01
We specialize in uplighting design
Uplighting is our most-installed service for a reason. We've designed it across every kind of home in St. Louis — Victorian, Tudor, Colonial Revival, mid-century ranch, modern contemporary. Each architectural style needs a different approach, and we adapt accordingly.

03
Tailored to complement your home's features
Our services are tailored to complement the unique features of each home and the surrounding landscaping. We don't apply templates. Each design is built specifically for the home in front of us.

Premium brass fixtures with lifetime warranty. Powder-coated aluminum options with 10-year warranty. Commercial-grade transformers. Energy-efficient LEDs. Our systems are designed to perform beautifully for decades, not just for a few seasons.
What We Install
Common Techniques We Use
Uplighting — Ground-based fixtures that wash light upward onto façades, columns, trees, and architectural features.
Down-lighting / moonlighting — Fixtures placed high in mature trees that cast soft light downward, mimicking moonlight through the canopy.
Wall washing — Even, broad illumination across wide surfaces like brick or stone façades.
Spotlighting — Focused beams that highlight specific features — a statue, an architectural element, a notable tree.
Silhouette lighting — Backlighting that creates striking shadows and dramatic outlines.

Home Accent Lighting FAQ
Common Questions, Clear Answers
Will uplighting damage my exterior or my trees?
No. We use professional tree-mounting hardware that doesn’t damage bark, and ground-mounted fixtures are placed without harming landscaping. Our installations are designed to be permanent and care-free for years.
How bright will my house look?
Most homeowners are surprised by how subtle effective uplighting actually is. We design for atmosphere and architectural emphasis, not floodlight brightness. Warm color temperatures and carefully aimed fixtures create a sophisticated look without being overwhelming.
Can I choose color temperature?
Yes. We offer 2700K (warm), 3000K (neutral warm), and 4000K (slightly cooler) options. Most residential homes look best with 2700K warm white, which flatters brick, stone, and traditional architecture.
Can I add color-changing lights for holidays?
Yes. We can integrate color-changing LED fixtures and smart controls that let you switch from everyday warm white to red and green for the holidays, or any custom color or pattern.
How long does installation take?
Most residential home accent installations take 1-2 days. Larger or more complex designs can take longer. We’ll give you a clear timeline upfront.
