I hired Southern Lighting Designs for outdoor lighting work in Lakeway and had a very disappointing experience. The job was never completed, parts of the lighting were left tangled around wiring, and their ladder remained at my house for weeks. I repeatedly called, texted, and emailed Anthony trying to get the work finished and received little to no communication. Anthony did respond once, but after promising to return the following week, he stopped responding again and I've never heard from him. I made multiple attempts to resolve this directly before posting a review. Unfortunately, the project was left unfinished and communication was extremely poor. The ladder is still left in my yard after months and cords and project not completed. read more

Excellent work - we are thrilled with our new landscape lighting in the front and back areas. Anthony takes pride in his work, consults and advises where needed, and does a fine job of installing. We plan to have him back out to do some additional work, and would highly recommend him and this company. read more

I had Anthony place outdoor lighting for me 4 years ago. It was a fairly big job (front of 2 story house, sidewalks and about 20 trees). It made a dramatic difference and I always get compliments on the aesthetic result. Anthony has an amazing artistic eye. Why I wanted to leave a review now is because Anthony comes back every year to check on the lights, reposition them, fix the ones my yard guys broke, replaced the ones the roofers knocked down, and today he replaced a transformer. Most of the materials are still under warranty. Not only is his work beautiful and high quality, the maintenance of it is impeccable. Anthony and Clarissa could not be more responsive and professional. Their company is top notch and I highly recommend them if you are wanting a beautiful transformation of your home and yard. read more

I received prompt response to all of my requests and the day of the work received a timely notice that they were running late. When they arrived, promptly performed the work. Verry happy with the entire process read more

Fantastic service, great price, very communicative, quick scheduling, I highly recommend Southern Lighting Designs! Anthony did such a great job and was very affordable. read more

Southern Lighting Designs is THE company you need for your lighting project! Anthony and his team were amazing from beginning to end. He was super helpful during the initial consult and recommended a great solution for our lighting needs (we wanted "bistro-style" string lights on our upper deck but weren't sure which design was best). We had several lighting companies come out to provide quotes and these guys were ABSOLUTELY the best option for balancing both quality and affordability. We are so happy with the end result. Not only are our new lights beautiful, but we can rest assured knowing that if anything happens to them (weather, etc.) that they will help fix the issue in the future. HIGHLY recommend! Thank you, Anthony! read more

These guys are amazing! They have installed my front lighting and backyard lighting. Incredible attention to detail and worked with me to determine what's best. They know their stuff! Choose this company with confidence that they will be there after the installation for follow up service. They weren't the rock bottom cheapest, but they sure delivered on the service side! read more

I really appreciated Anthony and his responsiveness professionalism and design for our outdoor lighting project. He gave us a very detailed proposal with a lot of pictures so we could really envision what things would look like. He was very polite and prompt and easy to work with. We've been very happy with our system and are really enjoying it it's really added to the "evening" appeal of our outdoor lighting. It's also provided more safety lighting in areas where we needed it. Anthony and his team have been excellent about following up on a few small questions we had after a lightning storm as well. I would highly recommend!!!!!!!! read more

Can't say enough good things about Anthony. He was quick to reply to my Yelp quote, and came out quickly to do an estimate. He walked me through options, and is very knowledgeable and friendly. What we initially discussed was a bit out of my budget, and Anthony made some adjustments and got me set up for the right price. I really appreciate an honest assessment rather than a hard upsell. The work quality is also excellent, I couldn't even see a trace of the buried lines and everything is fastened professionally. The quality of the equipment is also great and comes warrantied. Hire these guys! read more

We had the best experience end to end with Anthony and Southern Lighting Designs. Anthony was very responsive and worked with closely us on the design. We were really pleased that our invoice included detailed visuals, showing the lights in the places we were planning to install them. The installation was seamless, and we really appreciated Anthony's attention to detail and quality throughout the entire process. We will be using Anthony should we plan any other lighting projects, and have been quick to recommend him to friends! read more

I reached out to them on Yelp and we scheduled a free consulting. Anthony came on time and we discussed all the options for lighting for my home. He is very friendly to talk to and listens carefully to all your requirements. The lights they use looked sturdy and bright. He also showed some of his previous work for design ideas. After all our discussion and designing, he took pictures of the home for sending me final quote. Taking a star off because I never heard from him even after a followup and it has been 20 days now. read more

Anthony did a phenomenal job installing cafe lighting from our roof to over the pool. His attention to detail made the final product a part of the house and looks amazing. Anthony was always timely and made sure I was happy with the end result. I reached out to several companies but was impressed with his professionalism and I'm very happy we went with him. The outcome was perfect. I highly recommend anything lighting related to give him a call! read more

I wanted to put in landscape lighting for years in order to make our own use of our yard more pleasant but also to improve street appeal. I have put it off for years because I always heard that it would cost many thousands of dollars. Last year I decided to get some bids and was bummed that many came back at least $5,000 or above. Then I met southern lighting designs. I found them on yelp and within a few days, Anthony was at our house. He came out at least five times during the afternoon to get lights set up and then stayed around so that we could look at them after sunset. He was creative in terms of finding unique solutions. He was able to advise on the most cost-effective strategies. And the final cost could not have been more than $1500. Granted... it was not a huge area... but the prices were unreal. Anthony got our lights set up Lutron (which I think was about $100), I did to my iPhone and on an automatic schedule. I had such a positive experience with him that I wanted to find even more things we could do together. So I persuaded one of my neighbors to light their entire house with it and they had an awesome experience. And now I have Anthony coming back to light our front yard. In sum: - great value: I was going to be at least $5000 it was closer to 1000. - amazing service: I paid only for the fixtures themselves which had a baked-in installation cost. All in the labor seems like it was nearly $0. He came out at least six times to make sure we had the right things set up and to make sure the installation was excellent. He even followed up with my neighbors six months later to make sure they were happy with the lights. - great product: The fixtures themselves are these very elegant brushed bronze fixtures that are very heavy and high-quality, give a very powerful light, and are integrated with a very high tech solution to give me real-time scene selection and dimming. Down side? You might annoy your neighbors now that your house looks so much better than theirs. read more

Fantastic experience with Southern Lighting Designs! Great pricing and work was performed quickly and on time. Highly recommend!!!

Anthony is professional and very responsive. He came and gave me a quote with no frills, meaning, he was straightforward with his estimate and did not try to sell me anything that I won't need. He was fair and reasonable compare to the other lighting company who quoted me a lot more. He also went above and beyond when we had some lighting issues and it was dealt with on a timely manner. I highly recommend Southern Lighting Designs for their professionalism, punctuality and high quality work. They are top notch! read more

Anthony was recommended by a friend and did not disappoint. Everything about the process was clearly communicated and easy to understand. The estimate was easy to understand and he did a great job explaining our options. We love our backyard and the lights take it to another level. Highly recommend A++++ read more

I can't thank Anthony enough for working with me on changing the date. He installed my Ring Pro and charged about 1/2 of what others quoted me. Excellent job! Anthony impressed me with his respectfulness and professionalism. I would use Southern Lighting Designs for any electrical needs. read more

Anthony and his team were fantastic. Great quality and service at a fair price. I'll be calling them for the next project!

After my installer went out of business I needed to find someone new to service my outdoor lighting. I messaged Anthony and received a reply within a few minutes. Anthony was up front and clear about his charges which was refreshing and he scheduled an appointment for a few days later. Upon arriving, Anthony showed he was very knowledgeable and experienced in the industry and was able to fix all of my issues, clean up the install a bit, and add a light for me. I was extremely happy and, more importantly, so was my wife. We will definitely be working with Anthony in the future! read more

Had been in the market for lighting renovations for our new home and luckily we found Southern Lighting Designs! The owner, Anthony answered our inquiry immediately and gave us an amazing deal! After seeing the work completed, we were blown away by the quality and attention to detail! We have already began plans for our next lighting project and are so exciting for our upcoming home improvements! Highly Recommend! read more

Southern Lighting Designs did a great job on our backyard lighting project! They installed naturalistic path lighting in several trees, ran an underground line and set up an outlet in our backyard pagoda, replaced a few ancient motion-activated sconces, and installed a security light on our garage, all in only 1 day. Anthony was kind enough to come out and troubleshoot a breaker issue that popped up after the job was finalized, and solved the problem right away. They were very reasonably priced, courteous and kind, and made quick work of our project. When we do our front yard someday we'll definitely give them our business again! read more

Anthony was awesome to work with from start to finish. Responsive On time Affordable Far surpassed expectations!! House looks amazing. I'll most definitely bring Anthony back in for additional work. Thank you, Southern Lighting Designs read more

Southern Lighting Designs' Anthony Tovar is excellent. He won our business over two other contractors. He replaced our path lighting along our driveway with ten (10) new Volt fixtures, tying into the existing transformer. He set them up perfectly in the daylight. The view at night required no additional adjustments. He added the Lutron Caseta Smart System, which enables wireless control and scheduling. He also installed a Ring Floodlight Camera in about 20 minutes. This guy knows his stuff, so we will be back - Highly recommended ! read more

Couldn't be happier with the products and the installation! We had the front landscaping, front of the house and landscaping along our back wall done, and it livens up and complements the existing hardscape and firepit lighting. Anthony even tied in our deck lighting, replacing 3 older transformers. Great followup customer service, too. read more

Anthony was very prompt to respond and willing to work with me to get things done within my budget. Excellent service overall

Anthony was great in every aspect. He was very responsive to my inquiries and explained things thoroughly. When it came time for the install, everything was exactly as planned and his work was extremely high quality. We will use him again when it is time to light the front of our house! Thanks Anthony. read more

Anthony has been very responsive to the lighting project he did at our house. Right from the original proposal to revisions and coming back for fixing a loose installation. His work was extremely professional and of high quality. read more

I used Yelp to make my decision. Honestly of course you go to the #1 on Yelp to start the process as I did. #1 (I refuse to degrade anyone's business) came out and never gave me a quote after multiple requests. I'm so glad they didn't because Anthony is by far the best. Affordable, honest and fast. Do not look any farther. Southern lights is by far the best. Thank you read more

From start to finish our experience was excellent. We had just purchased a new home and wanted to add a smart system for our lighting, but had no idea where to start. Southern Lightning helped guide us on what options we had, helped us make a plan, and then installed and programmed everything with our Wifi, and even checked in later to make sure everything was going smoothly. I couldn't recommend them enough! We'll definitely use them again as we add more and more to our home. read more
