Looking for Raleigh landscape lighting experts? Enhance the beauty of your outdoor space with professional landscape lighting. But how do you know who to trust? Here is what sets a true lighting designer apart, and what to ask before you hire.
What makes someone a Raleigh landscape lighting expert?
It takes a lighting designer to understand the many different lamps and filters. A designer also knows how to create effects that stand out. That knowledge comes from years of focused practice.
Joe Yanulevich, owner of Lite Visions, brings more than 35 years of concert and theatrical lighting experience. His career ran from regional stages to national arena tours. His work has also earned Masters of Landscape Lighting recognition. Learn more in Masters of Landscape Lighting Recognition.

Why does an original design matter?
We treat each project as an original lighting design, never a cookie-cutter installation. Your property becomes the stage set and backdrop. Our signature look is warm 2700K light, soft and low, with no glare.
What should you ask before hiring a lighting company?
If you’re considering landscape lighting, it’s important to do your research. That is especially true if a company is fairly new to the business. Here are a few good questions to ask:
- Is outdoor lighting their main focus, or an add-on to another business?
- What fixtures, wiring and connections do they use?
- Do they understand the principles of lighting design?
- Are the photos on their website from their own local projects?
Some companies add lighting to an existing business. Others buy into a franchise, which may bring good training. Either way, ask whether the website photos are from the local team. Sometimes they come from a franchise or manufacturer instead. For more on why focus matters, read Why Hire a Landscape Lighting Company That Does Only Lighting?
Why do we show only our own work?
At Lite Visions, we prefer to showcase our own work. That way, you can trust that the lighting you see on our website reflects the quality we provide. Every photo in this post is from one of our own projects.
