Reviews of local pros in Ellenton, Florida

Illuminate Landscape did an amazing job on my new landscape lighting! The results exceeded my expectations—everything looks stunning. Owners Fitz and Kim were fantastic to work with—professional, reliable, and true to their word. Highly recommend them if you want quality work and beautiful results!

Incredible Transformation – Professional, Creative, and Reliable!

Working with Fitz and Kim was one of the best decisions we’ve made for our home. From our first consultation, they impressed us with their knowledge, creativity, and passion for what they do. They really listened to what we wanted and then designed a lighting plan that was both functional and visually stunning.

The installation team was on time, courteous, and incredibly meticulous. They treated our home with care and made sure everything was perfect before wrapping up. The lighting itself has completely transformed our outdoor space. We now enjoy spending time outside in the evenings, and it’s made our home feel safer and more inviting.

What sets Illuminate Landscape Designs apart is their attention to detail and commitment to quality. They didn’t just install lights, they created an atmosphere. We can’t recommend them highly enough!

Fitz and Kim are professional, courteous, friendly, very knowledgeable, and caring. I highly recommend them for any job you may need.

Have some in ground low voltage landscape lights that were not working when we bought our home. It created a safety issue. The housings were in rough shape and finding parts was a non starter. Fitz and his team found a water proof option that worked beautifully and should withstand the wet, salty climate. Great local company recommended to us by McGhee Electric who we know and trust. Will definitely use and recommend Illuminate to our friends and neighbors.

What can I say...Fitz and Kim did an INCREDIBLE job with updating the exterior lighting of our property. The end result was better than we could have even expected and they were a genuine pleasure to work with!

As fellow Christian business owners ourselves, it's a true joy to work with other Bible based companies walking what they talk. Let your light shine (and boy are they shining)! 😊

Fitz is on top of his business, with the goal to completely exceed his customers’ expectations. He knows the business. Completed the project efficiently, well organized, on time, and answered all our questions. We definitely recommend using him and his 2 person team for any pool illumination projects. Our pool deck area looks completely different with the beautiful LED lighting.

Mike upgraded our lights to programmable colored lights. Did a great job installing, as well as explaining the app to control the lights.

Kim and Fitz were awesome to work with. Our lanai lighting is beautiful! We are very pleased with our overall experience!! My husband and I highly recommend them!

Fitz and his team are outstanding. We couldn't be more pleased.. I would highly recommend them for your lighting needs.

This lighting company is amazing. Everything went perfectly and our pool area is gorgeous at night. I highly recommend Illuminate! I’m so happy I found them. Both owners are a pleasure to work with.

STEER CLEAR OF THIS COMPANY!!!!!!! If I could give a negative 10 star review I WOULD!!!! I had this company install outdoor lighting at my Florida Waterfront home in Oct 2023. After a few months the fixtures are all pitting and rotting. When I contacted the company to have these fixtures replaced under their 10 year fixture warranty they denied my request! Stating the fixtures are not covered under that warranty due to the location of my property. I was never advised of this prior to install and felt protected with their 10yr fixture/10yr Transformer and 1 yr labor warranty as stated on my invoice. I did my research knowing that metal can oxidize and rot in areas surrounding Salt water and I was under the assumption I was purchasing a quality Bronze product!!!

The entire process was seamless and outstanding. Fitz, Kim & Bennett did exceptional work. They were precise, meticulous and went above and beyond the work to be performed. The lights look great and give a beautiful and tranquil ambiance to our pool area. We highly recommend Illuminate Landscape Designs.

From start to finish the entire experience was tremendous! Fitz was great to work with through the entire process, extremely professional and thorough. We couldn’t be happier with our new lights! I would highly recommend Illuminate for your lighting needs.

From my initial contact to the final installation Fitz and Kim have been exceptional. I am a detail oriented person and they excel in every way possible. The finale of the install is the light show after sunset. We chose the fixtures that are multi colored LEDs, controlled via app. These lights are theme park effective. My wife posted pics on FB and in 24 hours had 65 comments of WOW, AMAZING, AWESOME etc. I highly recommend Fitz and Kim and Illuminate Landscape Design.

Fitz & Kim are professional but friendly. Our house went from looking haunted & dark to tropical in one day. When our landscaping co @Bloomings cut the cable when trimming they came out immediately to make the repair. One of the best investments on our Rosedale home.

I couldn’t be happier with the work Illuminate Landscape Designs did on my home! They transformed my outdoor space with stunning lighting that truly makes my house the best-looking one on the street. Their work is nothing short of outstanding, every detail was executed with excellence and professionalism.

What sets them apart isn’t just their craftsmanship, but the way they bring light in more ways than one. As they worked, they shared life, hope, and encouragement, making the entire experience so much more meaningful. Their passion for what they do shines through, both in their work and in the way they treat their customers.

If you’re looking for a company that delivers top-quality lighting with a personal touch, I highly recommend Illuminate Landscape Design . They don’t just light up homes, they illuminate hearts!

We had lights installed inside of our lanai today and they came out great! I was greeted by Fitz and his wife, who were very pleasant people and great to chat with! They gave me a run down of the time it would take to do the job and got to work! They kept me informed throughout the process and walked me through all of the necessary functions and need to knows about the system. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Money well spent! I highly recommend using them if you need low voltage lighting done!

Absolutely AMAZING! We could not be happier with what Fitz, Kim and Mike were able to do with our exterior home lighting. Extremely knowledgeable - it was evident that they valued quality of service and product over quantity and just trying to make a sale. Fitz took the time to explain to us, in depth, all lighting options as well as their step-by-step process to a quality project performed with quality tools and materials. He answered all of our questions and never made us feel pressured or unimportant. We chose the color changing integrated lights for our front yard and were blown away by the final results (just in time for Christmas). We were introduced to their work through other houses in the neighborhood who had smartly used them for their home projects- and for good reason. The work performed by Illuminate Landscape Designs speaks for itself and I would not even think about looking elsewhere for landscape lighting. This is how ALL businesses should be run - if I could give more stars I would. We will definitely be using them in the future for our lanai lighting!

During the course of our pool build I did online research on landscape lighting/services. During this extensive process I came across Illuminate Landscape Design. I reached out to Illuminate early in our pool’s construction with many questions. I was met with timely and informative answers. It was apparent that owners Fitz and Kim were experienced professionals that placed high standards on their services. I contracted with Illuminate to install pool cage lighting so we could enjoy extended use of our pool during evening hours, as well as enhance its esthetics. The end result was beyond what we could have dreamt and hoped for. Our future plans include adding lighting around the perimeter of our home. When we do, we will not hesitate to call on Illuminate Landscape Design. Without reservation we highly recommend Illuminate Landscape Design.

Thank you Fitz and Kim!

Fitz and Kim check all the boxes when it comes to landscape lighting. I researched Lakewood Ranch, FL local companies extensively and obtained written estimates from four of them. Illuminate Landscape Designs aka Fitz & Kim were by far the most creative in their design and best in value in their pricing. Their installation was timely and professional, from start to finish. They were flexible in some design changes during installation and went above and beyond in ordering a lower wattage bulb for our three, front wash lights in order to reduce the lumens on our garage and front path archway, returning a THIRD day to switch out those bulbs and make sure all the lights were properly positioned and focused. Our neighbors continue to ask who did our exterior lighting. Fitz and Kim are an absolute pleasure to do business with! Let them quote your job and you'll see what I and all the other 5-star reviewers here on Google are talking about. Illuminate Landscape Designs rocks!

When I’m hiring a business or company I look for honesty, quality, great service & support, experience & knowledge, professionalism, value, variety, dependability, good communication, product options, warranty, and ease. You’ll get all of those things with Illuminate Landscape Designs. From the moment we met with Fitz we felt comfortable and in good hands. He understood the scope of our project and quickly transformed our yard from “no place to showplace.” The company is small and family owned & operated so someone will always pick up the phone or get right back to you, something you rarely see in today’s world anymore. Throughout the project and afterwards Fitz remains personally available for any issues or troubleshooting. As for price, they weren’t the least expensive nor were they the most of the 5 quotes we received. But we felt they were “by far” the highest quality and checked every service & standard box mentioned above. You will definitely get what you pay for. We are happy & impressed every single evening we drive home and see our home lit up so beautifully. We’ll be starting on our backyard soon and Fitz, his wife Kim and Illuminate Landscape Lighting will be our 1st and only choice.

Service was excellent. We had a large install at our home, and after making some landscaping changes and updates, it became clear that the smaller transformer installed was no longer meeting our power needs. Fritz and his team quickly diagnosed the issue, upgraded the transformer, and had everything back up and running without delay. We’ve been so impressed with their responsiveness and professionalism that we continue to recommend Illuminate Landscape Designs to our clients relocating to the area. They’re one of the top companies we trust to always put clients first.
