Bring your Ellisville home to life after dark.
Ellisville has the kind of quiet, well-established character that makes for great landscape lighting. The city was originally settled in 1836 by Captain James Harvey Ferris, a Kentuckian who built what became known as the Ellis House south of Manchester Road. The bricks for the house were handmade on-site — earning the home the local nickname “the Brick Place” — and the foundations of that early settlement eventually grew into the city of Ellisville, formally incorporated as a village in 1932.
Today, Ellisville is a comfortable West County suburb with about 10,000 residents, 10 parks connected by trails, and a residential character that blends established traditional homes with newer construction. The city sits just west of Ballwin and Manchester, with Wildwood to the west and Chesterfield to the north. That central West County location makes it a natural extension of our service area — we can be at an Ellisville property in about 20 minutes from our Sunset Hills offices.
What makes Ellisville a great landscape-lighting market is the housing diversity. Within the city you’ll find traditional brick suburban homes on quiet streets, newer construction on larger lots, and a number of established neighborhoods with mature trees and decades of settled landscaping. Each home asks for a different lighting approach, and we design each project around the specific property rather than applying a template.
Whether you’re in an established neighborhood near Manchester Road, off Kiefer Creek Road, near Bluebird Park, or in one of Ellisville’s newer subdivisions, we’d love to walk your property and design something custom.
Here’s what we design and install across the area:
Two-story facades give Ellisville homes strong vertical canvas for facade washing and accent work.
suburban lots with deeper front yards make pathway lighting a meaningful curb-appeal investment.
Family-oriented homeowners here invest significantly in backyard entertaining spaces as a core part of the lighting plan.
Ellisville is a steady family-suburb market — projects tend to be balanced front-and-back designs rather than single-area installations. Homes are generally in good condition with established landscaping already in place, meaning lighting work usually integrates with existing beds, paths, and outdoor structures rather than driving the landscape design.
Ellisville has more housing variety than people give it credit for — traditional 1980s and 90s suburban homes, newer construction on larger lots, and pockets of established neighborhoods with mature landscaping. We adapt the design approach to each specific home rather than imposing a one-size-fits-all template.
Many Ellisville homes have decades of settled landscaping — large trees, mature gardens, well-established hedges. We design around what's already there. Sometimes the most dramatic lighting effect comes from a single carefully-placed moonlighting fixture in a mature oak, rather than a complex installation.
Ellisville is a sensible, value-driven market, and our approach matches that. We don't oversell. We tell you honestly what will have the biggest visual impact for the smallest investment, and we'll happily build phased designs that spread costs across multiple years if that fits your budget better than a single installation.
Ellisville sits in the middle of West County, surrounded by Ballwin, Manchester, Wildwood, and Chesterfield. Our designs respect that regional character — warm color temperatures, traditional fixture choices, lighting placements that fit the suburban-residential feel of the area rather than imposing an urban or commercial aesthetic.

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.Posted on Google![]()

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.Posted on Google![]()

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.Posted on Google![]()
