Charles and crew have been incredibly creative, responsive, and dependable. Their quality of work is second to none. Charles has a real eye for landscape and lighting design. He seamlessly coordinated with my project manager to blend pool-enhancing lighting, new housing build, and existing landscape lighting system into a beautiful product. Charles went above and beyond and even worked evenings and weekends to ensure my project was completed efficiently, safely, and achieved our desired result.
NightOak did an amazing job redesigning our exterior lighting. Charles is super-responsive and detail oriented… exactly what we were looking for in a contractor. He installed 24 lights complete with new wiring and controller. My wife is already planning what to add next, so Charles will be hearing from us again soon! Great experience. Highest recommendation.
Night Oak did an excellent job of redoing our outdoor lighting system. For the past 5 years our lights would trip up and shut off after every storm. Turning the system back on meant having to fight your way through big bushes to hit the trip button. Not only did he move/ upgrade the junction box/transformer to a much more convenient place inside our garage he also added more lights throughout for a much better ambient lighting system. Our house looks so much better now at nighttime. It’s transformed from a dark ghostly house to a beauty!
Charles, the owner is very professional and knows what he is doing. Highly recommend this business!
Charles did a great job with our outdoor lighting. He takes the time to make sure everything is done right and will go above and beyond to come back out when needed after the fact as well. Highly recommend!
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.
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 run much more efficiently now, plus he walked me through the problem and was reasonably priced! I wish he could fix all household issues - he was great!!!!!
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.
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!
Replacement lights installed by NightOak are wonderful! Very easy to make adjustments to each fixture. Dramatic improvement to the exterior appearance of my home. Friendly, punctual, and on-budget. Very happy with my decision!
It was an absolute pleasure to work with NightOak. The team was very flexible and understanding to the needs of my event. If I had to pursue another big event I would definitely go with them again and again.
Thank you to Charles and Nightoak for doing an amazing job with my lights. Charles was responsive, on time and communicated frequently, keeping me up to date on everything. I had a lighting problem that he was able to troubleshoot and fix (previous job not done by Nightoak). The whole experience was smooth and painless and I will definitely use them for any future lighting projects.
From beginning to end Charles and his night owl crew were extremely professional and available for any questions we had. We would highly recommend Charles and his team to achieve any and all lighting goals you may have. Charles is truly a visionary and professional who we heartily recommend.
No coercion needed to leave a review. Six stars. Charles did an excellent job from planning, communication and implementation. The final result is outstanding. We are extremely pleased with their work as well as the quality of their product. Highly recommend them if you are considering improving your outdoor space.
Charles was fantastic!!! He explained his product and procedures, answered all of my questions, encouraged me to look around. He was even patient with me when I challenged him on shadows. Then we shared a laugh as he proved me wrong when he was finished. Our house lighting is beautiful, no shadows and makes my wife very happy. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for outdoor uplighting and would definitely use him again.
Courteous and competent, Charles responded to my need for outdoor lighting repair with minimum response time. I highly recommend his company for all your outdoor lighting needs.
We wanted some lighting in our back yard and gave Charles a call. After meeting with him we asked him to design what he thought would be best. It's absolutely perfect and we're so pleased with how it looks and how easy Charles made the process. He was great about staying in touch with us and his attention to detail is exceptional. If you are thinking about having outdoor lighting done, I highly recommend Charles and his company.
I've engaged quite a few contractors to fix/upgrade my newly-purchased home, and NightOak comes in at number one. Charles was transparent and hyper-responsive throughout the process, proactively providing updates on the project and even working around delays on my end. Charles also went above and beyond in an attempt to fix an issue not covered in the original estimate. The lighting looks great, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend NightOak for your next lighting project!
Charles and his team at NightOak Outdoor Lighting did an outstanding job installing outdoor lighting on our brick house. We knew nothing about lighting design, but Charles provided excellent recommendations and happily answered all our questions. Despite the complicated logistics (drilling discreet holes and running wiring through a crawl space), the final result is extremely professional. My wife and I both love the final result and we enthusiastically recommend Charles and NightOak!
We had a fantastic experience with NightOak Outdoor Lighting. Charles was always on time, super knowledgeable, and very detail-oriented. The lights turned out beautifully and our home looks amazing! Highly recommend!
Charles was very easy to work with. He did excellent work troubleshooting and repairing our yard lights. He explained everything he was doing as he went along. The cost was very fair for the materials and time he spent doing the work. I highly recommend NightOak Outdoor Lighting.
Charles was prompt, responsive, and easy to work with. The lighting design perfectly matched our vision and gave our home a more elevated, polished feel
Working with NightOak has been such a great experience. From start to finish, clear communication, and a real commitment to customer satisfaction. They run their business with honesty and integrity, making the whole process smooth and stress-free. It’s rare to find a company that values both quality and the people they serve the way they do. Highly recommend them!
Charles and his team were outstanding to work with and I would not hesitate to recommend them or use them again in the future. He took the time to thoroughly go over different options for my backyard lighting project, beyond what I originally had in mind. The quality of the fixtures they use for the installation is far beyond anything you can buy over the counter at the big box stores. We've already discussed a couple add-on lighting options in the future and look forward to working with them again.
Wanting something for your home, in this case outdoor lighting, and knowing how stressful it can be makes it hard to commit. It is a home improvement that you do see a lot of. My wife researched businesses that provided this service and as usual it was overwhelming! When we had the opportunity to speak with Charles from Nightoak Outdoor Lighting, that stress we were feeling lightened. Charles is the owner and designer for his company and it was obvious right from the beginning that he knew what he was talking about. He detailed the entire process from A to Z. Charles answered our concerns and ensured before departure that we had what we needed to make our decision. It was obvious who we were going with. Charles and his Team arrived to complete the project and from day one were professional in their communication and treatment of our property. I say property because as we all know, Contractors do the work and leave your property like a war zone! Charles and his Team cleaned up and left our home the way it was when they arrived. In selecting Nightoak we received the attention to detail, 100% customer service, and the professionalism we were looking for! Thanks again Charles for the outstanding work!!
Wow! We had Charles come to do some repair on the yard light setup we inherited from the previous owner. While we kept the same lights (some needed repair which he took care of easily), we decided to upgrade the boxes and get some messy wiring cleaned up. It’s so much better now!
Charles is a creative problem solver and really interested in helping his clients. He’s definitely a people person and is super willing to help you understand your situation and possible solutions. He also did amazing cleanup afterwards which was icing on the cake. We recommend NightOak whole-heartedly.
I just had my outdoor lighting done by NightOak Outdoor Lighting, and I normally don’t write reviews (even though I read plenty of them). I’m making an exception because I am so impressed with the work they did—my yard is now an absolute dream.
A few years ago, I had some outdoor lighting installed by another large, well-known company. They did a fine job, but it was nothing that made me want to write a review. This time, with the economy the way it is, I wanted to support a small, family-owned local business. I hadn’t heard of NightOak before, but when Charles came out to give us an estimate, I was immediately impressed by his professionalism, creativity, and thoughtful ideas.
The estimate was reasonable, so I decided to move forward—and I’m so glad I did. Charles came out multiple times to run wires, adjust fixtures, and even add more lights, making sure every detail was perfect. He treated my yard like it was his own, and the results are stunning.
I didn’t know Charles or his company before this, but I’m writing this review because I want others to receive the same quality service I did. My yard truly looks amazing, and the pictures my son took don’t even do it justice.
If you are looking for someone to design and install outdoor lighting, I would only call Charles at NightOak. He is professional, creative, and genuinely cares about the finished product.
We’ve been incredibly impressed with NightOak Outdoor Lighting and the professionalism of Charles. From our first interaction, it was clear that this is a company that truly takes pride in their work and values their clients. Charles is knowledgeable, responsive, and clearly passionate about what he does. The attention to detail and care he brings to each project really stands out. Highly recommend working with NightOak if you’re looking for quality, creativity, and a team you can trust.
The staff at NightOak were responsive and flexible. When the owner came to give me an estimate, he had some recommendations that other companies did not have. He clearly knew his business. Also, I was having my deck stained and the railings painted and I wanted to have that finished before the lights were installed. Charles was able to accommodate my schedule which was made more uncertain with the recent storms. Finally, I felt that the price was reasonable.
Charles did a wonderful job installing our outdoor landscape lighting. The lighting was designed for purposeful lighting to keep cost low while giving the effect we wanted. One of our favorite design aspects was how he played the lighting off the trees and landscaping. Recommend him to anyone for the multiple ways he can enhance your outdoor living space.
Charles did an awesome job from the initial meeting through the installation and follow up. He was very flexible to meet with us at times convenient for us, and he made suggestions to right size the project, not to just sell more lights. He made sure he understood what we wanted by asking questions, and continually asked for feedback to make sure we were satisfied. I enjoyed working with him so much that I signed up for his maintenance plan so he can keep the system working like it should. If we decide to expand, we will be calling Charles back.
Charles and his Night Oak team are simply the best. Not only are their attention to detail and knowledge of outdoor lighting and audio top notch, they truly care about their work, and take pride in everything they do. I wish all service providers could even approach this level of service, touch, and follow through like this team. If you have outdoor lighting or audio needs, I would certainly consider Night Oak, and if you have any reservations about using them, I would quickly set them aside as you can be assured you will get high quality, fair price, great service and an exceptionally organized team.
Charles is incredibly professional, punctual, and a great communicator. He was always on time and met deadlines. The lighting exceeded our expectations.
Replaced and installed new a total of 33 lights for our home, driveway and highlighting some of the trees. Could not be more satisfied and the owner Charles Belle oversaw every step of the project
Charles and NightOak were fantastic to work with from start to finish. Scheduling a consultation was quick and easy with an online calendar of availability and he was quick to respond with a follow up for an in person design meeting at our home.
Despite our simple design needs relative to more elaborate work he has completed he never made us feel like our project was any less significant. He took time in explaining the details of the high end fixtures he uses and communicated his plan throughout in great detail. We will certainly be working with him again to build on the foundation we installed in the future.
Charles Belle is top notch and truly passionate about NightOak. He’s organized, professional, and great to work with. You can tell he genuinely cares about his work and the people he does business with. If you're looking for someone who is dedicated, reliable, and truly cares about delivering quality service, I highly recommend working with him!
NightOak is a wonderful company to work with if you are looking to install outdoor landscape/foundation lighting. Charles was very thorough in reviewing each step with us prior to installation. He also came at night for a preview of what the lights would look like on once installed. He and his team did an excellent job! We are thrilled with how beautiful the lighting turned out!
We had a great experience with NightOak. Charles worked hard to make sure that everything got done just in time for the holidays and our house looks so much better now. NightOak has our highest recommendation.
My wife and I got bids from four 5-Star landscape lighting businesses from the Richmond area. Baylites Outdoor Lighting, Outdoor Lighting Perspectives and Virginia Outdoor Lighting. Estimates were very comparable from a cost perspective. What really set NightOak Outdoor Lighting apart from these competitors was their product. Charles brought lighting fixtures for us to see, hold and then explained why his product was superior to those offered by the other companies. Once we held the product which was very solidly built, we were sold on NightOak lighting. Additionally there is a 10 year warranty on the lighting fixtures. What is impressive about the fixtures is they have three separate components within the light so if the light were to go bad, you just replace the bad component instead of the entire light, that was not the case with the other companies light fixtures. Charles was extremely friendly, knowledgeable and you can tell by the service he provides he is a family man and its a family owned business. Our neighbors reached out to comment on how beautiful our house looked once the job was complete. Everything from start to finish was first class. Charles has followed up with us several times to make sure we are satisfied with the final product. I can't speak more highly of Charles and NightOak Lighting and would certainly recommend them for any lighting upgrades or new applications.
Charles came in and got it done! From first call to last handshake, Night Oak went the extra mile to make sure the lighting was perfect. It’s not every day you get to work with a true professional in their craft.
I was very happy with the lighting project with Charles. He was very attentive and precise with his work and even came out at night to do a demonstration of what the lighting would look like when installed. He worked very diligently to assure that the project achieved our objectives.
My only regret is that I did not know about this company and their fine quality of service.
Impeccable assessment of how to “fix” two previous outdoor lighting companies’ EXPENSIVE shoddy workmanship. This owner takes pride in his work. He IS AN HONEST MAN, In my dealings with him, and delivers a PLETHORA of design ideas for the future that will fit into PHASE II of my budget. It was a REAL PLEASURE working with him and I cannot wait to call him back! This was a PLEASANT, stress free experience, and I am most appreciative for him, his ideas and suggestions, and for his flexibility. If you want an EXPERT who can deliver your lighting project WHEN THEY SAY THEY CAN COMPLETE IT, and if you want someone who is kind, patient, flexible, respectful, and who was just a joy to work with, then this is the company for you.
Thank you for giving me the opportunity to share my experience. As a result of this interaction, my home was restored to its BEAUTIFUL ambient lighting with a few additional features, exposed wires were buried (should have been done right in the first place), and now I have my motion activated lights working again!
The difference with Night Oak is their knowledge and their dedication to excellence!
Our family has been customers of Night Oak for over 2 years now and we keep going back and utilizing their services because of the excellent work that they do each and every time. Charles goes out of his way to ensure a job well done and he will settle for nothing less. The pricing is competitive, while the outcome is unbeatable.
Take it from a happy customer and a big fan of Night Oak, avoid the big companies and use Night Oak, the quality is unbeatable, while you can enjoy a personable tailored approach to your lighting needs.
Best pricing, best lighting! We have been so happy with the work done to our home. Can’t thank you enough Night oak. Completely transformed the look of our home.
Charles and his team are incredible! From the moment we called, he was so kind, responsive, thorough. He truly brought our vision to reality for our landscape lighting. He is a true creative and thought of so many things to do that we never would have on our own. I cannot recommend his company enough! You will be so glad you worked with them.
The experience working with NightOak on our lighting project was exceptional. We had a fair amount of lighting to begin with and wanted to finish off the thought / project. Charles took his time to discuss my vision, brought in sample lighting and we worked together to get it perfect.
The install was thorough and careful. My yard was not disturbed at all! All the materials used were of the highest quality and were installed with care so that I don’t destroy them while working in the yard! NightOak even found shoddy connections from a previous vendor and made sure to repair them without disparaging them!
Choosing to work with NightOak was an awesome experience for me. When we have had lighting done in years past, I was just told what would be done. Doing the demo made sure that I was on board with the solutions offered and gave us the flexibility to try some things I had not considered.
Thanks NightOak, Charles and the crew. Could be more satisfied!
The company did a great job on our recent lighting installation. Very knowledgeable about product and placement of lights providing us many options. We like the fact the company is locally owned and uses American made materials. Very pleased with the final result.
This business is very professional and reliable. This business communicates well throughout the project and is very detail oriented to ensure the best quality of outdoor lighting. The lighting makes the outside of the house a beautiful atmosphere.
Thank you so much for all of your ideas and help with our project! It can be so hard to know who to trust with home projects, and we really appreciate your honesty and integrity! Thank you!!
These guys are amazing! They were super knowledgeable and showed up when they said they would and delivered a top notch installation. The lighting products that they carry are superior to all other products. I would highly recommend Night Oak Outdoor Lighting for your home or event.
I can't say enough good things about Charles! Although I haven't had the chance to utilize his services personally due to living out of the area, I've seen firsthand how dedicated and hardworking he is in everything he does.
His commitment to excellence is evident in the countless projects he has taken on, always going above and beyond for his clients. It's clear that he genuinely cares about delivering top-notch results and ensuring that everyone is satisfied with his work. Friends and family who have used his services rave about the professionalism, attention to detail, and creativity he brings to the table.
What I admire most is his unwavering passion for his craft. He puts in the extra effort to stay updated on the latest trends and techniques, ensuring that he always provides the best solutions for his clients. I have no doubt that anyone who chooses to work with him will be more than happy with the results.
If you're looking for someone who is not only talented but also truly committed to his work, I wholeheartedly recommend Charles. I wish I could take advantage of his services myself, but I’m cheering him on from afar! Keep up the amazing work, my friend! You deserve every bit of success that comes your way!
I would highly recommend Charles and Jennine for any outdoor light all of the projects look amazing! Hope to have some done at my house in the near future.
I have used NightOak for several projects both large and small. Great company to work with, decent pricing, and always leave a Great job! Highly recommended, hands down!
We recently had the pleasure of working with NightOak Outdoor Lighting for an event, and we couldn't be more impressed with their expertise and service. NightOak was professional, attentive, and truly understood our vision for the evening.
Their team expertly designed lighting that completely transformed our outdoor space and created a warm and inviting atmosphere, perfectly setting the mood for our event. We are so grateful!
NightOak is owned by one of the most detail oriented people I know. Charles provides excellent customer service and he is a perfectionist. Reach out for an estimate today and know that he will provide a smooth and professional experience.
Highly recommend using NightOak Lighting for any event! We had them install some lights for one of our dinners at the church and it was stunning! They were super easy to work with, kind, and efficient. Would hire them again!
I have personally seen the expertise of this company and I can’t recommend enough! This will be my next outdoor purchase for my homestead in Powhatan!
