Vernon Daniel graduated at the top of his high school class before going on to study electrical engineering in college prior to graduating with a degree in landscape design in 1963. After working in Dallas and Houston, Texas for a lighting design firm, Vernon moved to the Washington DC metropolitan area and founded his firm, "Vernon Daniel Associates - America's Landscape illuminator" in 1971 with the help of his wife, Jo Ann.
There are a lot of things to take into consideration when you own a commercial property. Location, design, interior features, parking and landscaping among a myriad of others. One way to enhance the beauty of your property and to set it apart from others is with commercial landscape lighting. In many cases, it is a small investment in comparison to other commercial building and landscaping elements.

DO NOT HIRE THIS COMPANY Our lighting was installed last summer and has never worked correctly. The whole system has shut down multiple times and is currently not working. The first time, one light went out and we were told it was a bad bulb and that it would be replaced immediately. Then I heard nothing. The following week, the entire system went out.
Two employees came to repair it and determined it was a bad transformer. They set the clock and system incorrectly and I had to have another company fix it. During their visit, they mentioned that they had received very little training and were figuring things out on the job. Whenever it rains, the system shorts. I just had another company look at it.
The entire system is wired incorrectly and there is no conduit. It is not up to code. The installation was also a mess. Our job seemed to be fit between other jobs, and even though it was a smaller project, it took 2 months to complete. Different people worked on the project and I was told that one team was fired that had worked on our lights. The electrician charged me for a timer he never installed and loosened cords on my house that blocked my bedroom window.
I had to pay another electrician to fix it. I reviewed the warranty that wholly guarantees parts and labor and asked Vernon Daniels to remove the system and refund our money ($8,025). They refused to work on the system or refund us because someone else looked at the system. DO NOT HIRE THIS COMPANY

We've been very pleased with our Vernon Daniel Associates experience. We have worked with them over the last several years on my residence landscape lighting. From the get-go, and in planning the project, the Vernon Daniel team has been superb in every way. Particular kudos go out to Jim. I've been able to email him with questions and minor concerns I've had and he always gets right back to me.
He recently had his crew out to do some maintenance on my light fixtures and they exceeded my expectations. Hats off for their continued professionalism and dedication to customer satisfaction well after the sale. Our project turned out great and they take the time to make sure it's perfect. We have received many compliments on how our home looks and would recommend them to anyone.

I would highly recommend Vernon Daniel Lighting. After our beautiful garden was finished there wasn't enough lighting in the center of the garden. I called several Lighting "experts." No one came up with a solution which could really solve the problem but Jim with Vernon. He suggested moonlight lighting. I was told by another designer that it wouldn't work. Jim informed that if I wasn't happy he would not charge me and take it down at no cost.
His crew was so professional. Miguel even came back after dark to adjust the lighting to make sure it was perfect. The man has so much patience. It solved the problem and looks beautiful. This type of service is rare is today's world. Thank you Jim and Miguel.
