Saint Louis · Since 2018
Bring your Olivette home to life after dark.
Olivette is one of those St. Louis County cities that quietly has more character and quality than people give it credit for. Tucked between Creve Coeur to the west and Ladue to the east, Olivette occupies a central mid-county position with quick access to both the West County suburbs and the inner-ring neighborhoods around Forest Park and downtown St. Louis. It’s a comfortable, established, family-friendly community with strong housing values and an unusually beautiful residential streetscape.
What makes Olivette a great landscape-lighting market is the combination of established neighborhoods and substantial individual lot sizes. Many Olivette homes sit on generous lots with mature trees, well-developed gardens, and the kind of settled landscaping that takes decades to develop. That gives us a lot to work with — established oaks and maples for moonlighting, traditional brick and stone façades for architectural lighting, and garden beds that have been carefully cultivated over years.
Olivette is part of the Creve Coeur-Olivette Chamber of Commerce, which speaks to how closely the two cities are connected economically and socially. Many Olivette residents work in nearby Creve Coeur, Clayton, or downtown — the central position of the city is part of its appeal. From a landscape-lighting perspective, that central location also means we can be at an Olivette property in about 20 minutes from our Sunset Hills offices.
Whether you’re in an established Olivette neighborhood, near Olivette Park, off Olive Boulevard, or anywhere across the city’s residential streets, we’d love to walk your property and design something custom.
Here’s what we design and install across the area:
Olivette's mature tree canopy combined with mid-century and updated home styles creates exceptional tree-uplighting opportunities that define the property's nighttime presence.
Established gardens and mature plantings make pathway lighting a natural integration rather than an addition.
Flatter mid-century rooflines accept permanent roofline systems with particularly clean architectural integration.
Olivette is a mid-county established market with significant ongoing renovation activity — many original mid-century homes have been substantially updated, and lighting projects often coincide with broader landscape or exterior renovations. The mature tree canopy is the single most distinctive design factor in this market — uplighting work here delivers more visual impact per fixture than almost anywhere else in the metro.
Olivette sits in the heart of mid-county — established, settled, characterized by mature housing stock and decades of cultivated landscaping. Our designs respect that character. We use warm color temperatures, traditional fixture choices, and lighting placements that complement the established feel of the city's neighborhoods.
Many Olivette homes sit on larger-than-average mid-county lots, with mature trees and well-developed gardens. That gives us real design freedom — uplighting on established oaks and maples, accent lighting on cultivated garden features, and pathway lighting that has room to extend across the full property.
Olivette shares a design sensibility with neighboring Creve Coeur — affluent, established, traditional, naturalistic. We use the same restrained design approach for both cities: warm tones, hidden fixtures, and lighting effects that feel discovered rather than announced.
Olivette is a tight-knit family community. Our designs look beautiful from your own front yard but don't intrude on neighbors. Careful aiming, glare control, and warm color temperatures keep the lighting an asset to the block rather than a complaint.
Why Olivette homeowners hire us for their established mid-county homes
Many Olivette homes sit on larger-than-average mid-county lots with mature trees and well-developed gardens. That gives us real design freedom — uplighting on established oaks and maples, accent lighting on cultivated garden features, pathway runs that extend across the full property.
Olivette sits between Creve Coeur and Ladue, sharing a design sensibility with both — affluent, established, traditional, naturalistic. Our designs match: warm tones, hidden fixtures, lighting effects that feel discovered rather than announced.
Most Olivette homes are traditional architecture — brick fronts, stone details, symmetrical façades. We have deep experience designing lighting that flatters brick and stone with warm color temperatures and well-placed accent fixtures.
Olivette is a tight-knit family community. Careful aiming, glare control, and warm color temperatures keep your lighting an asset to the block rather than a complaint. Good for your own front porch and your neighbor's.
For larger Olivette properties, we map the full grounds before designing any single zone — home façade, primary landscape, garden features, pathways, outdoor living areas all coordinated as one coherent lighting design.

Matt and his team are the definition of a small local business delivering professional quality with a personal touch that bigger firms don’t . The AI generated picture was a genius idea and they priced everything ala carte so there was no pressure to go big on the spend. Install and follow up was spot on - I would recommend them to anyone.Posted on Google![]()
