Apparently the owner blacks out weeks for service to existing customers, just to satisfy new customers. I feel this is highly unprofessional to customers who already paid thousands of dollars for services. I was also told that the owner would not call me back to talk to me about my issues. Is this how you conduct business? I do not recommend **★★★★★ — Grant Paplauskas, Aug. 2018** > People who come visit me at night no longer have to fear losing their vehicle in the woods that is my yard. Living on a heavily-wooded lot, with a long winding driveway, that’s always been a problem. Not anymore. > I tend to be very particular about design and my home and well, everything, but for this project my wife and I decided to let the professionals do their thing. They know landscape lighting. I do not. So Darrin came out, we talked about some ideas, and we let his creative expertise get to work. > His estimates came back within the range we were hoping for, and we even decided to forward with adding on the backyard to the project as well. > What he came up with was a beautiful and clever system for illuminating our home. The difference is truly magical and epic. > But here are a few things to note that I think are also important to say. I made tweaks. I can’t help it. I’m kind of insane about my house. I wanted another light over there. I wanted a couple of things changed here. I wanted symmetry. Darrin rolled with it and was totally professional and accepting and happily made my changes, so in the end we were happy as could be. > Then about a month after the project was done, one of the lights got dim. Turns out it might’ve been a faulty fixture. Nothing anyone could’ve planned for. But I e-mailed Darrin and he had his crew come out and swap it. 10 minute job. I watched them do it. > The installation guys are great too. They worked with me, listened to my suggestions and requests and made everything perfect. Not to mention, the fact that they’re super incredibly skilled at doing what they do. I sure don’t know how to climb up a tree and install down-lighting. But they do, and that’s impressive. > Thanks for a beautiful job! **Comment from Landscape Illumination, Inc.:** > Thank you so much for your incredible review! We're thrilled that your visitors can now enjoy your beautifully lit driveway and yard. It was a joy bringing your vision to life, and we're so glad you loved the results! > > We're more than happy to make those tweaks, and we're ecstatic that you're thrilled with the outcome. Thanks again for trusting us with your home’s transformation! If you need anything else, we’re here for you! **★★★★★ — HU-670587, March 2018** > The design and end product exceeded my expectations. And now with the installation of Christmas lights, makes others stop and look at their artwork! > > Continued success. **Comment from Landscape Illumination, Inc.:** > Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re thrilled that the design exceeded your expectations and that your Christmas lights are turning heads. Here's to many more beautiful installations! If you ever need anything, we’re just a call away \>\> 219-465-7200 **★★★★★ — Danuta Gawenda, May 2017** > Top quality work for a fair price and incredibly quick response time! I never imagined I would find a company that worked so quickly while maintaining professionalism and quality. I recommend them to everyone. They are fantastic at following through and actually back up their guarantee on the products and work. I had an issue with one light that was installed and they were very quick to come back out and fix it with no charge. Really good work! **Comment from Landscape Illumination, Inc.:** > Thank you so much for your awesome review! We're thrilled to hear that you were impressed with our speed, professionalism, and quality. It’s our goal to deliver top-notch service and stand by our work, so we're glad we could resolve your issue quickly. Thanks for recommending us—we truly appreciate it! **★★★★★ — sherry\_bucher19, May 2017** > Fantastic to work with. Experts in their field. Very responsive and on time. Beautiful job. Couldn't be happier with the customer care and attention to detail. **★★★★★ — mzimmer18, April 2017** > The whole process from initial bid to the installation was very professional and informative. Darrin has an extensive list of clients and the projects gave us a good idea of what we looking for in our project. Along with suggestions from darrin we ended up with a plan for uploghting on the front of our house and pathway lights for the side of our house. We decided on accent lifts for maple trees that separate our house from the road. The morning after the installation, people commented on the new lights and how interesting they look. The trees do not have leaves yet and the lights push up past 40' of illumination. We are interested to see what it will look like in the summer with leaves on the trees. > As for the installation crew, I can't praise them enough. First, it rained the whole day of the project and they completed the job in less than half a day. It looks as if they were never there. The cabling was put under the landscape rocks and hidden completely. Even the buried cable in the lawn is hard to detect. With all the rain, there should be no reason to water the lawn since the ten hung machine only makes a small line in the grass. The installation team left the job site exactly as it was before the LED lights were installed. On the first night, we took a family field trip to the end of the driveway to look at the house and trees lit up with the LED lights. We already have ideas to include more lighting. **★★★★★ — HU-973531, Aug. 2016** > I was referred to Landscape Illumination by a friend who used them as well. I found Darrin and his crew of installers to be extremely professional, responsive and reasonable in their pricing. Even when changes and additions were requested, Darrin was very flexible and their work was top notch. I would recommend these guys to anyone. I love how our new home looks and have received several compliments from our neighbors. **★★★★★ — Beth Hitt, May 2016** > My husband and I are extremely pleased with the entire process from consultation/estimate to completion. Our house looks amazing with the new lighting, and we feel more comfortable with everything lit up. The monthly electrical cost is also very small. We would highly recommend Landscape Illuminations. Darrin and his staff are amazing to work with. **★★★★★ — Steve Boyack, May 2016** > I found the bid to be competitive and transparent and the workmanship and materials were excellent. I would highly recommend Landscape Illumination, and actually have to several of my neighbors. **★★★★★ — jeffg3140, May 2016** > they did a very nice job on my outdoor lighting needs. Very accommodation and willing to meet at night! i would highly recommend **★★★★★ — John Lynam, May 2016** > Was looking for landscape lighting, and really had no idea where to begin. Initial presentation through completion, I was not only pleased but impressed with the professionalism and service. House looks more amazing than I could have imagined and would recommend without reservation. > > Guided me through options, made multiple trips to ensure we were satisfied, and just above and beyond in every aspect of their performance. > > Looking forward to having my Christmas lights done as well. > > Great job! **★★★★★ — andreao77, March 2016** > Landscape Illumination provided us with a complete exterior landscape lighting display including changing the exterior coach lights and deck lighting. The finished product exceeded our expectations. After installation and inspection we added additional elements to bring our project into a total WOW effect. Landscape Illumination was professional, knowledgeable, prompt and courteous. We will definitely utilize their services in the future. ## Selected projects - [Holiday Lighting](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/holiday-lighting-pj-vj~1622403) - Location: Valparaiso, IN - Photos: 25 - [Commercial Holiday Lighting](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/commercial-holiday-lighting-pj-vj~2937188) - Location: Valparaiso, IN - Photos: 9 - [Home Accent Lighting](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/home-accent-lighting-pj-vj~1622391) - Location: Valparaiso, IN - Photos: 34 - [Pool Lighting](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/pool-lighting-pj-vj~1622393) - Location: Valparaiso, IN - Photos: 7 - [Deck and Patio Lighting](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/deck-and-patio-lighting-pj-vj~1622387) - Location: Valparaiso, IN - Photos: 8 - [Path Lighting](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/path-lighting-pj-vj~1622376) - Location: Valparaiso, IN - Photos: 10 - [Pond and Water Feature Lighting](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/pond-and-water-feature-lighting-pj-vj~1622397) - Location: Valparaiso, IN - Photos: 11 - [Statue and Garden Art Lighting](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/statue-and-garden-art-lighting-pj-vj~1787867) - Location: Valparaiso, IN - Photos: 5 - [RGB LED Tape Lighting](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/rgb-led-tape-lighting-pj-vj~2236840) - Location: Valparaiso, IN - Photos: 8 - [Commercial Lighting](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/commercial-lighting-pj-vj~2432328) - Location: Valparaiso, IN - Photos: 8 [See all 10 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/lighting-showrooms-and-sales/landscape-illumination-inc-pfvwus-pf~1385096518) ## Community Q&A **Q: Is this solar powered lighting?** *(in Photo Questions)* Is this solar powered lighting? A: Gladys Unfortunately the lighting we use is not solar, it is low voltage led. The solar products do not give us enough output or beam spreads to handle the lighting effects we are trying to create. Thank you for you question.
