**★★★★★ — Great American Landscapes, July 2015**

> Great American Landscapes uses Outdoor Illumination to install lighting and irrigation systems for our most discerning clients.  Their prompt, courteous, and knowledgeable staff can handle everything we throw at them.  From small, quaint patios, to large terraced lawns with towering oaks, their design, installation, and service is unrivaled.  They are one of our most trusted partners, and we recommend them to anyone that asks.

**★★★★★ — daxenpax, Sept. 2013**

> OI is a great company.  They did my outdoor lighting on a complete landscape renovation.  They were fabulous to work with.  Quality and timeliness of the work were excellent and their customer service is incomparable.  They've come out to do maintenance since and their prices are reasonable and they respond very quickly.  They recently expended to do irrigation work as well, so I can get maintenance for both lighting and irrigation from one company.  My highest recommendation.

> Thank you so much for your review!  As always, it is a pleasure working for you.

  - Description: This project requiered working with an on-site mason as he built the back center bar and pool niches so our technicians could pre-wire for the illumination to be installed. FX Lumiere fixtures were used for up lighting, down lighting, and hanging lights. The design is inspired by the mediterean style lanterns provided by the client. Photography credit to Melissa Clark.
