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.

Northern Outdoor Lighting really listened to what we were looking for in our outdoor space. The lighting that they recommended is perfect. Two years later we are still thrilled with it. The installers were so professional and made sure we understood how everything worked in the event that we wanted to change timers, etc.  They followed up with us a year later to see if we were still satisfied with the project. I wish all contractors interacted as professionally as this group. I cannot say enough positive things. The whole experience was easy, and we love our outdoor space.

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

Wonderful!

On a whim, I reached out to Bill to design and install the lighting for my wedding last summer. I wanted temporary lights, and he was an expert in permanent. He was excited about the challenge and said that the materials were the same, just a slightly different strategy. I was 100% unprepared for how awesome, professional, cautious, thoughtful and reliable Bill would be about our project, which started as a temporary installation, as I said, and turned into permanent installations all over my parents farm because they loved the lighting so much.

Bill came up and did several site visits to our home in NH, he listened to my vision for how the lighting would flow at our outdoor wedding on our property, he made his own recommendations as well, which were creative and fun. He showed me sample fixtures and sent through a budget and got to work. For the installation, he came several days in advance of the wedding with a small crew to start putting the lights in place. He wanted to test everything before the day in case anything was wrong. Each day, the property came to life in a way that was unexpected. We’d never had outdoor lighting before and having it wash across the barn, the forest, the bread oven and the gardens was all incredible.

The event went off beautifully and Bill took all my crazy phone calls. After the main event, my parents decided to make a lot of the lighting permanent and they have enjoyed it ever since. Bill made sure all the wires and such were buried and the property was clean and safe, even when they were temporary, and he did a totally pro installation when they were made permanent. He has taken countless calls from my dad about replacing a bulb or adjusting a light. He is just the nicest person to deal with.

He never makes anyone feel uninformed, even though many are when it comes to outdoor lighting. I certainly was. He became like a member of our family for the weeks surrounding the biggest day of my life!

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.

It was awesome. They were very efficient. They were very honest. They were very knowledgeable. They were very easy to work with.

It was fantastic. We’re extremely happy with the result.

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.

Bill executed a fantastic lighting job to finish our new outdoor deck and patio project. We had not adequately planned for the lighting beforehand, but Bill came through with some wonderful ideas and insight. He was able to install it without sacrificing the end-product or impacting any of the newly installed stonework, decking or landscaping. His creative ideas were extremely valuable to us. Excellent work and highly recommended!

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.

As always, excellent!

Bill did a wonderful job with our front landscape lighting as well as the lighting in the outdoor kitchen. He suggested the layout of where the lighting would go and recommended the fixtures to use. He did a wonderful job with the installation, and I am very pleased with the results. He is professional and a pleasure to work with.

I would like to acknowledge Bill Knowles of Northern Outdoor Lights for the wonderful service he has provided us. He is very professional and easy to work with. The quality of his work is excellent. The improvements made to our outdoor lighting have really highlighted and accentuated our home. We enjoy working with Bill and greatly appreciate his expertise and thoroughness. We would highly recommend Northern Outdoor Lighting!
