Landscape Lighting in Des Peres, Missouri
Bring your Des Peres home to life after dark.
Why we love serving Des Peres
Des Peres is one of the most interesting cities to work in across our service area. It sits about 15 miles west of downtown St. Louis and has the rare quality of being both genuinely historic — the city is built on the site of one of the earliest non-Native settlements in Missouri, founded by French Jesuit missionaries around 1700 — and visibly future-facing, with new luxury enclaves like Ballas Ridge bringing brand-new estate construction onto multi-acre lots.
That mix is what makes Des Peres such a rich landscape-lighting market. On one side of the city you have established 1950s and 70s ranch and split-level neighborhoods with mature trees and settled landscaping. On the other side you have brand-new construction on 1.6 to 6.5 acre estate lots in subdivisions like Ballas Ridge or the Enclave at Greenbriar. We’ve worked across the full range, and our approach adapts to the home rather than the other way around.
Des Peres also has some of the best public parkland in the area — Des Peres Park, Pioneer Park, Harwood Park, Sugar Creek Park, plus the Phantom Forest and Bittersweet Woods conservation areas. The trees, gardens, and natural character of Des Peres properties give us an enormous amount to work with. We design every project to enhance what’s already there — the established trees, the carefully landscaped front yards, the architectural details of the home itself.
Whether you’re in Claychester, Ballas Ridge, the Enclave at Greenbriar, or any of Des Peres’ established neighborhoods, we’d love to design something that fits your property and your goals.

Des Peres's brick-and-stone facades hold accent light beautifully, with stone wash effects reading especially well against the architectural materials common here.

Strong recurring holiday demand drives heavy seasonal volume, often booked months in advance.

Generous front yards leave room for substantial pathway designs rather than minimal token installations.

Commercial Landscape Lighting
Local Considerations:
Des Peres is a high-trust, repeat-business market — homeowners often start with one project and expand the system over several seasons. Architectural character is consistent across most neighborhoods (mature trees, traditional builds, well-maintained hardscape), which makes design decisions relatively straightforward but execution standards are high.
Our approach
Designed for Des Peres
01
Working with new construction (Ballas Ridge, Enclave at Greenbriar)
For newer Des Peres estate homes — especially in subdivisions like Ballas Ridge and the Enclave at Greenbriar — we often coordinate with the build team to install wiring and conduit before final landscaping. This gives a cleaner finished look, makes future maintenance easier, and lets us integrate smart controls from day one.
02
Phased designs for multi-acre lots
Ballas Ridge homesites range from 1.6 to 6.5 acres, and Des Peres has a number of similar estate-scale properties. Lighting an entire 5-acre lot in one go can be a significant investment, so we often phase: start with the home façade and primary landscape features, then add zones outward over time.
03
Established Des Peres neighborhoods
Most of Des Peres' housing stock is from the 1950s, 70s, and 80s — ranches, split-levels, and traditional two-story homes on smaller but generously landscaped lots. We design lighting that respects the scale of these homes and showcases the established trees and gardens many Des Peres properties have built over decades.
04
Long driveways and pathway lighting
Many Des Peres homes — especially newer estate homes — have long driveways approaching the house. Pathway and driveway lighting becomes both a functional and aesthetic element. We design lighting that guides guests in, accents flanking trees and landscaping, and provides genuine safety after dark.
Why Des Peres Homeowners Choose Us
Why Des Peres homeowners pick us for everything from Ballas Ridge new construction to 1970s ranch neighborhoods
We coordinate seamlessly with Ballas Ridge and Enclave at Greenbriar builders
For new estate construction on 1.6 to 6.5 acre lots, we run wiring and conduit before final landscaping is in place. That gives you a cleaner finished look, lower long-term maintenance, and integrated smart controls from day one.
We handle phased designs for multi-acre lots
Lighting a 5-acre Des Peres estate in one shot is a significant investment. We map the full property up front, then phase the installation — start with the home façade and primary landscape, then add zones outward over time as budget allows.
We respect Des Peres' 1970s established neighborhoods
Most of Des Peres' housing is from the 1950s, 70s, and 80s. We design with the era in mind — ranch-appropriate horizontal lighting, settled-landscape integration, and warm color temperatures that flatter brick and traditional siding.
Long driveways are our specialty
Many Des Peres homes have extended driveways approaching the house. We design pathway and driveway lighting that creates a real sense of arrival — guiding guests in, accenting flanking trees, and providing genuine safety after dark.
We integrate with your smart-home platform
Newer Des Peres homes often have smart-home infrastructure. We install systems that integrate with Lutron, Wi-Fi controls, app-based timers, and dusk-to-dawn automation — supporting both your tech setup and simpler manual options.
