I had damage to my landscape lighting and my invisible dog fence after the cable company showed up unannounced and started digging in the yard. Jon provided me with service the same day I called and everything got repaired. Thank you!

Jonathon was a great listener and communicator when adding lighting to our new deck. We put significant investment and thought into our new deck, and I thought Jonathon really understood the perfecting touch that added lighting would have as we enjoyed the space into the evening hours. He was able to suggest some ideas and stay within our budget. As we have needed adjustments since then, he’s been responsive and made sure we can continue to enjoy the space. Outdoor light can add a magical touch! I would highly recommend Lit Outdoor Lighting Company!

We had an excellent experience with Jon! We were very particular about our landscape lighting design, from the layout to the actual lights (color, style, you name it) and Jon was super helpful in guiding us through our options and pricing. Installation was clean and straightforward and we love the convenience of the timer and all of the optional settings. Jon provides prompt maintenance too -- we've had a few knocked over by our dogs and he got them right back up and working in no time! We highly recommend his services!

Jon reached out to me in late winter to propose a service call to ensure my outdoor lights were functioning properly - just as I was realizing some of my lights were not working. As we agreed, he followed up to schedule an appointment in April, showed up on time, and took care of a number of issues at a reasonable cost. I will gladly use his services again!

Jonathon is a master at his craft! Highly recommend LIT if you are looking to take your landscaping and yard to the next level.

We've been working with Jonathan, the owner of LIT Outdoor Lighting Company for over 10 years—and we couldn't be happier with the results. From day one, Jonathan has been incredibly responsive, professional, and detail-oriented. He and his team consistently deliver high-quality, low-voltage lighting solutions that enhance the beauty, safety, and overall ambiance of our home. What sets LIT apart is not just the quality of their work, but the reliability of their service. They're always prompt, communicate clearly, and follow through without fail. Jonathan has a great eye for design and continually helps us think through how to improve and expand our outdoor lighting over time. Their pricing is fair and clearly reflects the value of the work they do—exceptional craftsmanship, premium products, and service that lasts. In a world where it's hard to find consistent, trustworthy partners, Jonathan and LIT stand out as true professionals. Highly recommended!

Jonathon and team did a great job with my lighting in my yard! When I moved into my home, there was an existing system that needed a lot of work, and LIT Outdoor was able to come out and replace everything and put in a better system! I've been utilizing their yearly maintenance program ever since, and it's been great! Always willing to come out if there are any issues or burnt out bulbs. Highly recommend!
