your own backyard resort oasis

Discover your resort oasis in your own backyard with professionally designed and installed outdoor landscape lighting by a former concert and stage lighting designer.

Joe is a local longtime Raleigh native,homeowner and former concert and stage lighting designer and has been sharing that knowledge to properties in the Raleigh,Wake Forest and North Carolina areas for the last five years.

As an actual lighting designer who has driven out of many neighborhoods in the evening hours after installing lighting and seeing many poorly designed lighting installations, Joe wants to help homeowners understand the difference in people who might just light an object with only one fixture when it might require more lights at less lumens to properly illuminate the object.

Picasso would use many brush strokes to paint a masterpiece and proper landscape illumination many times requires more than just one brush stroke up the center of a huge tree.

A lot of companies might put a fixture too close to a trees trunk or too close to a homes foundation and use a lamp that is too bright and instead of the light looking nice and soft you can see a very noticeable hot spot near where the light starts.

Call Lite Visions today to see your property at night looking like the amazing work of art you see in the daytime.

Joe is a Creative Lighting Designer, Not Just a Technician

Joe is a Creative Lighting Designer, Not Just a Technician

Joe is a Creative lighting designer, technician and an artist, which is what sets lite visions landscape lighting apart from others. We had a large wooded lot and recently remodeled our house, which meant we had to replace our lighting that was over 15 years old. Joe came out on a Saturday and discussed what we wanted and also offered suggestions. We found him to be friendly, down-to-earth, and trustworthy, so we gave him the freedom to completely redo the lighting. Joe’s “soft palette” of light fills the space and creates a picture that is calming and pleasant to the eye. He followed up two nights in a row to make sure we were pleased with the results and we are very satisfied with the outcome. Not only is Joe an artist, but he is also an incredibly nice person to work with and we highly recommend him.

 

Joe, an artist of light, has replaced our commonplace driveway path lights with downlights in trees, creating a romantic, delicate atmosphere around our residence. Now, he is formulating plans to illuminate the front entry and parking area of Phase II of our landscaping project. His work speaks to his brilliance and expertise!

Not far from our house, our driveway curves through the woods. Joe came to our place about 10 days ago and attentively heard our plans. From the start, it was clear that Joe is a talent when it comes to lighting and we put our confidence in his skill and imagination in outlining and executing a captivating lighting design.

We are elated with the outcome! Joe was devoted to our project and was a great pleasure to work with- our property has been significantly improved and we celebrated our first evening with our new lighting scheme last night.

Joe is a real professional and we are happy to have met him.

For a number of years, I have been collaborating with Joe, who has a remarkable set of skills and experience in lighting design, having started in theatrical lighting over three decades ago and then moving into the outdoor sector. When it comes to complex projects requiring a sophisticated design, Joe is the ideal candidate. He is willing to stay late in order to adjust each light, using high-quality products like Sterling Lighting to create his classical designs. If you are in need of a beautiful outdoor design, it is worth investing in Joe’s services, since you won’t be disappointed.

Joe proved to be an excellent asset to our project! His thoughtful suggestions and ideas surpassed the estimate and demo of Carolina Outdoor Lighting during the lighting demonstration. With his searching for the best lights from a variety of companies, we had more choices to choose from. For example, he had these great up/down lights which were perfect for our pergola structures, which the competition did not have. He also had RGB Bluetooth controlled spotlights to light up the forest behind our property, where the competition only had white and not controllable.

The addition of color in the forest really added life to it and was something we looked forward to using during parties and BBQs. Joe was quick, efficient and cleaned up after completion. He also added a rose filter to the Japanese Maple light to enhance the color and diffusion filters to reduce glare. We got to hear amazing stories from his concert days too! And for the same price as the competition, we got a wide variety of lights perfectly suited to the project, excellent service, and the assurance that the lights will not suddenly stop working due to a poor install.

We are beyond impressed with the work that Joe and Lite Visions did on our front yard landscape lighting! It was desperately in need of replacing and now looks absolutely fabulous. Joe is an expert in his field and offers so much more than your standard landscape lighting. The quality of the lights he uses is truly remarkable and he even gave us a demonstration to show us exactly what we were getting. His installation was flawless and professional. We can’t wait to have him work on our backyard as well! We are so thankful for Joe and his company!

Joe from Lite Visions was very professional when installing our driveway lighting, taking our preferences into account and making sure that everything was to our satisfaction. His work has been a great improvement on our 175′ long driveway, as it is now illuminated in an artistic way, bringing out the beauty of the hardwood trees. The Bluetooth app makes it very easy to set the lighting times. We highly recommend Joe for anyone’s landscape lighting needs, and we will be working on other projects with him in the future. He also removed our old lighting, which was greatly appreciated.

We are overwhelmed with the wonderful experience! Words cannot express all the positive things we have to say about Joe’s work. He was able to turn our new home construction project into a masterpiece with his impressive eye for detail, his unwavering patience, and his pleasant attitude. We are so grateful to our friends for introducing us to him and for his willingness to take the long journey to our home and give us a light show that fills us with joy every night. Thank you, Joe!

I had a wonderful experience working with Joe and I am very pleased with the outcome. His skillful use of lighting beautifully showcases our yard, while also providing extra security for us. He paid great attention to each detail. Although his work isn’t inexpensive, its remarkable quality can be seen every evening. I have no qualms about recommending his services.

We recently renovated the entire backyard, concluding with the lighting. We found Joe through an online search, and he not only listened to what we wanted, but he also showed us a demo of what it would look like before we made our final choice. When the green light was given, he completed the installation. We are elated with the results; it looks great! Joe is also friendly, reliable, responsive, and honest. He gave us exactly what we requested, and he did it quickly. We are more than happy to recommend Joe to others and would use him again if we decide to do more outdoor lighting.

Spruce up your outdoor spaces with landscape lighting

Are you looking for ways to spruce up your outdoor spaces? Have you considered landscape lighting ? Landscape lighting can take your yard from drab to fab with the right design and installation. In this blog, we’ll talk about the basics of landscape lighting design, the benefits, and some design tips and successful projects.

What is landscape lighting?

Landscape lighting is exactly what it sounds like – it’s lighting designed to highlight your outdoor spaces and provide a warm, inviting atmosphere. It is a carefully crafted art form that requires a good eye and a knack for design. Landscape lighting involves strategically positioning lights and fixtures to create an aesthetically pleasing look that highlights the best features of your outdoor spaces.

The most common type of landscape lighting is low-voltage lighting.

Low-voltage lighting is powered by a transformer that converts the electricity from your home’s power outlet into the low voltage needed for the lights.

LED lighting is also becoming increasingly popular for landscape lighting design as it is more energy-efficient and long-lasting than traditional bulbs. LED bulbs also produce less heat, making them safer for outdoor use. Led also lasts 20 times longer than halogen light sources.

Benefits of landscape lighting

There are several benefits to installing landscape lighting in your outdoor spaces. Here are just a few of them:

  • It adds beauty and charm to your outdoor spaces. The right lighting can make your yard look even more beautiful and inviting.
  • It increases safety. By strategically positioning lights in your outdoor spaces, you can make them safer and easier to navigate at night.
  • It adds value to your home. A well-lit outdoor space can be a major selling point for potential home buyers, increasing the value of your property.
  • It can be a great way to show off your landscaping. With the right lighting design, you can highlight your favorite plants and trees and create a stunning effect.

Examples of successful landscape lighting design projects

Now that you know the basics of landscape lighting design, let’s take a look at some successful projects.

  • One successful project is the lighting design at this home and back yard. The lighting was designed to highlight the beauty of the garden, while at the same time creating a safe and inviting atmosphere.
    The lights were strategically placed to draw attention to the different features of the homes beautiful architectural elements as well as the landscape plantings around the residence.Alt"good lighting design of outdoor spaces in raleigh nc"

VISION IS MORE POWERFUL THEN HISTORY

Vision is more powerful than history,In meeting with a client with a beautiful home yesterday I found this out. I receive many calls in relation to taking out old landscape lighting systems.
Potential clients only know what they have seen done when they have an old lighting system that they have looked at daily in the evening for many years. 

My job as a lighting designer is to talk about my unique vision for their project.
After walking the property with my potential client and explaining why having a bunch of pathlight fixtures lighting the edges of their beautiful water feature with several places where water falls was probably not the best way to illuminate it.
I then talked about the kit lights shooting across the pond and replacing them with lights under the falling water stones to highlight each area to create a much different effect on the three falls.
 

We looked at also creating a backdrop behind the water feature, creating reflections in the water feature from the uplit plants and removing even more pathlights along a beautiful stone ledge wall to accent the architectural features properly.
I then asked my potential client to turn around and imagine looking out those large windows of the home at the picture we just talked about creating in the background and how nice it would be in the evenings .
A lighting designers job is to create a 3 dimensional picture for the potential client to enjoy their space in the evening hours.

LITE VISIONS Landscape Lighting Selected for

Masters of Landscape Lighting 2026

Recognized Among 50 of the World’s Top Outdoor Lighting Designers

masters of landscape lighting

 

When LITE VISIONS Landscape Lighting in Raleigh, North Carolina was selected for inclusion in Masters of Landscape Lighting, we were both honored and humbled.

This international publication features only 50 of the world’s top outdoor landscape lighting designers — a carefully curated group recognized for artistic vision, technical precision, and design integrity.

To be included among such a small global community of lighting professionals is meaningful not just for our company, but for our clients throughout Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill, Cary, and coastal North Carolina.

Our work appears in the Southeast region, pages 111–114.

Masters of Landscape Lighting

But this recognition is about more than a book.

It represents a philosophy.

 


 

 

What Is

Masters of Landscape Lighting?

Masters of Landscape Lighting
Screenshot

 

Masters of Landscape Lighting is not a directory. It is not a paid listing. It is not a marketing award.

It is a curated collection of designers worldwide who approach outdoor lighting as both a science and an art form.

The designers featured in this publication include internationally respected professionals who illuminate historic landmarks, luxury estates, architectural masterpieces, and significant public environments.

To be selected means your work demonstrates:

 

  • Artistic restraint
  • Technical mastery
  • Emotional storytelling through light
  • Longevity of systems
  • Professional design ethics

 

In North Carolina, only a very small number of designers were chosen.

Being included reinforces what our clients in the Raleigh–Durham area already experience firsthand: lighting done correctly changes everything.

 


 

 

From Concert Stages to North Carolina Estates

 

LITE VISIONS was founded by Joe Yanulevich — a Raleigh native who began his professional lighting career at 18 years old in the concert and theatrical industry.

For decades, Joe worked behind the scenes with major productions and artists including:

 

  • Whitney Houston
  • Trans-Siberian Orchestra
  • Joan Jett
  • Alan Jackson
  • Tim McGraw
  • Kool and the Gang

 

That background matters.

In theatrical lighting, every beam of light serves a purpose. It directs attention. It creates mood. It shapes perception. It tells a story.

When Joe retired from touring and turned his focus to residential landscape lighting in Raleigh, he quickly noticed something troubling:

Many outdoor lighting systems were over-lit, poorly balanced, and installed without artistic discipline.

Homes were flooded with light rather than sculpted with it.

That is where LITE VISIONS began.

 


 

 

What Makes Our Landscape Lighting Different

 

Unlike many companies that treat outdoor lighting as an add-on service, lighting is all we do.

We approach every property the way a theatrical lighting designer approaches a stage:

 

1. Low-Lumen Philosophy

 

More light is not better. Better light is better.

We design with restraint, creating depth and contrast instead of glare.

 

2. Dark-Sky-Friendly Design

 

Responsible lighting respects the night sky and surrounding properties. We focus illumination downward and precisely where needed.

 

3. High Color Rendering

 

We use 92+ CRI LED sources so colors appear rich and natural — not washed out.

 

4. Precision Beam Control

 

Every fixture is selected intentionally. Beam spread, placement, and layering matter.

 

5. “Visionettes”

 

We create small, curated focal views — scenes designed to be appreciated from inside the home, patios, decks, and entertaining areas.

This philosophy is what caught the attention of the Masters of Landscape Lighting curators.

 


 

 

Why This Recognition Matters for Raleigh Homeowners

 

Luxury homeowners in Raleigh, Cary, Durham, Chapel Hill, Pinehurst, Southern Pines, New Bern, and Morehead City are increasingly investing in:

 

  • Outdoor living spaces
  • Custom architecture
  • Mature landscaping
  • Estate-level properties

 

Yet lighting is often the final decision — and sometimes the least understood.

When lighting is done poorly, it can diminish architectural beauty and landscape investment.

When lighting is done correctly, it transforms a property into a nighttime portrait.

Being recognized among the world’s top outdoor lighting designers signals to homeowners that LITE VISIONS approaches lighting at a professional design level — not as a side service.

 


 

 

Lighting Is an Investment — Not a Commodity

 

Outdoor lighting should never be installed at the lowest price.

It is an investment in:

 

  • Property value
  • Curb appeal
  • Security
  • Longevity
  • Aesthetic identity

 

We use:

 

  • Solid brass fixtures
  • Professionally engineered LED sources
  • Proper heat dissipation systems
  • Carefully concealed wiring
  • Long-term serviceable designs

 

Cheap fixtures fail. Poor heat management destroys LEDs. Improper installation causes system breakdowns.

Recognition in Masters of Landscape Lighting reinforces our commitment to doing things correctly from the start.

 


 

 

Serving Raleigh–Durham and Beyond

 

LITE VISIONS proudly serves:

 

  • Raleigh, NC
  • Durham, NC
  • Chapel Hill, NC
  • Cary, NC
  • Hillsborough, NC
  • Pinehurst & Southern Pines
  • New Bern & Trent Woods
  • Morehead City & the Crystal Coast

 

We especially enjoy lighting coastal live oaks and Spanish moss landscapes along the North Carolina coast, where subtle illumination enhances natural character.

 


 

 

The Responsibility of Recognition

 

Being featured in Masters of Landscape Lighting is not a finish line.

It is a responsibility.

It means continuing to:

 

  • Design thoughtfully
  • Install carefully
  • Educate clients
  • Maintain systems properly
  • Respect the night environment

 

It means continuing to treat each property as unique.

No templates. No rushed installations. No shortcuts.

Just carefully designed light.

 


 

 

Experience the Difference

 

If you are searching for a landscape lighting designer in Raleigh, North Carolina who approaches lighting with theatrical precision and artistic restraint, we invite you to experience the difference.

Enhance Curb Appeal & Minimize Risk – Landscape Lighting

There are technicians and artists, Joe is an artist whose palette is light!

There are many reasons to add landscape lighting to your home. Not only does it make the property look nicer, but it can also increase its value. Landscape lighting is a great way to enhance curb appeal and make your home safer at the same time. By installing landscape lighting, you can minimize the risk of slips, trips, and falls. In this blog post, we will discuss the benefits of landscape lighting and how to choose the right fixtures for your home.

Light Up Your Walkways and Your Home’s Entrances

For many homeowners outdoor lighting is all about improving the curb appeal of their homes. If you want to make your property stand out at night and increase its value, landscape lighting can certainly help. By shining light on a driveway, for instance, you can make your home more visible and easily accessible. It can also highlight any potential hazards, such as a broken branch or uneven pavement, that could lead to an accident. And once you’re aware of the issue, you can address it quickly and safely. An illuminated driveway means as a driver, you have more visibility, and this can optimize your loved ones’ overall safety. You are far more likely to notice if your partner steps behind your vehicle if the driveway is well-lit rather than if the driveway is dark and difficult to see.

But landscape lighting can also play an important role in helping to minimize the risk of slips, trips, and falls.

LANDSCAPE LIGHTING, ONE OF THE BEST INVESTMENTS YOU CAN MAKE IN YOUR RALEIGH NC HOME LANDSCAPE LIGHTING, ONE OF THE BEST INVESTMENTS YOU CAN MAKE IN YOUR RALEIGH NC HOME

Prevent Slips, Trips & Falls

To start with, installing lighting along your driveway can help to guide visitors and guests safely to your home. By highlighting the edges of your driveway, you can reduce the risk of people tripping or driving their cars off the road at night. Additionally, landscape lighting can also make it easier for you to find your way around during those dark winter months.

When selecting landscape lighting for your home, it is important to choose fixtures that are water and weather-resistant. You will also want to consider the height of the fixtures, making sure they are high enough that people won’t bump into them while walking outside at night. And if you have children or pets in your home, it is a good idea to opt for landscape lighting that is more focused and directed, such as spotlights.

By taking the time to carefully select landscape lighting for your home, you can enjoy all of the benefits that this feature has to offer. Not only will it help increase curb appeal and property value, but it can also help keep your family safe at night.

alt=do one thing and excel at it

Add Elegance and Improve Curb Appeal 

Carefully curated landscape lighting is also a great way to add elegance and style to your home. By highlighting the different features of your landscape, such as trees, shrubs, and flowering plants, you can create an eye-catching display that will make your property stand out at night. Additionally, landscape lighting can also help increase curb appeal by highlighting the architectural details of your home, such as windows and doors.

Having built my career within stage lighting before focusing my attention on landscape lighting for homes, I have developed a keen eye for creating atmosphere through lighting design. In fact, I truly believe that your home should not only be invested in but seen as the stage of your family life. It is where memories are made and so should be illuminated in a similar way as a stage, drawing attention to its finest details and warmly welcoming you home. In fact, feel free to check out my latest work online and read my customer reviews here.

Whether you are looking to add landscape lighting for safety, curb appeal or ambience, I can help. As an experienced landscape lighting designer, I have the skills and knowledge necessary to create a stunning landscape lighting system that perfectly complements your home and lifestyle. If you are ready to enhance the beauty of your home with landscape lighting, feel free to contact me today.

Add Value To Your Home 

Along with preventing slips, trips, and falls, landscape lighting can also help to add value to your home.  By highlighting the features of your landscape and architectural details, you can make your home more appealing to potential buyers and increase its value. This is because, when placed correctly, lighting can create visual interest and draw the eye to specific landscape features. In addition, landscape lighting can also help to highlight your home’s beauty and architectural details, making it more appealing in the eyes of potential buyers. It can also give your home a warmer, welcoming feel which can help to attract potential buyers.

If you are looking for a way to add value to your home and increase its curb appeal, landscape lighting is an excellent option. With the right landscape lighting design, you can highlight the unique features of your property and make your home stand out at night. Whether you are looking to improve safety and reduce slips, trips, and falls or simply enhance the beauty of your home, landscape lighting has something to offer for everyone!

If you’re considering landscape lighting for your home or property. It’s important to do your research, especially if a company is fairly new to the business. There are two types of companies to look out for: those jumping on the outdoor lighting bandwagon to add profits to existing businesses, and those buying into an outdoor lighting franchise.

The first type may offer cheaper lighting fixtures or wiring and connections, but don’t be fooled – they don’t understand the principles of actual lighting design and are usually using inferior products.

On the other hand, franchises may offer better training, but the photos on their website and advertisements are often from the franchise or manufacturer and not of the local companies’ work. Anyone with enough money can buy a decorative outdoor lighting franchise.

At Lite Visions Landscape Lighting, We prefer to showcase our own work. This way, you can trust that the lighting you see on our website is a reflection of the quality we provide.

Why landscape lighting clients love Lite Visions

Why landscape lighting clients love Lite Visions,Wow! Just wow! I cannot say enough good things about Joe and Lite Visions! He installed our new front yard landscape lighting which needed replacing after the original became tired and worn. It is now fabulous! Joe’s artistic vision, service and the quality of the lights he uses are unsurpassed. His company is unique in that he offers so much more than “standard” landscape lighting. No cheap lights. No dotted “runway” looks. No hot spots. Joe knows his lighting and it shows. He took the time to show us a demo which was extremely helpful. We knew exactly what we were getting and how it would look at night! Installation was seamless and professional. We are looking forward to having him redo our back yard now too! Thanks Joe!

Update! Joe redid our backyard lighting as well and we are thrilled with the results! His lighting design made the area a beautiful true nighttime oasis! Many thanks again

Wanted soft lighting that I could appreciate from both inside and outside. Very satisfied and appreciate the artistic approach to lighting! Highly recommend. I just had to have a tree removed which of course changed my shade garden lighting. Joe was quick to remedy the situation. At the same time, we had a power outage which made me realize how much I had grown accustomed to having the lights. Thanks Joe for the quick and great service!

 

Joe with Lite Visions has served us professional landscape lighting for our business several times over the last 10 years. Give him a call if you want landscaping lighting done correctly, thoughtfully, and with lasting quality fixtures.

 

Two years ago, I left a glowing review for Lite Visions after Joe installed up lighting around our home, and that praise still stands. Since then, we’ve continued to be impressed not just by the quality of the lighting but by Joe’s consistent professionalism, reliability, and work ethic.
I accidentally damaged one of the lights with the lawn mower. I called Joe, and he came out shortly after to repair it. That kind of service is rare. Just last week, he returned on three separate occasions to fine-tune the system and conduct maintenance, making sure everything was just right. He didn’t rush, didn’t cut corners, and communicated with intention every step of the way.
Joe is personable, trustworthy, and clearly takes great pride in his work. The lighting continues to draw compliments from neighbors and passersby, and we still enjoy stepping out to admire it from the street. We’re even more excited now to move forward with phase two for our backyard.
If you’re considering landscape lighting, Lite Visions is the company to call. Joe stands behind his work, and it shows.

Lite Visions is an incredible company that made our home stand out at night. Joe knows what he is doing—placing lights in the exact location to get the best effect. He takes his time to provide a fantastic experience. He is personable and easy to work with. Numerous people have stopped in front of our home to observe the lights. We enjoy walking out to the road to look at the display the light provides. We intend to get Joe to light our backyard in phase two. I recently hit one of the lights with the mower and called Joe. He was able to come over the same day and fix it for free. I’m genuinely impressed with Joe and how he stands by the product and his work. Keep up the great work!

Joe is a professional, on time, an artist with landscape lighting. Joe creates a magical setting with light and shadow. The small bridge area reminds me of a fairy garden. He made an atmosphere that you want to enjoy your outside area at night to relax. This not a standard out of the box landscaping lighting job. Joe was able to turn our yard into an oasis it’s like being on vacation. Give Joe a call.

Very professional, and timely the work far exceeds expectations, I hired him after seeing a neighbors house now all the other neighbors are asking us about him. Excellent!!! I highly recommend!!!

Three years ago we contracted with Joe to replace our then-15 year-old landscape lighting – and what a major upgrade it was! We live on a large wooded lot which backs up to a creek with lots of shade and landscape variance and Joe spent hours that first day walking the lot, asking questions, making suggestions, and describing his vision. His professional background in dramatic stage-lighting and his down-to-earth, no BS personality put us at ease and within days our property was transformed into a night-time wonderland of soft and dramatic lighting that looks like it was painted by an artist (just look at the photos on this site!) Recently a couple of our lights went out and we called Joe and he was there the next day. Within minutes he discovered that a buried lighting cable had been cut during some landscaping work, made the repair, and we were back in the saddle. Joe is an utter professional, a truly nice guy, and a pure lighting artist, We can’t recommend him highly enough to anyone who wants to truly accentuate their property with the magic of light.
Joe did an amazing job on our lighting project! He’s a true artist with decades of lighting experience and it shows. On top of that, he’s incredibly interesting to talk with and a genuinely nice guy! We couldn’t be happier! Thanks again Joe!!!
I spoke with 5 landscape light companies to replace my existing system. Lite Visions is truly professional and the system installed is 10x more dynamic than any others I have looked at. It is well worth the price!

We selected Lite Vision Landscape Lighting Inc to design and install accent lighting for our home and we couldn’t be more pleased. Choosing to work with Joe, a professional landscape lighting designer with a background in stage lighting, was absolutely well worth the investment.

Joe just didn’t demo a lighting package, but educated us on the proper use of lighting and techniques that would be used to enhance the architectural features unique to our home and landscape. This extra step helped us appreciate the final design and installation even more.

It’s been a year and we are still extremely pleased with the design, the product and the service. So pleased, we have asked Joe to design and install landscape lighting for our backyard.

We can’t say enough about Lite Vision Landscape Lighting Inc. We highly recommend Joe for your lighting project.

Joe is a magician with light!
Being a magician is not his only strength, he is also really good at the customer service aspect of his business: He listens well, tells you what will work, and sets up evening demonstrations to give you an idea of what the finished product will look like. His after-install service is also excellent, we had some minor failures after a couple of days and he came back right away to resolve the problem and replace the failed hardware. I will be using him again shortly!

Joe is not just a lighting installer, he’s a creative artist, a lighting luminary! He produces ambiences that illicit positive emotions with each experience. Joe is passionate about lighting and takes extreme pride in his work and educating customers on proper lighting. Most may not know this, but Joe ran concert lighting for some the highest acclaimed musical artist in sold out arenas, hence his unique and experiential approach to landscaping lighting. He considers the small but transformative details that others don’t, and that is what makes him the best in the business.

When you work with Joe you can expect the following: A great customer experience, excellent communication, superior service, the best quality, and exceeded expectations! Here are a few pictures of patio lights Joe installed for me. My wife and I love our patio and the ambiance created by Joe’s lights. Our neighbors and guests always compliment how nice our patio looks at night with the lights.
I am looking forward to working with Joe on a couple of more lighting projects. Once you have worked with the best, you don’t want to work with anyone else.

Joe did a great job on our project. He brought a great knowledge base and creative vision to our large project, and was very responsive to a tight deadline for an event we were up against. He was also conscious about what is practical for maintenance with landscaping crews. The end result is fantastic and I’m really re-inspired by our property now ! Absolutely gorgeous.
This is the best decision we made to have Joe come and transform our curb appeal by his deep expertise, passion and unique eye for lighting. He is an artist and a true professional. He is fair in his pricing and dedicated to delighting customers. We can’t wait to do more lighting with you in the future. Don’t look any further, I don’t know how you could have a better experience and result than Lite Visions! He also recommended Woody with Carolina Professional Landscapes to do some refreshing of our beds and plant varieties and it made a huge difference. If you need both, they are the dream team!
Joe did a great job of lighting our house. He’s very nice, talented, and shows up when he says he will. I wanted the lights to accentuate house, not so lit up that it’s like a runway. Because he has a background with doing lighting for concerts, he knew where to place the light for best results, not just randomly placing them anywhere. After driving around neighborhood, our lighting is also ‘softer’ – not so bright and definitely not as white. You don’t think too much about that (at least I didn’t), until you look at everyone else’s. Personally, I think ours look better. It’s nice because he’s the owner and installer. We are very pleased that we went with him.
Great experience with Joe, a true artist! His many years of working with concert and theater lighting gives him a unique perspective and eye for what looks good – without being over the top. In our side yard natural areas, Joe placed several soft lights high in the trees, aimed downward that gave our yard a whole new perspective. We highly recommend Lite Visions Landscape Lighting.
I have used many landscape lighting professionals over the years. Although I have been pleased with the previous results, I really didn’t realize what I was missing out on and what “true lighting” was until I met Joe with Lite Visions. I think the best thing that Joe will provide is a unique, customized lighting scene specialized to your property, as opposed to some generic, plug-and-play lighting. Joe has the unique credentials of not only being a lighting professional, using all the latest products, but he has an artistic/musical background which sets him apart from any other lighting professional using various techniques that most others are not even aware of. Please check out his services and I promise you will not be disappointed!
Wonderful experience! Cannot say enough good things. Joe came, he saw, and he conquered with exquisite taste, patience, and good humor our new home construction project. We were indeed fortunate that friends recommended this lighting artist to us and he was willing to travel – repeatedly – two hours each way to give us this performance we
joyfully now have night after night. Thank you Joe!
I have been working with Joe for a number of years now and when it comes to lighting design he has a unique set of skills and experience, having begun in theatrical lighting over thirty years ago he transitioned to outdoor lighting and brought his unique skill and expertise to outdoor spaces in Raleigh. When it comes to large jobs that need a sophisticated design Joe is an excellent choice, he will stay out late dialing and adjusting each light, he uses excellent products such as Sterling Lighting to achieve his timeless designs. If you are in the market to paint a masterpiece in your outdoor space its worth the money to commission Joe to do it, you will not be disappointed.
We had a great experience with Joe from Lite Visions. We had hired the wrong guy for our initial install many years ago, and it’s been nothing but problems since. I reached out to Lite Visions and was lucky enough to get on his schedule. He was very knowledgeable about our situation and was able to remediate the problems in less than a day. He will definitely be my go to when we install lights in our backyard as well.
There are technicians, and there are artists – and Joe is an artist. We live on a large wooded lot and recently did a major house remodel which required pulling up a lot of our existing lighting that was over 15 years old. Joe was recommended to us and once we became aware of his background in theatrical lighting and got a Iook at his website we couldn’t wait to work with him. Joe came out on a Saturday and did a complete and thorough walk around of our lot, asking questions about what we wanted and also making suggestions. He was a pleasure to talk to and to be around, totally down to earth, absolutely no BS. By the end of that consultation, which lasted a couple of hours, we pretty much decided to give Joe carte blanche to do a complete and total reset, so confident were we in the vision he had for our property – and we are so glad that we did. Joe works with what I would call a “soft palette” – he fills in spaces with light and with balance. He most definitely “paints a picture” The resultant effect is calming to the spirit and beautiful to the eye. After the installation, he came back out two nights in a row to make sure we were happy with the vision he had created and that he was happy with it too. Like I said, Joe is an artist. He is also a genuinely nice guy who I have enjoyed getting to know just as much as I’ve enjoyed working with him. I really can’t offer a higher recommendation than that.
This review is a month overdue but I wanted to commend Joe from Lite Visions for his professional and thorough installation of our driveway lighting. His attention to detail along with your input and preferences, will be heard, acknowledged and brought to LIGHT. He becomes and remains a vested business associate and partner and cares deeply about your satisfaction. This project of lighting our long, otherwise nearly invisible driveway, has made all the difference by safely and artistically lighting our driveway for guests and us down to our house from the street nearly 175′. It also enhances the beautiful mature hardwood trees with beautiful and yet subtle warmth. The Bluetooth app makes setting and changing the time for the lights to turn on/off a breeze. We have several other projects we will be working on with Joe and couldn’t recommend anyone else more strongly for your landscape lighting needs! He also removed our old landscape lighting which was most appreciated.
Joe has an eye for this stuff! He takes a holistic perspective based off the house, landscape, trees, style of the house and all that. This artistic view of the job make for a great lighting design.
Joe was simply awesome to work with on our project! We put him against our estimate & demo from Carolina Outdoor Lighting, and Lite Visions won out in every way. He had great suggestions during the lighting demo, and combined with our own ideas we ended up with a truly excellent result. He searches for the best lights from a variety of companies, which means more choices for you! He had these great up/down lights which worked perfectly for our pergola structures, which simply wasn’t an option from the competition. He also had RGB Bluetooth controlled spotlights to flood the forest behind our property, where the competition had only white and non controllable. The addition of color back there is so much fun and we really look forward to using it during parties & BBQs!
During install Joe was quick, efficient and cleaned up after completion. All of the wires were hid as much as possible and left in a tidy order. The little things impressed us too, like adding a rose filter to the Japanese Maple light to enhance the color, or diffusion filters to reduce glare, etc. We also got to hear lots of awesome stories from his concert days!!For literally the same price as competition, we got a wide variety of lights perfectly suited to the project, excellent service, and can rest easy that the lights suddenly won’t work next year because of a shoddy install.
We were elated with Lite Vision’s design process and timely execution of our project. Working with Joe is an enlightening (no pun intended) experience. He is a highly skilled technician that we challenged with three difficult areas around our home. Joe created a masterpiece that we enjoy daily.
I am really happy with both the finished product and the entire process. The lights look fantastic thanks to the craftsmanship but also the creativity of the ideas. And the process was excellent, from beginning to end. My wife and I got to know Joe the owner. He personally made sure every detail was completed properly, was responsive during the Presales process and followed through exactly like he committed after we signed up. I highly recommend Joe and Lite Visions for any landscape lighting job….
From design to installation, Joe carefully considered every detail to make sure we got the look we wanted. He handled every aspect of the project himself, leaving no room for miscommunication or error. We are thrilled with the outcome and highly recommend Joe!
Joe at Lite Visions was an absolute pleasure to work with… He listened to our needs and helped us achieve our landscape lighting goals within our budget. Our dilemma was that we had a lot of original landscape lighting fixtures we hoped to resurrect and not replace unless absolutely necessary. Joe was able to fix many fixtures and only replaced or added fixtures where needed. This was in contrast to other landscape lighting folks who just recommended full replacement. We would definitely recommend him to friends, family and colleagues. We will also use him the next time we have any landscape lighting issues, needs or desires.
Had several quotes, but Joe stood out as being the most professional and was the only owner who installed the lights himself. He was able to add filters to some lights and positioned some that would highlight the main tree perfectly while also hitting some of the larger surrounding trees-something only a pro would do so well! Instead of selling me more lights than I needed, he told me what would look best and he was right. Love the lights and cannot recommend enough.
We looked at several different vendors to install lighting for us. Lite Visions came up with the most creative layout and design. Because lighting is all they do they do the quality of workmanship was really superior to having a general landscape company try and do the work. Joseph was responsive and so easy to work with. Most importantly he did what he said he would do everytime. Thank you Joseph for enhancing our home.
Joe is an artist whose palette is light! He replaced our “standard” (mediocre) driveway path lights with downlight strategically located in trees resulting in a dreamy, soft-lit approach to our house. Next he is designing the lighting for Phase II of our landscaping project…lighting our front entry and parking area. The results speak to Joe’s excellence and professionalism!
The lighting installed by lite visions has made a significant difference in the appearance of our home. Joe is very knowledgeable, helpful and passionate. He helped us choose the appropriate location for the lights so that it would enhance the look of our house. He did an awesome job helping us choose the right spots and gave us great design. The work was completed on time. He is a thorough professional and he absolutely knows what he is doing and what is best for the customer’s house. It was a great experience. Can’t wait to work with him on our backyard lighting. I would recommend him for any kind of landscape lighting work. He is the best!!!

Exceptional! That is the quality and level of our professionally installed outdoor lights! Joe did a phenomenal job! He came out and listened to our needs, provided options, set up demos on two nights to ensure we were pleased then installed our lights. We now have people drive by the house at night to look at our beautiful home! We’ve had people inquire about our lights and have commented on how awesome they are. All I can say is don’t fool yourself with any lighting group. Joe at Lite Visions truly understands how color, intensity, angle and type of lighting creates the ambiance needed for the effect that is needed for an outdoor masterpiece! You will not go wrong with him doing your work of art!

 

We recently redid our whole backyard. The final piece was the lighting. We found Joe through an online search, he came out and met with us, heard what we wanted, refined that based on his experience, pulled together a demo for us so we could see what it looked like before we decided, and then, once we gave the go ahead, he did the install. We could not be happier! It looks amazing! On top of doing great work, Joe is also super nice, completely dependable (shows up when he says he will, returns phone calls and texts), listens to what you want (when I didn’t like one of the fixtures he proposed, he found a fixture exactly like what I told him I wanted even though it wasn’t one he normally installed), honest (no surprise charges), fast, and completely committed to giving you a great experience as well as great lighting. We would recommend him to anyone and would definitely use him again if we decide to do more outdoor lighting.

Our home is about 100 yards off the road and our driveway winds through the woods. Joe visited with us about 10 days ago and listened intently to what my wife and I wanted to achieve. From the outset it was obvious that Joe is a lighting artist and we trusted his knowledge and creativity in designing and implementing an intriguing lighting plan.

We are delighted with the results! Joe has taken a personal interest in our project and has been a delight to work with- our project has really enhanced our property and we enjoyed our first “lit up” night yesterday.

Joe is a real pro and we are very pleased to have been introduced to him.

I typically don’t write reviews but I couldn’t be more pleased with the professionalism, design and great work that Joe did for me, hence the exception here. He is a true pro who has provided lighting set-design for many major touring acts and he showed the same level of attention to detail in designing an architectural lighting plan for my home. I can’t recommend Joe and Lite Visions highly enough. His work brought the exterior of my home to life. Really happy I responded to his direct mailer and contacted him.
