Graham and his team at Southern Lightscapes did a super job, going far beyond the minimum necessary to assure we had beautiful and functional landscape lighting. We couldn’t be more pleased.

I researched lighting specialist when making a decision to illuminate our house and landscaping. Southern Lightscapes assessed our needs and addressed all the areas with a plan and the cost. Their price was competitive and a lifetime warranty on lights. Highly recommend Southern Lightscapes. Chris Black

Mr. Comstock, Thank you for the review and the feedback. I will give you a call tomorrow, but we sent out notification of the change in the service call charge due to a number of reasons. We changed it about 2 years ago, but for existing customers we can do a one time rate at the old fee. Again, I will call you tomorrow. Thank you

I had a lights out problem and the crew was there within 48 hours, figured out the issue and fixed the problem before they left. This included a run to get a proper fuse. Could not be more delighted!

We are very pleased with the personalized attention we have received from Southern Lightscapes. We’ve wanted to add outdoor lighting to the front of our house for several years. We chose Southern Lightscapes because several of our neighbors have used them and been very pleased. Graham and his team have been great to work with. They have wonderful design ideas, and they make it easy for you to choose the type of lighting that is just right for your house. We are very pleased with the results, and I would recommend them to anyone. The new lighting completely transformed the outside of our house.

Leslie... We are so glad you all are pleased with the work! We always try to treat every home with the personal attention we would give to our house.
