Bring your Oakville home to life after dark.
Oakville is one of South County’s largest and most established communities. Located in the 63129 ZIP code area, about 25 minutes south of downtown St. Louis via Interstate 55, Oakville sits between the Mississippi River to the east and the Meramec River to the west. Although Oakville never formally incorporated as a city, it’s been a recognizable South County community since the late 1800s — when Justice of the Peace Johannes Schulte named the area after the towering oak trees that still characterize many neighborhoods today.
Most Oakville homes were built from the 1970s onward, and the housing stock reflects that era — ranch houses, Colonial Revivals, and contemporary homes with two-car garages dominate the residential streets. Many properties have generous lot sizes, established trees, and well-developed landscaping that’s been settling for decades. The Mehlville School District serves the community (Oakville High School and Mehlville High School), and the district is part of what attracts families to the area.
Oakville also has some of the best park access in South County. Cliff Cave County Park covers 525 acres and includes the second-longest cave in St. Louis County, multiple trails, and Mississippi River fishing. Bee Tree County Park is 192 acres along the Mississippi River and includes the historic Nims Mansion — a 1929 Tudor Revival estate listed on the National Register of Historic Places. That parkland and natural-corridor character influences how we design lighting here.
Whether you’re in Southbridge, near Cliff Cave Park, along Telegraph Road, or in any of Oakville’s established residential subdivisions, we’d love to walk your property and design something custom.
Here’s what we design and install across the area:
Oakville's deeper setbacks and full driveways make pathway lighting a substantial design element rather than a small add-on.
Consistent two-story residential architecture rewards facade accent designs that read clearly from the street.
Family-oriented neighborhoods drive one of the heaviest annual holiday installation cycles in South County.
Oakville is a stable, family-oriented suburban market with relatively consistent home values and project scopes throughout the area. River bluff properties on the east side carry unique considerations — slope, drainage, and view-corridor preservation often factor into lighting design. Most other neighborhoods follow standard suburban design conventions.
Ranch homes and Colonial Revivals dominate Oakville's residential streets. These houses ask for different lighting approaches than the Tudors and Victorians of inner-ring suburbs. Ranches benefit from horizontal accent lighting along eaves, low-profile pathway fixtures, and uplighting on flanking trees. Colonial Revivals work beautifully with symmetrical placements and warm color temperatures (2700K-3000K).
Oakville is genuinely family-oriented — strong schools, generous parks, and tight-knit residential streets where neighbors know each other. Our designs respect that community character — welcoming, well-placed, and warm without being ostentatious.
Many Oakville homes sit near Cliff Cave Park, Bee Tree Park, or the Meramec/Mississippi River corridors. We design with that natural backdrop in mind — fixtures aimed inward, warm color temperatures, and lighting effects that integrate with the surrounding character rather than imposing on it.
Oakville is a sensible market and our approach matches it. Phasing spreads costs across multiple years, with each phase building on the last. We start with the highest-impact zones and add complexity over time as budget allows.

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![]()
