About Texas Outdoor Lighting
Austin Outdoor Lighting Company
Texas Outdoor Lighting was founded in 2007 by Joel & Beth Mayor. Using an old blue Saturn sedan as our company vehicle, our outdoor lighting company had very humble beginnings working anywhere we could around Austin and Central Texas. Fast forward 18 years, and we now have a team of highly skilled installers and a fleet of commercial vehicles and trailers to complete projects all over the Lone Star State—and even outside of the country.
Throughout our years in business, we’ve always maintained our integrity, honesty, top-notch customer service, and superior lighting designs, whether it’s a $7,000 install or a multimillion dollar estate. We develop creative designs specific to each property we work on, including many custom-built fixtures that we maintain well after we complete the installation.

Mason Hancock
Lighting Designer
I am originally from a small farm town outside of Oklahoma City, and have now lived around Central Texas for about 8 years. I graduated from the University of Oklahoma in 2017 with a degree in finance. Growing up, I worked all sorts of jobs, from stripping cars in a salvage to serving in restaurants to helping produce live events for Sooner Sports. During that time, I learned that I wanted to spend most of my time working outside. Working for Texas Outdoor Lighting designing custom lighting systems allows me to be outside, meet interesting people, and see new beautiful properties almost every day.
