 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I couldn't recommend these guys more highly. Charles was on time every time, he offered great suggestions for the backyard lighting, laid out a plan and put it all together in a very quick amount of time. He then came back in the evening to make sure the light was performing the way we had hoped.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. NightOak did a FANTASTIC job coming out and assessing the problem and then fixing the problem!!! Our landscape lighting was not coming on and Charles (the owner) was not only able to fix the problem, but he improved the system by fixing oversights of the company who had originally installed the lighting. Our outdoor lights runs much more efficiently now, plus he walked me through the problem and was reasonable priced! I wish he could fix all household issues - he was great!!!!!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Thank you Charles and NightOak for doing an excellent job installing landscape lights in my yard. My yard looks amazing! Charles explained the entire project in detail from start to finish. He is extremely easy to work with and he made the entire experience very enjoyable. He came on time and finished up on time. They had to bury the wires underground and I can’t tell where they removed grass to bury them. Amazing experience! I highly recommend Charles and NightOak if you’re considering adding or installing new landscape lights.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I can’t recommend Charles and his team enough! They installed a discreet transformer to power our low-voltage pathway lights, and the entire experience was outstanding from start to finish. Charles took the time to walk us through multiple lighting options that fit a variety of budgets, making sure we found the perfect solution without any pressure. He was knowledgeable, professional, and communicated clearly throughout the process. We were working under a very tight deadline, and they completed the installation on time without sacrificing quality. The finished product looks fantastic, and the transformer is installed so discreetly that it blends seamlessly into the landscape. If you’re looking for an outdoor lighting and landscaping company in Midlothian, VA, I highly recommend Charles. Excellent service, quality workmanship, and a great overall experience!
