  • 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.

  • 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.

    Houzz Five-Star Review

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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!

  • 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 fantastic. We’re extremely happy with the result.

  • Bill did a great job for me. His people were professional and incredibly responsive if I had any issue at all. I would strongly recommend him to anyone that needs his services.

    Justin P.

  • 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.

    Kevin G.

  • 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 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.
