Patio Lighting in St. Louis

Make your patio the best room in the house — even after sunset.

Overview

Expert Patio Lighting Services

Outdoor patio lighting offers many benefits. It sets an intimate or inviting mood, and lets guests navigate patio areas safely. For properties with patios, lighting fixtures enhance the comfort and usability of the space — turning what might be an under-used outdoor area into a true extension of your home’s living space.

Key Benefits

Why Patio Lighting Is Worth the Investment

Mood and atmosphere

Lighting can be tailored to support either lively gatherings or tranquil retreats, depending on your preference.

Safe navigation

Guests can move comfortably around patio edges, steps, and seating areas after dark.

Extended living space

The patio remains usable well into the evening, supporting entertaining, dining, and relaxation.

Increased home value

A well-lit, functional patio is a strong selling point for prospective buyers.

Energy efficiency

Modern LED fixtures keep operating costs low while providing brilliant illumination.

What We Install

Common Patio Lighting Approaches

Step and ground-level lighting — Low-profile fixtures along patio edges and stairs.

Wall-mounted accent lights — On adjacent house walls or columns to wash light across the patio.

Overhead string lighting — Bistro or café runs (often combined with this service) for canopy effects.

In-ground uplights — Aimed at trees, planters, or features visible from the patio.

Pergola or shade-structure lighting — Integrated into structures over the patio.

Our Approach

How We Install with Why Patio Lighting

01 Patio lighting is rarely a standalone service

Our design process typically considers patio illumination alongside deck lighting, home accent lighting, and string lighting to deliver a coordinated outdoor environment. The result is a property that reads as one coherent design, not a series of disconnected zones.

02 Tailored to your specific patio

Our design consultations are tailored to each property's layout, lifestyle, and budget. We walk the space, understand how you actually use it, and design lighting that supports both the functional and the aesthetic goals.

03 Honest, transparent guidance

Honest, transparent guidance is a stated commitment. We help you maximize your vision while respecting your budget — including phasing larger projects over a cost-efficient timeline when needed.

04 Built for entertaining and everyday use alike

Some patios are mostly used for entertaining; others are everyday hangout spaces. We design lighting that works for both — comfortable enough for a quiet evening with a book, atmospheric enough for a dinner party with friends.

Pairs Well With

Deck lighting (for connected outdoor spaces), string lighting (for overhead canopy effects), home accent lighting (for façade and architectural features visible from the patio), and pathway lighting (for walkways approaching the patio).

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently hired Landscape Lighting Guys to help with my home lighting system, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. I first met Matt while he was preparing a proposal for a large lighting project in our subdivision’s common areas. He took the time to meet with us multiple times, answer questions, and walk through the details of the project. During those meetings, I also had him take a look at my home’s landscape lighting system. Over the years, I had several different companies work on my lighting, and after some recent landscaping work, some wires were cut and pulled out, and fixtures were pulled out of their proper location.  My system needed to be reset and repaired. Matt provided a beyond fair and detailed proposal, and his crew got right to work. What impressed me most was that they weren’t interested in taking shortcuts. Tyler and George explained that they could simply reconnect some of the old wiring, but they weren’t comfortable doing that because they couldn’t guarantee the long-term results. Instead, they took the time to trace the system, replace wiring where needed, and correct several issues left behind from previous installations. It was obvious they cared about doing the job correctly rather than just getting it done. The end result is actually better than what I had before. A few simple adjustments to fixture placement and aiming made a huge difference in how the house and landscaping are illuminated at night. The attention to detail was outstanding. Tyler and George were also incredibly professional and friendly throughout the entire process. They cleaned up after themselves, polished the fixtures, answered questions, and treated my property like it was their own. That level of service is hard to find these days. I’m also excited that Matt offers maintenance and service plans. One of the biggest challenges with landscape lighting is finding someone who understands your system and can maintain it properly over time. It’s reassuring to know I now have a trusted company that can keep everything looking great for years to come. If you’re looking for a company that values quality, professionalism, and long-term customer relationships, I highly recommend Matt, Tyler, George, and the entire team at Landscape Lighting Guys.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We met Matt many years ago when his business was young. His professionalism and dedications were matched by his crew. Years later we used his Company again, after we moved. We were just as impressed. Their suggestions, especially the Bistro Lights over the patio, were spot on. Another great job, And another round of compliments from our neighbors!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I did quite a bit of talking with several lighting companies in the beginning. Some didn’t show up for an appointment, one didn’t call back when I asked to make some changes to the bid, so I looked for someone who was honest, had integrity, and listened to what I wanted, but had great ideas as well. The Lighten guys fit the bill perfectly. My house lighten was done in the winter, but I knew I would like to add to it as soon as my garden was in full bloom. Matt came out today and again I was so pleased with his ideas! It’s going to be perfect! Thanks bunches Matt! Sue

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Matt and his team originally designed and installed our landscape lights in 2021. We were thrilled with his expertise on placement of the lights. The end result turned out great. We still get compliments on our lighting. My favorite part is the yearly check and fix of any issues. His team cleans, checks and repairs lights, wires or any other issue each year. Hassle free for us. Highly recommend this company.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our lights were installed at least 10 years ago and worked fine except we had some trees removed and some were damaged. Those  3 were  replaced and all the others (32) were serviced, cleaned and new bulbs. Excellent work thank you.

Patio Lighting FAQ

Common Questions, Clear Answers

Can patio lighting be added to an existing patio?

Yes. We retrofit lighting onto existing patios all the time — step lights, wall-mounted accents, in-ground uplights. We can usually run wiring without major hardscape work.

Will the patio lighting interfere with my landscaping?

No. Fixtures are designed to integrate with surrounding plantings and hardscaping. We place lighting where it enhances the patio without conflicting with garden beds, planters, or seating arrangements.

Do you do bistro string lights over patios?

Yes — that’s one of our most popular combinations. See our String Lighting page for more on bistro and café-style installations over patios and pergolas.

Can I dim patio lighting?

Yes. We can install dimmable systems, smart controls, and scene-based settings that let you adjust patio lighting for different moods — bright for entertaining, soft for quiet evenings.

How long does installation take?

Most patio lighting installations take a single day. Larger projects combining patio, deck, and other zones can take longer. We’ll give you a clear timeline upfront.
