Mark and his staff are very professional and provide excellent work. Mark met with me on site the day of the job to go over every detail of the job and answer any questions I had. Artistic Illumination went above and beyond, they exceeded our expectation and I would high recommend Artistic Illumination to everyone. **★★★★★ — Lisa Betz, June 2018** > My husband and I were looking for a lighting contractor to assist in designing and installing landscape lighting at our home. We were a little overwhelmed trying to figure out where to start. We decided to request a list of recommended professionals from Houzz. We were immediately emailed 5 companies to check out. Mark from Artistic Illumination was one of the companies. Mark responded to our request the same day and set up an appointment to come to our home. When Mark arrived he was very friendly and informative. We were happy that he made suggestions for the light placement, thus taking the guess work out of it for us. We we impressed that he was able to give us a quote on the spot and we did not have to wait. That evening my husband and I discussed everything and called Mark the following day with the okay to get started. He set up an appointment for his installers to come out the following Wednesday. His crew showed up on time and worked quickly. They were able to install the lights that day. That evening at dusk Mark came by and we looked at the lights together. Everything looked great! At that time, my husband, Mark and myself collaborated and decided that we should add some additional lights in a few spots. Mark also suggested adding dimmers and timers so that everything was automatic! We thought that was a fabulous idea! The next day Mark's crew was back at our home diligently adding the extra lights and installing the timers. Even with the additions, Mark was able to stay close to our budget. Not only were we impressed with his knowledge, but the quality of his products. We were happy with the phenomenal job they did. It was less then one week from our first meeting to the final completion. We would highly recommend Artistic Illumination to anyone that is interested in transforming their home into a warm, inviting and secure environment. **★★★★★ — Quincy Hammond Landscape Architect, May 2018** > I have worked with Mark and his team on several projects in the Hamptons. His brilliant vision changed my opinion of landscape lighting. They are a delight to work with--dedicated, fast, precise, accommodating. Artistic Illumination is the best in the business; I would work with them on every project if I could. **★★★★★ — Nancy Muelheim, April 2018** > We were very pleased with the job Artistic Illumination did. They maintained great communication with us, explaining precisely what could be done. Their professional installers worked hard to install our job in a minimal amount of time. The work was exactly as promised, and the neighbors are all requesting information on who did our job. **★★★★★ — Douglas Barry, Feb. 2018** > Our home came with landscape lighting. We were never satisfied with them because their quality was wasn't appropriate when you live by salt water. Mark helped us select brass units that were sealed where the delicate electronics are and they will last so much longer. They are very good quality and what you would want when you have an expensive home. The design he recommended was simply beautiful. The first night they were on we admired what he did again and again. I highly recommend him. His team was punctual, prompt, and cleaned up the old lights. We had a terrific experience. **★★★★★ — Jessica F, Nov. 2017** > Extremely professional and trustworthy. Did a beautiful job lighting up by backyard and getting everything on timers. I highly recommend Artistic Illumination for your exterior lighting needs! **★★★★★ — Wonnie Short, Nov. 2017** > Mark and his team were excellent. They are knowledgeable, timely and responsive. I am very happy with the suggestions and most of all the end product. After they left, there was nothing to pick up they cleaned up after themselves. A top notch company. **★★★★★ — Mary Ann Tighe Hidalgo, Oct. 2017** > Mark and his team made our 4 acre property in the Hamptons a magical night time experience. His lighting is not only functional, facilitating wayfinding, but also aesthetically extraordinary. The moon is always full over our home, thanks to Mark. **★★★★★ — sean michaels, Sept. 2016** > best lighting vendor we've ever worked with. Their design concepts are very classy, their work crew showed up on time and finished multiple jobs quickly with excellent execution. Cheers to Mark & Ishmael for excellent service and reasonable pricing. **★★★★★ — Spencer Betz, Sept. 2016** > In life we often here 'You get what you pay for' .... Artistic Illumination was not the lowest price, but he was definitely worth every penny. His entire crew is budget conscience, knowledgeable and artistic. Owner Mark knows how to capitalize on every tree, plant, shrub and exterior wall on your property and how to utilize neighboring landscape to your advantage. > > I believe Mark increased the value of my property by 5 times what I paid for his incredible work! **★★★★★ — David Baker, Sept. 2016** > I have worked with Mark at Artistic Illumination for many years and would not trust another company to do my outdoor lighting. Not only are they knowledgable but quality minded and do their best work for the customer. This company i have recommended to many people and i am very picky about who i use... The boys at artistic are truly the best in outdoor lighting **★★★★★ — debcrane, June 2016** > Mark and John were excellent to deal with. I loved Mark's suggestions and am glad I took his advice! I'm looking forward to having them do another project for me. ## Selected projects - [Beverly Hills Landscape Lighting](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/beverly-hills-landscape-lighting-pj-vj~2612940) - Location: Beverly Hills, CA - Photos: 17 - Description: Hollywood Hills Landscape Lighting by Artistic Illumination http://artisticillumination.com/gallery-hollywood-hills-landscape-lighting.htm \#hollywoodhills \#landscapelighting \#landscape \#lighting \#hollywoodhillslandscapelighting - [Laguna Niguel Landscape Lighting by Artistic Illumination](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/laguna-niguel-landscape-lighting-by-artistic-illumination-pj-vj~3973977) - Location: Laguna Niguel, CA - Photos: 1 - Description: Laguna Nigel Landscape Lighting by Artistic Illumination \#lagunanigel \#landscape \#lighting \#design \#california \#outdoorlighting \#customlighting \#luxury - [Bel Air Landscape Lighting](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/bel-air-landscape-lighting-pj-vj~1140697) - Location: Los Angeles, CA - Photos: 11 - Description: Bel Air Landscape Lighting http://artisticillumination.com/gallery-bel-air-landscape-lighting-super.htm - [Carmel Valley Landscape Lighting](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/carmel-valley-landscape-lighting-pj-vj~2732207) - Location: San Diego, CA - Photos: 10 - Description: Carmel Valley Landscape Lighting http://artisticillumination.com/gallery-carmel-valley-landscape-lighting.htm \#carmelvalley \#landscape \#lighting - [LED Landscape Lighting by Artistic Illumination](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/led-landscape-lighting-by-artistic-illumination-pj-vj~3008638) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 1 - Description: LED Lighting by Artistic Illumination Turn your property into a warm, inviting and secure environment at the press of a button with Wireless Landscape Lighting Scene Control. \#landscapelighting \#ledlighting \#luxury \#outdoorliving \#california \#landscape \#lighting \#luxurylifestyle \#outdoorlighting http://artisticillumination.com/ - [Las Vegas Landscape Lighting](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/las-vegas-landscape-lighting-pj-vj~2951992) - Location: Las Vegas, NV - Photos: 5 - Description: Artistic Illumination services include LED Landscape Lighting Designs, Installations and maintenance, featuring Unique Lighting Systems and Aurora Lights fixtures.
