I didn't even know that outdoor lighting specialists were a thing until our landscape designer connected us to Matt. We had no idea what we had been missing! We had a big landscaping and deck project. Plenty went wrong with other contractors involved in the project, but Matt consistently stood out as a shining light for us (yes, pun intended). He was super reliable and easy to deal with. We always knew exactly where we were in the process and what things would cost, and he patiently worked around the other contractors' schedules, drama, and snafus. We loved the demos he did for us in various sections of the yard. Since we were new to the whole concept, the demos were a great jumping off point for assessing what we did and didn't want, and Matt was extremely responsive to input. Once he knew what we liked/didn't like, he and his team took the ball and ran with it and accommodated all of our requests. We had lots of deck and stair lighting installed and he illuminated a new large water feature. I seriously swoon every time I look at it all. In addition to doing a great job for us, he was also an all-around nice guy to deal with (which was a refreshing change compared to some of the other contractors on the project). He has been back twice for minor adjustments and is always very responsive. We will hire him again without hesitation when we get started on the next phase of the landscaping updates. read more
