Landscape Lighting in Richmond Heights, Missouri

Bring your Richmond Heights home to life after dark.

Why we love serving Richmond Heights

Richmond Heights sits in one of the most central locations in St. Louis County — bordered by Clayton, Brentwood, Maplewood, and Forest Park. That central position gives it an unusual character among St. Louis suburbs: it’s genuinely walkable, with a mix of older homes, established neighborhoods, and proximity to the cultural amenities of Forest Park and the bustling Galleria shopping district. It’s also one of the most varied residential markets in the region, with home styles ranging from charming 1920s bungalows to renovated traditional brick homes to newer infills. 

What we love about lighting Richmond Heights is exactly that variety. A single block can include a 1920s bungalow, a 1940s Cape Cod, a 1960s ranch, and a recent renovation that has updated everything but the architectural footprint. Lighting each home well means tailoring the approach — warmer tones and subtle placements for older homes, slightly more contemporary choices for renovated properties. 

The proximity to Forest Park is part of the Richmond Heights character too. Many homes have a more urban feel than you’d find further west in the county — smaller lots, closer street fronts, more pedestrian visibility. Our designs work with that: front-of-home lighting that looks intentional from the sidewalk as well as from the street, careful glare control so we’re not blasting pedestrians, and warm color temperatures that fit the era of the home. 

Whether you’re near Maplewood Avenue, the Saint Mary’s Lane area, near the Galleria, or in any of Richmond Heights’ established neighborhoods, we’d love to walk your property and design something that fits the home and the block.

Featured work

Our Past Projects

Services Available in Richmond Heights

Every Richmond Heights property is unique.

Here’s what we design and install across the area:

Home Accent Lighting

Richmond Heights's block-by-block architectural variety makes each accent design genuinely custom, with porch and entryway lighting carrying most projects.

Outdoor Pathway Lighting

Shorter front yards still benefit from well-placed pathway runs that read as intentional rather than decorative.

Patio Lighting

Compact backyards become primary outdoor living spaces here, where patio lighting drives most of the project's usable evening footprint.

Deck Lighting

Holiday Light Installation

Permanent Roofline Lighting

String Lighting

Bistro Lighting

Outdoor Audio

Commercial Landscape Lighting

Local Considerations:

Richmond Heights is a varied inner-ring market with significant differences in scale and architecture between neighborhoods — a project on Bellevue can look nothing like a project two blocks away near the Galleria. Smaller lots mean projects are typically compact, but detail orientation is high. The Galleria-adjacent area also generates commercial lighting interest for storefronts and mixed-use buildings.

Our approach

Designed for Richmond Heights

01

Designing for smaller, central-county lots

Richmond Heights lots are generally smaller and more urban than further-west suburbs. That means fixtures have to be scaled down and placed precisely. We use lower-output fixtures, careful aiming, and warm color temperatures that don't overwhelm small front yards or spill into neighbor properties.

02

Architectural mix on every block

Richmond Heights blocks often have multiple home styles side by side — a bungalow next to a Cape Cod next to a renovation. We tailor each lighting design to the specific home rather than applying a generic neighborhood template. The goal is for your house to look right after dark — not for the street to look uniform.

03

Pedestrian-aware front yards

Because Richmond Heights is walkable, your front-yard lighting is seen by neighbors strolling by, not just passing cars. We design glare-free lighting that looks intentional and balanced from sidewalk view — no jarring brightness or poorly-aimed fixtures pointed at the street.

04

Working with renovated and infill homes

Many Richmond Heights homes have been renovated extensively while keeping the original architectural footprint. We design lighting that complements both the original character and any contemporary updates — sometimes a hybrid approach, with traditional placements but slightly more modern fixture styles.

Why Richmond Heights Homeowners Choose Us

Why Richmond Heights homeowners pick us for their inner-ring homes and walkable streetscape

We scale lighting for smaller, central-county lots

Richmond Heights lots are urban-scaled. We use lower-output fixtures, precise aiming, and warm color temperatures that fit the home and don't spill onto neighboring properties. Small lots need more precision, not less.

We adapt to architectural variety on every block

A single Richmond Heights block can include a 1920s bungalow, a 1940s Cape Cod, a 1960s ranch, and a recent renovation. We tailor each lighting design to the specific home rather than applying a generic neighborhood template.

We design pedestrian-aware front yards

Richmond Heights is walkable. Your lighting is seen by neighbors at sidewalk-level, not just from passing cars. We design glare-free lighting with warm tones and balanced placements that fit the inner-ring suburb character.

We work with renovated and infill homes

Many Richmond Heights homes have been extensively renovated while keeping the original architectural footprint. We design hybrid approaches — traditional placements for the original architecture, slightly more contemporary fixture styles for updated elements.

We're 15 minutes away and easy to reach

Quick consultations, quick installations, quick service calls. Richmond Heights is well within our core service area, which means responsiveness you can count on.

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.

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.

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.

Richmond Heights FAQ

Common questions

Do you offer free estimates in Richmond Heights?

Yes. Matt or one of our designers will walk your property at no cost and put together a written proposal.

Absolutely. Smaller lots require precise fixture choices and careful aiming. We use lower-output fixtures and warm color temperatures that fit the scale of the home and don’t spill into neighbor properties.

Most Richmond Heights projects are completed in a single day, given the smaller lot sizes. Larger or more complex designs can take 1-2 days.

Yes — period bungalows are one of our favorite project types. We use warm color temperatures, low-profile
fixtures, and lighting placements that respect the home’s era and character.

Yes. Whole-property lighting can absolutely work on smaller lots — sometimes more dramatically than on large ones, because every fixture has a clear purpose and visible effect.
