Outdoor Illumination

When my wife and I decided to build our home at the beach we had one requirement with our project: use only the best of the best of contractors and suppliers. During our landscaping and night lighting selections, George Hartner and his company Outdoor Illumination made that selection a no-brainer for us, let George do our lighting! It was an easy decision and George and his firm have been there to help us with any needs we have had, which were few since we moved in three years ago. I hired George’s firm to do another job for us and never met him on the job site. I just gave him a budget and forgot about it. George and his company were a pleasure to work with and we love our night lighting.

Had landscaping lighting done by Outdoor Illumination. Colby came out and gave me great suggestions on the best places to place the lights. He was quick to give me the estimate and the install. My lighting turned out beautiful! I actually called him because I wanted a few more light for the back. The day he came over to talk about the extra lights I had a broken water main pipe and he helped me so much. He took me down the street to where the water dept was working, explained to them what was going on and stayed there while the water dept was shutting off my water to stop the flooding. He went above and beyond the call of duty! I would highly recommend this company for your lighting needs.

Great lighting is the ‘icing on the cake’ for a beautiful landscape. Never mind that great lighting also has safety as a bonus—it provides a warm, welcoming feel. Four years later I still appreciate what Outdoor Illumination has created and I consider the night lighting one of things I enjoy most about my home.

Thank you so much for the accent lighting in our backyard. We enjoy evenings sitting on the deck and watching the shadows come out. You did a wonderful job and we appreciate the beautiful setting we will enjoy for years to come.

It was a beautiful evening to walk up and view the new lighting. Later, I saw a text from a neighbor a block away saying they were waiting for my beautiful landscape lights to turn on! I think you have enhanced the whole neighborhood!

There are outdoor lighting companies and then there is Outdoor Illumination! George and team are artists that perfect their craft, and that is what they have done for us. There is no one else we would rather work with, the professionalism, attention to detail and true customer service is what sets them apart. We are proud Outdoor Illumination supporters and look forward to continuing working together!

I can’t tell you just how much the whole family is enjoying our new lighted home and yard. It is all so beautiful and the lighting gives us an added sense of security as well. I also want to make sure you know how much I appreciate the professionalism of your installation team. They especially impressed me on the care they took working around all my plants and gardens. They left no evidence behind, could not even tell they were ever there. It was as if the lights just appeared! Please extended my thanks and appreciation to the whole team! What a pleasure it was working with you again!

I remember the first time I worked with them. George and Jane brought a new level of outdoor lighting to Wilmington. I’m glad they chose Wilmington to be their home. Their contributions are numerous and varied.

George Hartner is by far the most creative, most professional and most pleasant sub contractor I have ever worked with. His attention to detail and warranty service work is absolutely exceptional. I am the proud owner of Landscapes Unique which is about to celebrate its 25th anniversary and in all those years we have worked with many night lighting contractors who were OK on a good day but George outshines them all day & night!!

We did a considerable amount of looking at companies, including landscape companies that we respected and in the end, there was really only one choice. Outdoor Illumination is heads and tails above anyone, not just in Wilmington, but also in the Southeastern NC area. Particularly after working with George, we were thankful that we did not go with anyone else. He simply knows what he is doing, never tries to oversell or even upsell. He listens carefully to what a client wants to accomplish and then sets about creating the best options to make it happen. He will provide good, better, and best scenarios based upon budget. We found that Outdoor Illumination deals in high quality products, but not over-the-top expensive unless you specifically request it. And finally, the company is as professional as it gets: they meet the schedule, are precise with their work and bend over backwards with good service afterward. That’s what I know about Outdoor Illumination and George Hartner.
