Eamonn Butler – Cambridge
Some years ago I had a garden lighting system installed by another company. But it never really worked very well, and many of the bulbs were in the wrong places or failed completely. A friend recommended Illuminating Gardens and they sorted the whole thing out quickly and intelligently. Now our system is working well and the garden is much brighter.
Illuminating Gardens did a great job. They thought through our needs and discussed what we wanted to achieve. They were obviously very experienced and gave us garden lighting that is not only a pleasure to us but the envy of our neighbours!
Donna Pease – Bishops Stortford

Phil and Matt are very genuine and the nicest politest guys you could meet. We cannot Express our appreciation enough.

Danny Gibson – Stansted Mountfitchet
Phil did a great job installing the lighting, the illuminations have now added a special ambience and atmosphere to our garden whatever the weather and climate are during the evenings.
It has enhanced our planting areas, walkways and overall garden experience so we are very pleased with the result, it has made such a difference.

We are delighted with the work carried out by Illuminating Gardens. Our garden looks wonderful at night and rather than a dark space it now feels like an extra room all the time.
