Positive:Professionalism,Quality
Met at site ahead of job to fully scope out work. Built in flexibility should I desire or need to expand in the future. Site crew was on time, considerate and very professional. I have used Unique Outdoor for both landscape lighting and now for mosquito control. Very pleased with the outcome in both cases.

COMMUNICATION:
Decided to keep business with them due to previous homeowner's relationship. Not sure what's going on internally, but the customer service is failing. Call for quotes and service...leave messages, no response. Call back leave message again...still a week later, no reply. Finally get through to schedule site visit and finally get on their calendar. Day of visit, no show, no call. Get them rescheduled to come back out, no call, just a pop up visit, did work and left. No communication AT ALL. I truly understand Covid-19 has changed the course of norm, but communication is

This review is long overdue, but I wanted to share my experience not only with the install, but also with the longevity of the product. When I initially spoke with Greg about my vision for the lighting layout, he was able to offer suggestions that complimented my design much more effectively. Unique Outdoor were also able to complete the installation within a 2 week window of our initial consultation. The installation crew arrived on time, were polite and very quick with the install. The only complaint I have was that they did not go over how to make adjustments on the controls for the lighting
