The Benefits of Professional Landscape Lighting

Boost Your Home’s Value and Curb Appeal

Architectural lighting is one of the most effective ways to increase your home’s market value. By strategically highlighting features like peaks, stonework, and columns, you create a high-end, dramatic look that makes your property stand out after dark. It’s an investment that enhances curb appeal and delivers a significant return.

Enhance Security and Peace of Mind

A well-lit home is a safe and secure home. Our lighting designs focus on illuminating shadowy corners, entryways, and dark pathways around your property. This not only makes your home safer for your family and guests but also serves as a powerful deterrent to potential intruders, giving you invaluable peace of mind.

Highlight Unique Architectural Features

Whether it’s brick detailing, rooflines, archways, or pillars, our lighting techniques—uplighting, downlighting, and shadowing—accentuate your home’s finest details, making them pop after sundown.

We are so very pleased with LIT Outdoor Lighting . Incredibly responsive whenever we have an issue even when we have dug through a cable by mistake! The annual service contract is well worth it as they check everything and do preventative maintenance so we have beautiful lighting all through the year. Highly recommended.

I have hired Jonathon to install a variety of lights in both the front and back of my house. In addition he was helpful with choosing light fixtures, some of which are made by a local Craftsman that Jonathon has access to. He has always done great work but in a world where customer service is no longer prioritized by many big and small companies, Jonathon stands alone. No matter the issue he has always stood behind his work and products. I highly recommend him - you will not go wrong.

Cat & Andrew Forsgren

We loved working with Jonathan and appreciated his knowledge in lighting up our backyard. I knew the feeling I wanted for our landscape lighting, but I wasn’t sure what the end product should look like – Jonathan was so great at working with our vision and making the dream come to life. I wanted to be able to appreciate our backyard during the darker winter months, but in the meantime it has completely transformed how we’ve used our deck this summer. With the trees, rock wall, and decorative cabin lit up, we can appreciate our full backyard at night. So happy with the end product and we look forward to doing our front yard someday!

Chris Johnson

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!

Larry Stranghoener

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!

From day one, Jonathan has been incredibly responsive, professional, and detail-oriented.

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.
