  • After interviewing a few companies, it was crystal clear that Northern Outdoor Lighting would complete our project with the highest level of quality and service. Our expectations were met and exceeded. Bill Knowles is a true gentleman who arrives on time and is concise and precise in project planning and product detail. His crew was careful, friendly and accommodated all our wishes. We couldn’t be happier with the final outcome that now beautifully accents our property.

  • I have worked with Bill and Northern Outdoor Lighting to work on several of my professional landscape projects and for my own home. All my experiences have been extremely positive. Over the past couple of years, he has been the best contractor I’ve worked with, so it was a no brainer to use him at my personal house as well. I highly recommend him for all your outdoor lighting needs.

  • 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.

  • What a great experience all around. These guys are pros.  They did great work and were flexible in working with me to maximize my spend while helping me to make the right tradeoffs to control the budget. The design work by Steve was fantastic. The install was excellent and the installers even better. Everyone I worked with in this company took great pride in their work and getting it right. In fact, they finished today and could have just walked away, but they noticed that some of the bulbs could be changed to enhance the look, and they did exactly that. They took notes and planned to come back to fix them and make them uniform. I not only recommend these guys, I highly recommend them. Fantastic work and fantastic people. I really enjoyed every single member of their crew and their company. Aces across the board.

  • I hired Bill to replace incandescent lights with LED lights that could be anchored with concrete for the front entrance of our neighborhood. Bill helped identify the ideal lights. They are attractive, energy saving, timer controlled, provide the right amount of light and can be anchored into the ground in a robust way. Bill was prompt in providing a quote, taking care of the work, answering questions and providing assistance. He is professional, knowledgeable, prompt and a pleasure to work with. I am very satisfied with the work, and I highly recommend Bill and his company.

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • 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

  • Bill and his team did an incredible job installing a full lighting plan on our property. Bill came to the house and gave us several quotes until we defined the exact scope of work. He is very knowledgeable and can fit the job to your goals and budget. We uplit the front, including a 100 year old willow. We did the whole back with three feature areas and a suspended lantern setup over my patio. It came out great. His team was very professional.  You cannot go wrong with Northern Outdoor.

  • Bill and his crew were wonderful to work with. The process was smooth and easy. Bill returned my initial call quickly and we were able to set up a date for him to look at the project. Bill came out once to look at the work, then came out again for a follow up and explanation of the estimate. The paperwork was all sent by email and was done in a very timely manner. We even had the option to pay online, which was great for us. Once the project was booked, Bill and his crew came out to set up the lighting. Every member of the team was extremely professional and cleaned up all the supplies. We are thrilled with the final project, and we highly recommend working with Bill. He is extremely knowledgeable and very pleasant to deal with.

  • 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.

  • 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.
