“When you are working with Outdoor Lighting Expressions you know you are working with outstanding professionals who do what they say they’re going to do.

“I can honestly say that, quality of the product not withstanding, the main reason I choose Outdoor Lighting Expressions for my professional lighting solutions is one person, Clay Johnston. When I introduce him to a client or an architect, I know he will step up to the plate and deliver. When he studies the plans and understands the design concepts, he wastes no time in developing a lighting concept that makes the design come to life. He is also very flexible and listens to my design criteria. The products are always of the best quality. But beyond that, Clay is a man with integrity. He stands behind everything he does and he always treats my clients with the utmost respect.”
“I would be hard pressed to find someone to replace you”.
Buddy Spencer, CB Spencer & Associates Landscape Architects
“As a residential architect I work very closely with the landscape architects that work on my projects and realize how important integrating exterior lighting is to the design. I have worked with Outdoor Lighting Expressions on several projects including my personal residence. They are very skilled at selecting the right lighting products and fixtures and will demonstrate how they will look before installation. I am very impressed with their knowledge of lighting and controls and methods of installation. They did an incredible job on my personal residence and I recommend them whenever I can!”

“In the contracting world, it’s not easy to find a company that goes beyond your expectations. Outdoor Lighting Expressions is this type of company. I know this because I have worked with them on many projects.
Although I am involved in my clients’ lighting designs, OLE’s additional creativity and knowledge is always a great help. Their input adds to the success of many projects, not to mention awards that they have won. As a professional I strongly recommend them for their expertise, professionalism and creativity”.

“I enjoy working with Outdoor Lighting Expressions because they take care of my clients. My clients appreciate the light demonstrations. Because they are willing to take the time to set up a light demonstration at their home, my clients are more informed and understand exactly what to expect from their landscape lights. The installation of the lights meets their expectations and there are no surprises. I really enjoy working with Outdoor Lighting Expressions because of their attention to detail during the installation of the lights. They make sure that all wires are hidden and that no plants are damaged. Service calls after the installation have been prompt and thorough. If my clients are happy, I am happy. And, they make my work look great at night.”

“We are very pleased with the new lighting that was installed recently. After ten years our system was ready for an upgrade. We liked the advantages that the newer LED lighting provided over the existing halogen lights, but we were concerned that the new LED lights might look dramatically different from what we were used to. We are very pleased that the lighting system has the look and feel of the original system that you installed. Our home looks better than ever and we have the added energy saving benefits that the LED system provides as well as the new sleeker design of the fixtures. Thank you for working with us on the project.”
Lee and Susan S.
Thank you Clay,
Love the photos. You have a great company and product and we became friends with your installers, Fred and Sam.
Our new outdoor lighting adds a level of serenity that was not there before, or maybe it is the visual aspect of it that makes your senses more aware of it.
Thanks,
Mike
I wanted to thank you for the fine work. As you promised your install guys are great and we had fun talking to them last night. They think very highly of you and are perfectionists on installations.

Hey Clay,
Bill and I wanted to let you know that the landscape lighting exceeded our expectations! We are very pleased with the new look of the front yard lighting. The guys who did the installation were excellent and so professional. Thanks for doing such a great job!
Sincerely,
Carol H.
Hi Clay,
I wanted to reach out to thank you for the beautiful lighting work you did for Paul and me at our lake property in the late summer. I never expressed to you how happy we were/are with the work. The lighting made a mind-blowing difference with path visibility, and the aesthetic improvements with the up-lighting on the trees was better than we hoped for.
