision we made to hire Northern Outdoor Lighting! Bill and his team worked quickly and efficiently. They came back at least twice to tweak the color temperature of the lamps and to add some additional lights. Our garden was transformed!

Northern Outdoor Lighting upgraded our outdated outdoor lighting and added new lighting to enhance the surrounding landscape: a New Hampshire site with mixed woodlands, fern covered fields and banks, and garden areas with many specimen trees. Bill Knowles and his highly professional crew were meticulous in laying underground wiring, selecting appropriate lighting effects and following through with every possible detail, from start to finish. The end result is magical. It is as if the moon were seeping through our trees.  A perfect job, on-time and under budget.

Bill and his crew did a fantastic job on my lighting project. I hired Northern Outdoor Lighting to install some landscape lights (11 fixtures) for my front yard and it has made a world of difference to the look of our home at night. Bill is very easy to work with. When I got home, I couldn’t even tell that he and his crew were there. The types of fixtures that were used are all high quality and look great. I can’t recommend them enough. I’m pretty hard to please when it comes to home improvement projects, and Northern Outdoor Lighting exceeded my expectations. Thank you.

With experience as a professional landscaper, Bill has a true sense and vision of how to illuminate an outdoor scene. His knowledge is a true resource for every project. His team was a pleasure to work with when we were confronted with tight schedules and fixed budgets.  Northern Outdoor Lighting earns my highest recommendation as the premiere outdoor lighting expert in New England.

Bill was punctual, polite and completed the job fully as agreed upon. Everything looks perfect. He was a pleasure to work with.

Northern Outdoor Lighting designed and installed walkway lighting for my home. Extremely thorough and professional. Excellent recommendations, prompt quotation, professional installation, on-time and on-budget. Very good experience, and the lighting looks great

I saw Bill’s work initially on a newly renovated house on Bacon St. in Winchester.

I really like how efficient and professional Bill’s process was from start to finish. He is extremely knowledgeable in landscape lighting and design. I am very particular, and he is an excellent listener. I believe in doing things right the first time, and Bill was the right hire. He installed top of the line landscape light fixtures at a fair value for the quality of workmanship and product. He is also a man of his word. He came back to do an annual review of my property and fixed a couple of broken fixtures that were probably caused by my landscapers weedwhackers. I would highly recommend Bill.

Landscape lighting really changes the look of your house. I see it as an intelligent investment akin to Lasik eye surgery, meaning: you do not necessarily need it, but once you go ahead and do it you are really happy with the result.

We are thrilled with our new outside lighting. Start to finish, Northern Outdoor Lighting provided excellent service, including design and installation. I recommend them to anyone interested in stepping up their outdoor lighting.

We would absolutely recommend Northern Outdoor Lighting to anyone looking for landscape lighting professionals. Bill listens to your ideas and requests, then takes you through the whole design process. His team is super friendly and very knowledgeable. Bill and his team take pride in their work, take the time to listen and do things right. They follow up after the installation, make sure you’re happy with the way things turned out and make any necessary adjustments. We couldn’t be happier with the job they did.
