“Great work overall. The team was professional and the lighting looks fantastic. Only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is we had to reschedule once due to weather, but they were very accommodating and the final result was worth the wait.”

“We spent months researching landscape lighting companies near us before choosing Fireflies, and we are so glad we did. Our waterfront home on Lake Wylie needed lighting that could handle the moisture and weather exposure. John recommended marine-grade brass fixtures and designed a plan that illuminates our home from the street side and the lake side. The dock lighting is absolutely beautiful at night, and we have received countless compliments from neighbors and boaters passing by. The installation was meticulous - every wire is hidden, every fixture is perfectly placed. This is the best investment we have made in our home.”

“Our Myers Park home was built in the 1940s and has beautiful mature oaks and a classic Georgian facade. We needed a landscape lighting company in Charlotte that understood historic homes. John immediately got it. He designed uplighting for our trees that creates a canopy effect overhead, accent lighting that highlights the brick and columns without overpowering the architecture, and soft path lighting through our garden. The effect is sophisticated and elegant, exactly what Myers Park deserves. Several neighbors have already called Fireflies after seeing our home at night.”

“We just moved into a new construction home in Baxter Village and wanted landscape lighting that would make our property stand out. Fireflies designed a comprehensive lighting plan that includes architectural uplighting on the front facade, pathway lighting along our walkways, accent lighting in our flower beds, and spotlights on our specimen trees. The smart controls let us set schedules and adjust everything from our phones. Our home looks like a model home every night. John and his team were professional, clean, and finished ahead of schedule. We could not be happier with the results.”

“After getting quotes from three different landscape lighting contractors in the Charlotte area, we chose Fireflies and it was the right decision. The other companies gave us generic proposals with standard fixture packages. John came out, walked our property, and designed a custom plan that addressed our specific goals: security lighting along the side yard, dramatic uplighting on our stone facade, and romantic ambiance lighting around our pool deck. The quality of the fixtures is noticeably superior to what we have seen at neighbors' homes, and the free nighttime demo gave us complete confidence before we committed. Outstanding service from start to finish.”

“Our Eastover property has over an acre of mature landscaping with specimen magnolias, crepe myrtles, and a formal garden. Finding a landscape lighting company that could handle the scope and sensitivity of our project was critical. John and the Fireflies team exceeded every expectation. They uplighted our trees with precision, created subtle moonlighting effects through the canopy, illuminated our garden paths without disrupting the plantings, and highlighted architectural details on our Colonial Revival home. The result transforms our property into something truly magical after dark. The attention to detail during installation was remarkable. Absolutely the best landscape lighting company in Charlotte.”

“We updated our SouthPark home last year with new landscaping and knew we needed professional lighting to complete the look. Fireflies was recommended by our landscape architect, and the collaboration was seamless. John worked from the landscape plan to position fixtures that would grow with our plantings. The LED technology he uses produces a warm, natural light that makes everything look incredible. We especially love the smart controls that dim the lights later in the evening for a more intimate feel. Professional, knowledgeable, and a pleasure to work with.”

Why Our Customers Love Us
Five reasons homeowners across Charlotte and Lake Wylie choose Fireflies as their landscape lighting company
Personal Attention from the Owner
Unlike large corporate lighting companies, Fireflies is owned and operated by John Harrison, who is personally involved in every project from consultation to completion. Our customers consistently mention John by name in their reviews, praising his attentiveness, design expertise, and genuine care for their satisfaction. When you hire Fireflies, you work directly with the owner, not a rotating staff of salespeople and subcontractors.
“John took the time to understand exactly what we wanted and delivered perfectly.”
Free Nighttime Demonstrations
Our complimentary nighttime demonstrations set us apart from every other landscape lighting company in the Charlotte and Lake Wylie area. Before you spend a single dollar, we set up temporary lighting on your property so you can see exactly how your home will look. This eliminates guesswork, builds confidence, and ensures the final design matches your vision perfectly. Our customers call this the deciding factor in choosing Fireflies.
“The free nighttime demo was incredibly helpful in making our decision.”
Meticulous, Clean Installations
The quality of our installation work is something our customers notice and appreciate immediately. Every wire is buried, every connection is sealed, and every fixture is positioned with precision. During the day, you will not see any evidence of the lighting system. Our crews leave your property cleaner than they found it, and our attention to detail during installation ensures your system performs reliably for years without maintenance issues.
“The installation was cleaner than we expected - you can't even see the wires.”
Premium Quality That Lasts
Our customers appreciate that we use only solid brass and copper fixtures from top manufacturers. These premium materials do not corrode, fade, or break like cheaper alternatives. The warm LED light they produce looks natural and inviting, creating the ambiance our customers envisioned. Paired with our 1-year service warranty and manufacturer warranties exceeding 10 years, our customers know their investment is protected.
“The quality of the fixtures is noticeably superior to what we have seen at neighbors' homes.”
Transformative Results
The most common word our customers use to describe their experience is 'transformed.' Professional landscape lighting does not just add light to your property, it fundamentally changes how your home looks and feels after dark. Properties that were dark and unwelcoming become warm, inviting, and visually stunning. The emotional impact of seeing your home beautifully illuminated for the first time is something our customers remember and share with everyone they know.
“Best decision we made for our home's curb appeal. Worth every penny!”
Featured Projects
Detailed stories from notable landscape lighting projects across the Charlotte metro and Lake Wylie area, showcasing the variety and quality of our work
Lakefront Estate Complete Illumination
This stunning Lake Wylie waterfront estate required a comprehensive lighting design that showcased the home from both the street and the lake. We installed 42 marine-grade brass fixtures including architectural uplighting on the stone and cedar exterior, dock and seawall illumination, pathway lighting through the tiered landscape, and accent lighting on mature cypress trees along the shoreline. The homeowners wanted their property to be a beacon on the lake without being overwhelming, and our warm LED fixtures achieve exactly that effect. Smart controls allow them to adjust zones independently, dimming the dock lights while keeping the architectural uplighting at full brightness. The customer told us it was the single best investment they had ever made in their home.
Historic Georgian Revival Transformation
This 1938 Georgian Revival home in Myers Park presented a unique challenge: how to illuminate a historic property without compromising its architectural integrity. Working closely with the homeowners, we designed a lighting plan that celebrates the home's original character. We uplighted four towering willow oaks that frame the property, creating a dramatic canopy effect. The brick facade receives warm grazing light that highlights the texture and craftsmanship of the masonry. Recessed path lights guide visitors along the flagstone walkway through a formal boxwood garden. The result earned praise from neighbors and the local preservation society. The homeowner told us she finally feels like her home looks as beautiful at night as it does during the day.
Modern Waterfront Home with Outdoor Living
This contemporary home in Tega Cay features expansive outdoor living areas including a covered patio, outdoor kitchen, fire pit, and infinity-edge pool overlooking Lake Wylie. The homeowners wanted lighting that enhanced their outdoor entertaining while creating a cohesive look from the street to the waterline. We designed a layered lighting approach with architectural downlighting on the covered patio, accent uplighting on ornamental grasses and Japanese maples, underwater pool lighting, and strategic landscape lighting that draws the eye toward the lake view. The outdoor kitchen area has dedicated task lighting for cooking and dining, with separate smart controls so the homeowners can create different moods for different occasions. They host weekly gatherings and told us the lighting completely transformed how they use their outdoor space.
Executive Estate Security and Elegance
This Ballantyne executive estate required landscape lighting that served dual purposes: creating dramatic curb appeal while enhancing security around the perimeter. We installed a comprehensive system featuring uplighting on the home's stone and stucco facade, specimen tree lighting on mature magnolias and crepe myrtles, and strategically placed security-focused fixtures along the side yards and rear property line. The driveway is lined with low-profile path lights that create an inviting approach, while motion-activated zones provide additional security where needed. The homeowner, a corporate executive, told us that his home now looks like it belongs in an architectural magazine and that the security lighting gives his family peace of mind when traveling. This project perfectly demonstrates how professional landscape lighting can be both beautiful and functional.
Family-Friendly Backyard Oasis
This Fort Mill family wanted to extend their outdoor living into the evening hours so their children could play safely after dark while the parents enjoyed the patio. We designed a family-friendly lighting plan that illuminates the play area with soft, even light, creates a cozy atmosphere around the patio and pergola, and highlights the beautiful landscaping that frames their backyard. Special attention was paid to eliminating harsh shadows and dark spots where children might trip or stumble. The pathway lighting connects the home to the backyard seamlessly, and the pergola features warm downlighting that makes the dining area feel like an outdoor room. The family told us they now spend three to four additional hours outside every evening, and the children love the way the garden lights make their backyard feel like an adventure. It is projects like this that remind us why we love what we do.
