We enjoyed the Christmas lights put up for the holiday season. I recommend using elevated seasons for any work in regards to lighting.
We wanted to have our failing path lighting replaced after years of use so we contacted Elevated Seasons. We had a two-pronged idea of what we wanted including colored lights in our backyard. Nathan Murrell came out and took pictures and provided a set of quotes (one for the front yard; one for the backyard) that not only had the list of materials, but also copies of the pictures mocked up with where the lights would be placed. Everything in the quote was optional, and we had a great discussion about what we liked, didn't like, and how we wished to proceed. We agreed on a design and the team from Elevated came out and did an amazing job installing all these new lights. We did run into an issue with programming the colored lights in the backyard, but once I let Nathan know, he came out and worked with us until every aspect of the lighting system was working to perfection (turned out we had a bad gateway). Simultaneously, we were adding additional plants to our backyard and needed to update the irrigation system. I spoke with Elevated Seasons and they also installed a new drip irrigation system in both the front and back yards.
I really can't say enough good things about our experience with Elevated Seasons. Everyone we came in contact with, from Nathan and Joe, to Raul and his entire installation crew, were professional, considerate, thoughtful, and friendly. They answered every question and explained how everything worked in great detail. I have never had such a positive experience with a company doing work on my home as we have with the team from Elevated Seasons. I highly recommend them if you are thinking about updating your irrigation system or adding a lighting plan to your home.

Nathan and his entire staff were great to work with. Most importantly, the job looks great! We had last done landscape lighting in our yard around 15 or 20 years ago and the fixtures were old and many no longer worked.
Nathan got rid of all the old fixtures and installed LED's throughout the yard, all connected to an app, so that in addition to being able to set on and off times, you can also control it manually from your phone.
Dealing with them was a pleasure because there were no surprises - no ups and extras because it took longer to finish or because of having to remove old wiring.
I recommend Nathan and his firm very highly. It's not so easy anymore to find good entrepreneurial companies where the owner and staff really care about doing things right!
Response from the owner · a year ago
Thank you so much for your kind words and for taking the time to share your experience. It was a true pleasure working with you and updating your landscape lighting after so many years. We’re so glad you’re enjoying the new LED system and the convenience of being able to control everything right from your phone.
We take pride in making projects seamless with no surprises, and your appreciation means a lot to our entire team. Your recommendation is greatly valued, and we’re grateful for the opportunity to earn your trust.
On behalf of myself and the whole Elevated Seasons team, thank you again.

Nathan and his crew absolutely knocked it out of the park for us. It’s rare to find someone like Nathan—he has an incredible eye and vision for what a property can become, and he delivers on that from the very first consultation through installation and follow-up. I wish I could give them 100 stars!
Good, honest people with character are hard to find in Los Angeles, but if you’re looking for landscape lighting, look no further—you’ve found it.
Response from the owner · a year ago
JR,
Thank you so much for the incredible review!
It truly means the world to me and the crew that you felt our vision, care, and follow-through from the first consultation to the finished installation. I’ll be sure to share this with the team—they’ll be pumped!
We’re so grateful for your trust and the “100 stars”!
