Had a great experience with Todd going over my project concept. Todd came prepared for the project review, provided better ideas (design, products, etc.) and qualified them with his past experience, product enhancements (of his own design) and with his knowledge of products I already have been using and was very familiar with. North Star does big, serious and complex designs and installations for large homes and estates. My home and my project were both modest (by comparison) and he never treated me or my project any differently. I was given a clear estimate for the work, including a detailed break down of cost, products, sub contract specialists, and full technical details - all of which were easy to comprehend and imo fairly priced for the value. In fact, Todd spent extra time with me discussing my current installation and sharing his knowledge and experience with my products and my curiosity about them --it was like talking shop with an ol' friend. I ended up delaying my project (for reasons) but my experience with Todd convinced me that the only person in the whole valley I'd trust to do my outdoor lighting projects with are North Star and Todd. read more

An Outstanding Experience! We recently contracted with Todd Meyer at North Star Outdoor Lighting to completely redo our landscape lighting in the front and rear of our home in Scottsdale. From start to finish, we could not have been happier with Todd and his team. When he first came to our home, Todd outlined a very detailed plan for lighting that would accent our home and plants. Importantly, he did not recommend an excessive amount of lighting but gave us a plan that would illuminate the driveway and walking paths and enhance our landscaping and home. He helped us select the appropriate fixtures for our architecture and landscaping and gave us a very reasonable proposal. On the day of installation, Todd and his team arrived promptly and got to work, removing our old landscape lighting, and installing the new transformers, power lines and fixtures. In a day and a half, the project was completed. Todd and his team thoroughly cleaned up everywhere they had worked and then walked us through all they had done. Interestingly, it was early afternoon when they finished so we could not see the "finished project" until the lights turned on that evening. When the sun set, and the lights came on, it was a magical transformation of our property. It was a pleasure working with Todd and his team and we were delighted with the results. If you are considering outdoor lighting, we highly recommend Todd Meyer and North Star Outdoor Lighting. read more

Todd is kind, professional, efficient, knowledgeable, and a great lighting designer. Use him and your house will be the best looking one on the block at night! read more

Todd is knowledgeable, uses only high quality lighting materials, and does an efficient installation. Our courtyard is transformed!

Todd was back out to our house again adding some new up lighting to our trees. Needless to say, it gave the backyard additional added life and value. Todd, as always, was very polite and helpful in planning the design of our outdoor lighting. Four thumbs up! read more

Dealing with the owner Todd was so easy. He was there from the beginning till the end. He actually shows up and does the work. Thank you again Todd. read more

Having just completed the landscaping for a new home, I knew I wanted to compliment it with outdoor lighting. My previous homes had big box store path lighting and they would always fail. They would break, made cheaply, etc. This time I wanted to do it right. I had several bids from various companies but Todd's was the most understandable. He carefully explained his warranties, the types of bulbs he uses (and I learned not all bulbs are created equal!!), etc. he's a lighting artist and came up with the perfect plan. Within a week of our meeting, my yard was finished. His installation was simple and left the grounds just as he found them. You'd never know he dug a trench around the perimeter. The quality of his fixtures are amazing -these are the kind of lights you'd see at fine estate homes-and he's very reasonably priced! The end result is like fine jewelry on a ball gown! Couldn't be happier and eager to recommend him to anyone! read more

Wow. Absolutely incredible purchasing experience from start to finish. Todd was very helpful, respectful, and punctual. He also advocated for me to get the best solution for the lowest cost possible. No pushy, gimmicky sales tips or tactics. The whole process was pain free and I wasn't surprised by any charges or fees. As far as finished project, my house looks fantastic. Todd has been around the block with lighting and his expertise is impeccable. They use only quality products and stand by their work. I arrived to see Todd himself sweeping my driveway so that my house looked better when they left than when they arrived. No mess left over. They also work fast! Frontyard and backyard lights installed before noon! North Star is definitely going to be the top outdoor lighting company in the Valley within the next couple years so book them as soon as you can! read more

I called Todd at Northstar because my outdoor lighting wasn't working. He said he booked a month out. I understood but told him I had my whole family coming out for Thanksgiving and it was hard to get timely help with the problems Covid was causing. Todd arranged his schedule to come out TODAY!!! It wasn't for the money it was to help me out. Now that's customer service. Not only did he quickly , and reasonably, fix the problem but he's knowledgeable, friendly, and personable. He should get more than 5 stars!!! read more

Easy to work with! Job got completed on time and at the budget we discussed. Thanks Todd!

Great experience. Todd was straight forward and honest about where we needed to spend money and where we didn't. They did a great job, got our outdoor lights looking great again and at a fair price. We will definitely use them when we do our backyard remodel. read more

I am very happy that I hired Todd to redo our landscape lighting. I initially did it on the cheap to save money, but the lighting ended up having several hot spots with several lights blinding you as you walked around the yard. Todd isn't the cheapest, but he's the best and refuses to pout anything but high quality products into your project. He was very professional, pleasant and did what he said he would do and on time. After installation we decided to move and add one more light - he came out the very next day. Our yard went from looking like a city park to a scottsdale resort. Looking forward to him doing the front of our home read more

I've been in the "dark" since 2006. I finally saw the "light" after going to Yelp and reading all the reviews on outdoor lighting professionals. It was no contest ... North Star Outdoor Lighting had amazing reviews, so I called them. A week later (today) I had my beautiful outdoor lighting installed. I chose green for the holidays, which will be changed to white lights after the New Year. The problem with accent lighting is it's addictive. I immediately want to call Todd to add even more lights! The thing I like about Todd is he doesn't try to "sell you" ... he merely makes a few helpful suggestions and then blows you away with his lighting design! I'm in total awe and cannot stop staring at my landscape accent lights. In fact, it's 2:00 a.m. and I decided to walk outside to admire my lighting. Crazy, isn't it? You'll be doing the same after you hire North Star! read more

Todd is very professional, lets you know what to expect upfront and then arrives on time to get the job done. I was very happy with his replacement of my outdoor halogen lighting to LED and upgrading the timer and photo sensor in the power box. I will definitely use his services again in the future. read more

I would recommend Todd and North Star Lighting to anybody looking to add landscape lights. Todd helped us with recommendations and layout for outdoor lighting around our house. Todd is very easy to work with, friendly and no pressure at all. When it came time for installation everything went as planned and the work was quality all around. We've had numerous compliments from our neighbors about Todd's work and we've since asked him to come back and add lights in other areas (which he initially recommended). He also helped us with red and green LED bulbs for Christmas lighting. You cannot go wrong with North Star Lighting. read more

Todd came up with a gorgeous plan to enhance our existing lighting. He is very professional, neat, courteous and on time. Never pushy and uses high quality products. He and Patrick did our install a few days ago & it absolutely blew us away! It totally transformed our driveway and entry. I would never use anyone else. I've never talked to anyone more knowledgable about outdoor lighting. I was very happy with his pricing. Very fair & he doesn't try to gouge you. Don't hesitate to call him. read more

We recently worked with Todd to design and install a complete lighting plan for our mid-century modern home. I had met with at least 2 or 3 other lighting contractors, but it just didn't seem like we were on the same page. Thankfully I found Todd via Yelp reviews. I agree completely with all the other posts. From the first meeting to walk our property, to discussing product and lighting effect, Todd was the complete professional. The final reveal of the lighting was just breathtaking. We have had many compliments from friends and neighbors. It was just a great experience and pleasure to work with Todd--he listens! Do yourself a big favor and make sure you meet with Todd to discuss your lighting needs. If you do, you will be happy you did and especially when your lighting plan comes alive! read more

I had my installation done several months ago and wanted to wait until after the "honeymoon" period to write a review. Suffice it to say that the other reviews on this site were instrumental in my selecting Todd and North Star for my project. I was not mislead in any way and can only echo what others have already said. The design and quality of the work remains phenomenal. We get many comments on our,home now that the lighting has been added. While certainly not the cheapest option in this space, North Star delivers a tremendous value. You have to look quite close to see where they worked. Simply first class craftsmanship, which one does not see much these days. I have not needed any repairs but we did add a few more fixtures after the initial installation and those were done quickly and just as professionally as the "big" job. We like that Todd will come out and do a system maintenance checkup whenever you need, so your lights will remain properly aligned and in good working order. You will not make a bad or wrong decision if you select Todd and North Star for your own project. Also, like others have said, trust their design. They are truly artists with light. read more

We used Todd this summer to light up our backyard and to give it a resort feel. He did an exceptional job for us and also spent a lot of time explaining multiple options and designs to customize exactly what we wanted. You get what you pay for and if quality is what you desire this is the comapny for you. North Star will be our first call when we decide to do the front yard. read more

After putting off the remake of our outdated landscape lights that the previous owner had installed in our home, I started the process of finding a reputable landscape lighting company that would do the work. I actually called 4 lighting contractors and only 2 came out to give me a quote (even though all four had scheduled appointments with me), and only one was on time. That one person was Todd Meyer with North Star. We started the process by looking at my current system and we then determined what type of lighting and where the lights should go. Todd had great input in this area, which is helpful since I am not a landscape lighting designer. The next step was to choose the type of lights and then Todd worked up a quote. He was very clear on what would be done and how it was done. I got the quote and compared it to the other company I was considering and decided to go with Todd based on meeting with him and being comfortable with what he proposed. The work was completed in a day and the house looks great. We do live in a pretty nice neighborhood and now our house really fits in nicely with the other houses that have high quality landscape lighting. Todd came back that night and adjusted the lights and made sure I was happy with how everything was set up. I would recommend Todd and his crew on just the basis of quality work, honesty and his design input. He didn't try and upsell me on things that I did not need, and I appreciated that. read more

Todd(owner) was phenomenal customer service and you definitely get what you pay for when it comes to lighting. My yard needed an LED upgrade from the original Focus lighting I put in 15+ years ago. Todd and Patrick did an amazing job and just look at the pictures my yard looks Amazing at night. I recommend these guys to everyone. It's not cheap but well worth the customer service and product that you receive. read more

I originally contacted Todd about 2 years ago for a quote along with 2 other companies. Todd was by far the best. Not only is his professionalism and customer service beyond excellent but his eye for design and detail really stood out to me. He never once applied any pressure to "make a sale" and instead his consultation was focused more on finding out what I was looking for and then guiding me through the design process giving his ideas and explanations for his recommendations along the way. It was very obvious he was an expert at what he does and I felt more than comfortable choosing him to do the work. And total bonus I felt he was the best value as far as price goes. Straight up too with no sales games which I appreciated. After we agreed on design he and his crew were at my place within the week and it was done in a day. They did a terrific job of installing and cleaning up and you couldn't even tell they were there, until it started to get dark of course and my yard began to light up. I was very happy with the entire experience. From the consult, to Todd's professionalism and customer service, to the install, the quality of materials used, and the finished product which was and is amazing. About a month ago I decided to add more lights to my back yard. As I had such a great experience with Todd prior, already knew what the price would be, and knew Todd would help me make my vision a reality there really wasn't a point in wasting my time shopping around again. Todd was back out at my place last week and I am happy to say it was the same terrific experience all over again. I love my yard and the lights make it possible for me to enjoy it at night too. I would refer Todd and his company to anyone considering a lighting installation. Not only is the price right but the product and service is great and I felt the experience and the feeling that I was left with from it makes enjoying my lights all the better. Thanks Todd! read more

Todd is fantastic! Super easy to work with and I feel he is the best out there! He did my front and backyard and my wife and I are ecstatic with the results! I recommend that everybody use this company. You can have faith that Todd knows what he is doing and you will be super happy with the final results. I could not be happier. read more

We had an excellent experience with Todd and his North Star lighting team. We installed new lights in our front yard and he had to diagnose major problems with our backyard/pool low voltage system. He was outstanding and dogged in his determination to get the back yard system correct. He was dead honest and professional - and a nice guy to boot. My wife and I recommend Todd without reservation. read more

North Star Outdoor Lighting did a fabulous job lighting up my home for security and it enhanced the look of my home, which now looks like a resort. Neighbors had complements as well. They were timely, professional, fair priced & allowed my in put for additional need on an outside wall. They did a great clean up job when completed. We had a back yard wedding shortly after the install and the exterior lights made the event look magical. I am very happy with North Star. I highly recommend Todd and Crew. Jeri B read more

Todd and his crew are very knowledgeable and they work efficiently. We did not have a big job but Todd treated us as if we did. They fixed our system and it is running better than ever. He is responsive, reasonably priced and a nice guy! Can't ask for much more! read more

Great experience working with Todd. A true professional. The new lights he installed look great and are working perfectly. What would have taken me 4 weekends ended up taking him 3 hours. There comes a time in your life when hiring a professional is worth it. Todd is the professional you should hire to make your front or back yard magical. read more

Working with North Star Outdoor Lighting is a pleasure! In the first 10 minutes we spent with Todd, we were floored at his depth of knowledge and his attention to detail. We asked for his recommendations (our home had no outdoor lighting at all), and he walked the property with us, sharing his recommendations and explaining why he would select certain fixtures and placement, based on the home and landscaping features they would highlight. He asked us questions about how we use our yard at night and what was most important to us, to make sure our priorities were addressed in the lighting plan. His suggestions were thoughtful and he did not recommend an abundance of lighting-- he advised that we could easily add more lighting later, if desired.. The installation was professional and efficient. Todd and Patrick were on time and worked diligently to complete the installation with no disruption to our yard, plantings, etc. The work was done beautifully and nothing was left out of place. We are SO happy with the result. The lighting all around our home is beautiful, distinct, and elegant. It's exactly what we wanted. Todd provides a first-class customer experience from start to finish. I cannot recommend North Star Outdoor Lighting highly enough. read more

I am so happy we called North Star Outdoor Lighting. Todd's knowledge of lighting and light placement is next level. His recommendations to light our home front and back all came out just like he said it would. Todd only installs light fixtures made in America; the bulbs come from a local company located in Cave Creek. When you look side by side at what you're replacing and at Todd's product, you'll see the quality he's installing. The light options are extensive. The installation is professional and just blends into the landscape. With the LED light options now, all 35 of our new lights use the same energy as just 4 of our old lights. And we had a ton of lights on the old system. We've shaved off at least 800 plus watts by replacing our old landscape light system. Todd's prices are very fair, and with the light fixture warranty, you can be rest-assured you won't be doing lights again for a long, long time-if ever. read more

Todd Meyer is one of the nicest and easiest contractors to work with! He responds to calls/emails/texts promptly, is always on time for appointments, and completes projects without delay. Perhaps more importantly, Todd understands your landscaping needs and the products on the market. He takes your budget into account and explains how to "get the most bang for your buck." Unlike his competitors, Todd didn't attempt to persuade us to do all the work at once; instead, he suggested we start with what we needed most, live with it for a while, and then add more lighting later if we needed to. We did exactly that, focusing initially on lighting to improve safety and security, and then bringing Todd back twice more over the next couple years to enhance the aesthetics of our landscaping. I recommend Todd Meyer and North Star Outdoor Lighting wholeheartedly! read more

Todd is a true professional and treats lighting like his art. I had a few quotes, some from landscape guys who 'also do lighting' and some from lighting specialists but Todd stood out among them. His costs were reasonable, he cared about quality and value, and he did everything he said he would do. In my backyard, he helped revive an old system that was there when I moved in but never worked (even took some of the previously installed lights from my front yard that no longer had power to them and added on to the backyard system). He then put in a brand new system for the front yard that took my dark home and made it the nicest looking house in the neighborhood. Lights are a relatively inexpensive way to really give your house that 'nicest home on the block' feel. Todd isn't pushy and doesn't give a salesman vibe - he instantly can envision the right lights, fixtures and angles to make your home look its best and explains what he recommends and why he recommends it. Today everything was installed and my wife and I can't be more happy about his work. Don't hesitate here...if Todd isn't on your list of people you call to get a quote on your lighting, your list is not yet complete:) Thanks Todd! read more

Found Todd's business after reading reviews. Would've given them 10 stars if it was possible! I called him to redo all the lighting in my elderly dads yard, front and back. His quote was fair and he and his crew are outstanding!! They were very kind and patient with my dad and his memory loss. Yard was converted to all led and new path and driveway lighting. Such a difference. Their customer service is quick, had a problem a week later, not their fault and sent someone the same day. He also referred me to a fantastic mister company. I would highly recommend this company. read more

We read the reviews on Yelp when we searched for outdoor lighting a few weeks ago and saw that North Star had been given the best reviews. We contacted Todd, the owner, and had a meeting detailing our wants and Todd's excellent advice. We arrived at a decision and within a few weeks, actually had a fantastic job done efficiently and professionally. Our lighting is awesome and with Todd's incredible knowledge and attention to detail as well as his desire to hear our wants, we now have a fantastic job completed. We can't recommend North Star and Todd enough! Big thanks to Todd! read more

Easily one of the BEST companies I have worked with here in AZ. Todd was super helpful and responsive to my issue and Patrick was phenomenal as well with the repair I needed. I would highly recommend using these guys for any outdoor lighting need!!! read more

Todd at North Star lighting is wonderful. He listened to my needs, walked around with me and gave me some really good ideas. He did not try to up-sell me at all. No pressure. He was honest and clear. He arrived on time, did the work at the day/time scheduled. Re-checked with me, the day after that all was well. My front yard lights look absolutely fabulous, like a creative work of art. Truly awesome experience!! Would highly recommend read more

North Star Lighting was able to quickly install path lighting and up lights in our yard. They charged fairly, worked hard and efficiently, and delivered work that exceeded our expectations. Todd was helpful by suggesting a few tweaks to our layout that really improved the ambiance around our house. After reaching out to three independent contractors who were either overpriced, non-responsive, or tried to sell us everything unrelated to our project, I found Todd by chance from his vehicle wrap. I immediately called and I'm thankful I did. I would highly recommend working with North Star Outdoor Lighting for landscape, indoor upgrades, or any other appropriate project. I'd be happy to showcase pictures of his work. Our backyard is now truly spectacular at night. read more

I have had the pleasure to work with Todd on a more mutual basis as opposed to him doing my outdoor lighting. I can honestly say from start to finish that Todd takes an amazing amount of pride in everything that he does. His product is top of the line, and he has the workmanship that matches or exceeds. Do yourself a favor and CALL TODD!! You will not regret the awesome service you receive from this very professional and personable contractor! read more

Todd came out today to fix several outdoor landscaping lights that weren't working properly. He arrived early, was upfront with his costs and provided some great suggestions with rough estimates very quickly. Highly recommend Northstar for superior service and products. Will certainly use again and highly recommend. read more

Trying to put up my Halloween lights and the outdoor outlet appeared DOA. Called North Star as their company address was right down the street. Talked with Todd to set an appointment for the next day. He suggested that I check my GFCI outlets to see if one might need resetting and sure enough, problem solved. A less honest electrician might have not have made the suggestion and instead collected the service call charge plus who knows what! Thanks, Todd! So happy for the treat instead of the trick! read more

Todd was amazing! At my house the day of my call, fabulous transformation of my backyard plus path lighting in the front within a week. Price was right, service was excellent, thank you Todd! read more
