Mike and his team did a great job with our outdoor lights -- designing, installing, and tying the whole thing together with a central control. And just as important to me, they were reliable... showed up when they said they would, and were very efficient in finishing the job. Mike was also very patient bearing with us as we made a few tweaks/adjustments after the fact. A very good and easy experience and I will certainly hire them again for my next lighting project. read more

A fantastic team that delivered an excellent Light Story for our property. The installer was amazing, manage to lay wiring through our landscaping with such skill that I had a hard time figuring out which areas he had disturbed while working, or how the wires were routed. The entire experience from beginning to end was fantastic, and I would use them on any further projects I come up with. read more

After doing some intensive research regarding exterior lighting I came across Lightscape Designs. I read all of the reviews and I was very excited to reach out to them. I placed a call and left a voicemail. Shortly after leaving the message, I received a call back from Mike. When I spoke with Mike he sounded very knowledgeable in light exteriors, we set up a meeting to go over my plan. At our meeting, Mike made some recommendations and we hired him on the spot. I indicated to Mike this was my Valentine's present so I needed the project to be completed by then. Mike and his crew came on Tuesday February 8th and the job was executed. Mike and his crew were phenomenal!... Hard workers, very neat and clean. Thank you, Mike, for the beautiful work, I am so happy with my Valentine's gift. I would totally recommend Mike at Lightscape Designs. read more

Our experience working with Mike and his team at Lightscape Designs was wonderful. From the beginning everything went very smoothly. Mike was very flexible with us as we needed his team onsite on a specific day to do the trenching, between when the landscapers removed our existing lawn and before installing the new turf and Mike made it happen with no issues at all. The installers, Jim and Roberto, were amazing also. Extremely polite, organized and did amazing work. We are extremely happy with how our project went and would recommend Lightscape Designs to anyone needing any type of outdoor lighting. read more

After researching exterior lighting companies in SD, I turned to Yelp for reviews. After reading Lightscape Designs Yelp reviews, I decided to go with them. I met with the owner, Mike, and discussed my ideas, and let him do the rest. I was absolutely amazed with the installation. Jim and the crew were well organized, efficient, and displayed expertise beyond my expectations. When they had completed the installation you could not tell that they had even been here. Only the lights were visible. I've included some photos that I took with my phone. They leave a lot to be desired, as I had never taken night landscape photos before. I highly recommend this company. There is a reason they have a solid 5 star rating on Yelp. read more

We had a 20+ year old system in place that was limping along. Mike and his team came in and installed all new fixtures and added new ones, upgraded timers, and replaced incandescent bulbs with LED. The clean up job was amazing and reasonably priced. The real plus is the customer service and cleanliness; we never felt like our home was a job site. They cleaned up every day and the places where they had to trench were carefully restored. No plants were damaged in the slightest! I can't recommend their services enough. Also, Mike sold us on the swirly bollards from Attraction Lighting. Great call. Really, A+ work. read more

I hired Mike and he did a fantastic job at my house here in Spring Valley. I really needed some direction and he gave me some really great ideas on design and we went with those. We love looking at our lit-up backyard every evening and we get compliments from my neighbors all the time. Thanks for brightening up our lives Mike! We really appreciate it and will recommend your business to anyone we can think of. read more

I'm typically a hard person to please, but I can say with absolute confidence Mike and his crew at Lightscape Designs did an amazing job on our low voltage landscape lighting. He was very professional, prompt and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend this company! read more

Count us among the many happy Lightscape customers - Mike and his crew were outstanding from start to finish. It's hard to add to the other great reviews here without being repetitive, but one thing really stands out: Mike REALLY has an eye for placing lights correctly, i.e. not just lighting a dark spot, but accenting a particular area according to the surrounding architecture and landscape. He is remarkably talented and a pleasure to work with. read more

I just want to give Mike and his amazing crew a 5-star review. I moved into the Loma Portal area 2 years ago. My house needed some serious work in front of the house. I have turfed the lawn, laid big and small boulders, replaced plants and still laying cool stone to make the house look great. However, it was missing lights which as we all know are the jewels of the house. I looked on yelp and saw 5-star reviews about Mike and Lightscape. I called Mike and he came out a few days later and walked the front and backyard. I had a budget and Mike and I worked out a great plan for the front and backyard. I was a little worried because Mike was talking about putting lights in the turf to show off some of the palms and then putting lights in areas where stone was already laid. Mike said don't worry we got it. Mike is an OB guy and makes you feel really comfortable about what his crew is going to do to the property. He said you will never know that we were even here (except for the amazing lights). I am telling you Mike is a man of his word. Alejandro and his team were amazing! I can't tell you all how awesome these guys were. I had over 30 lights put in and to be honest don't know how they did it. I can see preconstruction but not a house that has this many obstacles. Anyway, I live in the Loma Portal area and my house is for sure the jewel of the street. Hopefully, more folks in the neighborhood will take the lead and light up this amazing area. Thanks again Mike and team! read more

Since we've moved into our bigger home recently, we have had quite a few enhancements to make it more beautiful, and I must say, of all the projects that we have had, the outdoor lighting that Mike and his team did has the most value (the beauty it creates compared to the money spent on it). The lights are so beautiful at night, and we got so many compliments from friends and families visiting our home. Mike and his team did an outstanding job on our front yard and backyard lighting for us. He is an honest family man, very knowledgeable and experienced. He knows exactly where the location that needs light even during daytime where one normally cannot see it, and he knows how and where to add beauty to the outdoor with lights. His pricing is turnkey, no surprise or extra cost at completion, and very reasonable compared to other companies that we looked at. And he is licensed, unlike some of others who are not licensed. Originally, we were just going to do the front yard for safety reason because it's kind of dark at night when we have guests walking in/out of our home. I have talked to a few companies, but after my conversation with Mike, we decided to go with Mike and Lightscape Design full fledge with both the front yard and backyard, and we have over 30 lights. His working crew, with Alejandro, is very responsible for their work, clean, no mess, and they finished one day before schedule. Overall, we are very satisfied and happy with the entire experience, and we very much enjoy our lights every night! I highly recommend Mike Geier and Lightscape Designs read more

Wow. We had Mike & his team install 16 lights in our backyard and it transformed it into a beautiful moree functional space. His guys are amazing in what they can do, there isn't 1 wire to be found and that meant trenching and everything was put back exactly as is was before. He was easy to work with and very helpful in placement of the lights. Definitely use his company if you want quality work.We highly recommend Mike. read more

When looking at landscape lighting companies, I looked at 3 companies. 6 years ago when buying our new home, we looked into using Silver Moon Lighting when it was originally owned and ran by Kyle Finley. He was excellent and definitely was organized, drew up the locations of where the lights would go and his suggestions were great. For many reasons, we couldn't do the lighting at that time 6 years ago. Flash to this year and I wanted to use Kyle again. Sadly, he sold the business. I wanted to give the new owner a try. I talked to the new owner, and it was day and night difference. The new owner didn't seem to care very much. Two of his guys showed up, looks like they were the guys that carried out the actual work. They seemed nice enough, they made some suggestions. But when I received a quote for the work, it was not a detailed list of types of lights, nor was there a list of where it would go. It was just one total quote and that's it. What if I wanted to take out this or that light? What if I wanted to add another light? I couldn't do that with one total quote. I was not happy with the quality of service and how Silver Moon Lighting is run now. Then I looked into another landscape lighting company, run by an Australian or perhaps New Zealander guy. The pros, was that he had good ideas for design. The guy was very much a smooth talker and was speaking very much like a salesman trying to sell me way more than I needed. He had an assistant with him, and I thought this was a bit odd as I'm used to contractors talking one-on-one and being straight shooters. But, I was uneasy with his pitch and him wanting to add lights of different color filters, etc. His suggestions were all really over the top. Add onto that, he doesn't have a contractor's or electrician's license so he wasn't going to put in the lights himself. He was basically just the designer and had someone else put in the lights for him. I wanted to work with someone who was invested in doing the lighting and carried the work out himself or oversaw it. Luckily, I met with Mike from Lightscape Designs. He was honest and had integrity throughout the process. He owns this company and has a contractor's license to do landscape lighting. He grew up around the lighting business. Because he carries out the work himself with his team, he was always on top of everything and met any needs I had. He met my budget and had great design ideas that made sense for my landscape. He's a straight shooter so he was honest about what looked best and what could be done. I wanted a modern concept with my landscape lighting. My back yard is very modern and had many clean lines, so I wanted to continue the modern theme. We started a very collaborative dialogue of what modern lights were out there. Typically, a lot of the landscape lighting companies use this one catalogue from this one company with the same brass type lights. I wanted nickel-plated, silver colored metal material that was more contemporary. I shared with him some inspiration lighting that I really liked. In turn, he provided booklets of lighting from several different companies like FX, Bega, Aurora Lights, Unique Lighting, and many many others. This was great! I didn't have to get the same lights everyone had and was able to customize the lights with the right type for my yard. I found lights that were modern and sleek, but they were expensive. Mike suggested lights that were similar for half the price or less. He was so pleasant and patient in this collaborative project. I appreciated all the ideas that he came up with and the final design was fabulous. We ended up doin uplights highlighting the columns of our house and the trees, level lights that were shined horizontally, path lights and moonlighting. We get to enjoy our backyard at night now and so many of our neighbors have complimented on the beauty of the lighting design. On top of this, the LED lights have a warm glow and it will last a very long time without needing any maintenance. The cost to run LED lights are nominal and we get to have it on for a long time making us feel great about saving on electricity cost. There was also lighting software/hardware timers that Mike put in. My husband is a software engineer and we wanted a system that could be used with an app with our phones to turn on/off lights. Mike worked with us in getting a system that was integrated. If you are traditional and wanted to put a manual shutoff/on button then that was fine too. Or you could choose to have it set up both ways technologically. After our lighting was put in, we needed some adjustments done. If we didn't like some aspect of how the lighting looked, Mike was out there fixing it until the lighting was perfect. Bottom line: Mike is your guy for top notch service. He is honest and willing to help customers execute their vision within their budget. I am beyond pleased by his work and recommend him to everyone that needs quality lighting put in.

We just finished a large outdoor lighting project with Mike Geier, and could not be happier with the results, the service, the price, the skill of Mike's crew, and his attention to detail. Mike actually made recommendations that saved us money (and lowered his fee for the job), by reducing the number of lights we thought we needed! I would recommend Mike Geier to anyone who is looking to do outdoor lighting on their property. We already have him bidding on another residence we rent as a vacation rental! read more

Mike is professional lighting installer that goes above and beyond to ensure not only the lighting design meets the project requirements, but his installation practices are above the industry standard giving you a hassle free landscape lighting system for years and years of enjoyment. His attention to detail and design ideas will open your outdoor space in your home for night time enjoyment all year. read more

Mike was fantastic. He showed up on time for our meeting an to give me a quote. He and his crew showed up on time for the installation. They were done at the time they said they would be done. They cleaned up everything when they were done. My home looks beautiful at night. I couldn't be more satisfied. Even with payment ... Mike said make sure you like everything, look at it at night. If there's anything you're not happy with let me know right away we will fix it. And I didn't have to pay him until I was satisfied (which was right away). Just put a check in the mail. You know so many contractors want a deposit. Then they want payment made immediately. Mike was so easy going that I just had to write this review (which I only do if I really love or hate a company). I highly recommend Lightscape Designs. read more

Mike and his team just replaced the lighting system in the front of my house and refurbished the existing system in back. They did a wonderful job and I couldn't be more pleased with the result! They are a pleasure to work with, Mike required very little input from me to design a great system; they jiggered their schedule to complete my job before a party I was having; and their price is fair. Mike is not just a good technician, he has an artist's touch. read more

Just stellar. The house feels bigger from the inside and is beautiful from the outside. Mike was prompt, easy to work with, forgiving of some missteps we made, and the result was exactly what we wanted. We appreciated the information and direction he provided throughout the process. His crew equally professional. Not sure how you could do better. read more

I could not be happier; my yard is STUNNING!!! I highly recommend Lightscape Designs! Mike (owner) is a true artist and he's both friendly and honest. My home is pie-shaped, facing a canyon. Therefore at night, my yard was completely black. Mike came to my home within a few days of contacting him. He provided a lot of direction and recommendations. Ultimately, we decided to install several up-lights to highlight the shape and design of our yard! My yard now has a beautiful glow at night, resembling that of a high-end resort. I'm truly enjoying sharing the ambience with my family and friends! Thanks Mike!!! read more

Wow! If I could give them more stars I would! Mike G. and Lightscape Designs were amazing! Mike did a detailed walk-thru, made excellent suggestions and met our budget constraints. He's creative, professional, communicative and he treats his staff and workers well, which translated into a terrific and prompt installation process. They were absolutely wonderful to work with, showed up on time and finished the job on time and within budget, as promised. I will definitely hire Mike and crew again and recommend them to anyone who needs a great landscape lighting design and install. read more

I cant say enough great things about Mike and his crew. We hired Mike at Lightscape Designs after meeting with a few different lighting companies. From the first time I reached out to Mike, he was responsive and eager to work with us. He was able to meet right away to walk the property, listen to our needs and make recommendations. We were planning to have lighting installed where there was no electricity and he explained exactly how they could make it all work. He responded with in 24 hours with 2 quotes (2 options). The other companies took 4-6 days to email me a quote. We asked Mike to come back again, at night when it was dark (8:30 pm b/c it was summer) to show us the fixtures/bulbs he was recommending. Once we new we were a go, Mike scheduled us and completed the work. Upon completion of the work, his crew left the property clean and tidy after all the digging, dirt and materials that were strewn upon the area. I can't say enough great things!! read more

My Wife and I just had Mike and the team complete our home's landscape lighting and they did a FANTASTIC job. They install both front and backyard lighting as well as retro fitting our existing lights on the front of our house and the lights in our fire-pit patio area. The team left the property clean everyday and the job was done on time and at budget. Thank you Mike, Kyle & Irma read more

Cannot recommend more highly. Hired Mike off his yelp reviews - he redid the entire outdoor lighting at my house and did a fantastic job. His team was amazing as well. Wish every company was like this one. read more

This is my first written review on yelp and Mike was the one who compelled me to write this. Mike is professional and is very customer service oriented. He wants to PLEASE the customer. (Customer service is lacking these days.) He came to our home, set up a plan after reviewing the existing system, and quickly produced a bid. He and his crew got the work done. We over paid Mike and he immediately brought it to our attention and reimbursed us!! Mike is HONEST!!! Can't get much better than this! Thank you Mike and Jorge!! read more

I found Lightscape Designs and owner Mike Geier on Yelp. He is an excellent designer and contractor. His crew works extremely well together. They are very knowledgable. They worked around all of our flowering plants, fruit trees, shrubs and garden pathways without disturbing anything. They work quickly and efficiently but are friendly, courteous and highly qualified. Mike's designs are beautiful. He uses very high quality fixtures. I highly recommend this firm. read more

We couldn't be happier with our newly lighted back yard! We found Lightscape Design online when we needed to update our outdoor lighting. Mike Geier was quick to respond, a consummate professional with great suggestions to improve on our ideas while being helpful in keeping the costs down. We were pleased by the ingenuity in hiding all the wiring as the ground he had to work with was filled with tough roots. Ours was a smaller job, just 16 lights, and it's made all the difference in the use of our yard in the evening. We can now enjoy the pool, the Buddha and our Marquesans Tiki after dark. Lightscape Designs hardworking crew was done with our project early. Mike has an eye for detail and delivered more than our expectations. We will gladly recommend Lightscape Designs to everyone. read more

This is the first contractor I have used that warranted joining yelp to review him. We have lived in San Diego for about 8 years and have used many contractors for various things. Some have been mediocre, a few bad, and even the good ones have always had some issues. We had no issues with Mike Geier and Lightscape Designs, he did a fantastic job on our lighting, and went far above our expectations. Our job was a decent sized one (about 75 lights) and we shopped around quite a bit and got several quotes. Mike was competitive but not cheaper than the others we met with. We ended up choosing him because we "got a good feeling" about his personality - no up-sell, very straightforward with his itemized pricing, very instructive about the differences between different lights. When they came out and did the install, he noticed that some of my older lights that we had left on the patio could be retrofitted to LED so he just went out and did it and put new bulbs in all of them (no charge!). They completed the install in the time they said they would, and Mike came out that night to check it out. We had chosen a fairly unique light and it was not one he has installed before (and was a more expensive model). The first thing he said (we had already noticed this) when he arrive was that the lights didn't work (were too bright from certain angles) and we should pull them. He then recommended several different (less expensive!) options and installed one of each for us to see them. After we chose one, they came out, replaced them, and gave us a credit for the less expensive lights (no extra charges for labor, no nickel and diming, nothing). They also did some other electrical work and extra stuff to make the system run more smoothly that was not included in the quote he did not charge extra for. This guy is honest, takes pride in his work, and does a great job. Strongly recommend. read more

I hired Mike and his crew to help fix outdoor fixtures on a old house we just bought. He was very professional and helpful. We ended up designing a brand new outdoor "lightscape" with him. He definitely has an artistic flare. I love how he involved us in the design process and allow us to pick and chose things and cost. The price was very reasonable. The job was completed on time and in a very professional manner (2 days). He even came back afterwards at night with us for a walk though and made some adjustments. I still get complements for my neighbors. I highly recommend his service and would not hesitate to call on him again. read more

Mike and his team are experts in everything they do. I always recommend them to my customers looking for quality design and installation work. read more

Mike and his team did an excellent job lighting up my outdoor area! He designed a ~20 light package for the backyard and I couldn't be happier with the result. Top quality material, LED lighting, and all connected and controllable from my iPhone. I would recommend Mike and his company to anyone looking to light up their landscape area. read more

Mike was extremely professional and wonderful! He did our lighting outside this year and we could not be more pleased! The lighting is BEAUTIFUL and adds so much to our house. We have received so many compliments. Mike was efficient, kind and cleaned up after himself. Would definitely recommend him. read more

I contacted Lightscape Designs after reading their positive reviews on Yelp, and viewing their work on their website. The owner, Mike Geier called me back the same day, and we set up a meeting just a few days later. He came out to my property and listened to my concerns and requests regarding my failed yard lighting system, and after a short study, gave me his tentative plan for a new LED light project, which I wanted. Within just a few days, he sent me a detailed proposal, with options. The project was completed in one day, as soon as all ordered lights had been received. I found Mike to be honest, not at all pushy, trustworthy and punctual, and friendly. His crew with Jim, Roberto and Jorge were excellent, hard working, and left the yard looking cleaner than when they arrived, with all wires and connections neatly covered up. The end result is spectacular, clearly the jewel of our street. I was tired of my old system constantly needing repairs and new light bulbs. I anticipate this system to last in great shape for many years to come. It's clearly worth the investment. Thank you Mike and guys! read more

We had an old landscape lighting system that really needed an update and repair. Mike reviewed our current situation, made really helpful suggestions, and planned improvements, working with what was already in place. His crew worked quickly and efficiently, and it all looks so nice now!! Many thanks to Mike and his staff for drastically improving our nighttime view! read more

I recently used Lightscape Design to fix a few problems with my outdoor lighting. I had previously had another company come out, but the were totally unreliable and never got the job done. I got Lightscape Design from a neighbor. Mike and his crew were right on time. We went through the problems I was having, and explained everything thoroughly and completed the job the same day. He also cleaned up all my fixtures and ensured that everything was adjusted perfectly. I highly recommend Mike and his company for both lighting installation and maintenance. It's a pleasure to work with a contractor who is both reliable and conscientious. read more

We are ecstatic with our lighted backyard! After much research and comparisons with other companies, we chose to work with Mike and couldn't be happier with the results. Mike was clear, concise, honest, and a great value for the price and results. All of the products used are top notch. Not only is our backyard beautiful, it also provides great lighting for security. Lightscape Designs is one of the premier lighting companies in Southern California, and you will be happy with the results. read more
