Landscape Lighting in Maplewood, Missouri

Bring your Maplewood home to life after dark.

Why we love serving Maplewood

Maplewood is one of the most architecturally interesting cities in our service area. The city is more than a century old, with housing stock that ranges from Victorian and turn-of-the-century homes to mid-century revivals and contemporary renovations. The community has a growing arts scene, an active small-business corridor along Manchester Road, and the kind of diverse, eclectic character that makes Maplewood feel both urban and neighborhood-like at the same time. 

Maplewood is part of the Mid-County Trifecta — connected to Richmond Heights and Brentwood by both geography and the Maplewood Richmond Heights School District (MRH), which is nationally recognized for its “School as Museum” model focused on sustainability, arts, and expeditionary learning. The city has direct MetroLink access to the Central West End, making commuting easy and giving Maplewood a more urban feel than further-west suburbs. The Greenwood neighborhood is one of several distinct residential pockets within the city. 

What makes Maplewood such a rewarding place to design landscape lighting is the architectural variety. Within a single block you can find a Victorian, a 1920s bungalow, a brick Foursquare, a recently-renovated infill home, and a craftsman bungalow with original details. Each home asks for a different lighting approach — warmer tones and subtle placements for older homes, slightly more contemporary choices for renovated properties. We design each Maplewood project around the specific home, the specific lot, and the specific architectural character. 

Whether you’re in Greenwood, near Sutton Boulevard, off Manchester Road, near Ryan Hummert Park, or anywhere on Maplewood’s tree-lined residential streets, we’d love to walk your property and design something custom.

Featured work

Our Past Projects

Services Available in Maplewood

Every Maplewood property is unique.

Here’s what we design and install across the area:

Patio Lighting

Compact, enclosed backyards in Maplewood become the primary outdoor living space, where patio lighting defines the entire evening experience.

String & Bistro Lighting

Verhead string installs are uniquely effective on Maplewood's small, intimate backyards — they make the space feel finished in a way ground-level lighting can't.

Home Accent Lighting

Bungalow architectural detail (porches, dormers, gabled fronts) responds beautifully to focused, low-profile accent work.

Deck Lighting

Outdoor Pathway Lighting

Holiday Light Installation

Permanent Roofline Lighting

OutdoorAudio

Commercial Landscape Lighting

Local Considerations:

Maplewood is a tight-lot, design-conscious market with significant tear- down and renovation activity. Projects are typically smaller in fixture count but higher in detail orientation — homeowners want a tailored, intentional design, not a scaled-down version of a suburban package. The downtown corridor along Manchester also drives steady commercial lighting interest.

Our approach

Designed for Maplewood

01

Designing for century-old architecture

Many Maplewood homes are well over 100 years old — Victorians, Queen Annes, early-20th-century Foursquares, craftsman bungalows. These houses deserve lighting that respects their period character. We use warm 2700K color temperatures, low-profile fixtures, and placements that complement rather than fight the original architectural language.

02

Architectural variety within a block

Maplewood blocks often have multiple home styles side by side. We tailor each lighting design to the specific home rather than applying a generic neighborhood template. The goal is for your house to look right after dark, not for the street to look uniform — Maplewood's character comes from variety, and our lighting respects that.

03

Pedestrian-aware front yards

Maplewood is walkable, and your front-yard lighting is seen by neighbors strolling by, not just passing cars. We design glare-free lighting that looks intentional from sidewalk view, with warm tones and balanced placements that fit the inner-ring suburb feel.

04

Working with renovated and infill homes

Many Maplewood homes have been extensively renovated while keeping the original architectural footprint. We can design hybrid approaches that work for both — traditional placements for the original architecture, slightly more contemporary fixture styles for the updated elements.

Why Maplewood Homeowners Choose Us

Why Maplewood homeowners hire us for their century-old homes and architecturally diverse streets

We light century-old Victorian and Queen Anne homes correctly

Many Maplewood homes are well over 100 years old. We use warm 2700K color temperatures, low-profile fixtures, and placement strategies that complement period architecture rather than fight it. The goal is to reveal the home's original character, not impose modern brightness on top.

We adapt to the architectural variety on every block

Maplewood blocks often have multiple home styles side by side — a Victorian, a 1920s bungalow, a Foursquare, a recent renovation. We tailor each design to the specific home rather than applying a generic neighborhood template.

We design pedestrian-aware front yards

Maplewood is walkable, MetroLink-connected, and pedestrian-rich. Your lighting is seen by neighbors strolling by. We design glare-free lighting with warm tones and balanced placements that fit the inner-ring suburb character.

We work with renovated and infill homes

Many Maplewood homes have been extensively renovated while keeping the original architectural footprint. We design hybrid approaches that respect the original character while accommodating contemporary updates.

We fit Maplewood's arts-community sensibility

Maplewood's growing arts scene, indie shops, and craft breweries reflect a community that values genuine craftsmanship. Our designs match that ethos — careful, considered, and built to last rather than mass-produced.

I used the Landscape Lighting Guys for my home years ago. They recently came by to replace a few fixtures and bulbs. They are very professional and have done landscape lighting and Christmas lights for a number of family members. Top notch company.

I was skeptical when I discovered my lighting company had closed and I was going to have to find a new landscape lighting company. However, I am so happy with Landscape Lighting Guys - they were very reasonable, repaired all my lights in a very timely manner and responded quickly when I had questions. I will continue to use them and highly recommend them to any one looking for landscape lighting.

Updated October 2026 We have used Landscape Lighting Guys and Santa’s Elves for multiple seasons/projects in the last 9 years. This year we added permanent lights and couldn’t be happier. From the initial meeting with multiple ideas of how to illuminate our home to the completion of installation, the process was easy and they communicated every step of the way. George, Tyler, and Eric did a great job with the install and George answered all of my questions regarding the permanent lighting app. If you want your home to stand out with lighting, contact Landscape Lighting Guys/Santa’s Elves. Landscape Lighting Guys were great to work with! They came up with a great design to brighten up our landscaping and the front of our house. The products they use are made to last and we will use them for all of our outdoor lighting needs in the future.
