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.

Our Process

{

The Texas Outdoor Lighting team did an amazing job with our project. They were sensitive to our budget and timing and brainstormed several different options to meet our needs, including discussing the key benefits and differences of each option. Installation went smoothly and post-installation follow-up was very friendly and professional. Highly recommend.

I had a great experience with Texas Outdoor Lighting. From beginning to end they were friendly and accommodating, and were able to get me on the schedule relatively quickly even going into the holidays. Brad was super helpful and made the process of understanding and choosing a lighting design very easy…Would highly recommend this company for your outdoor lighting needs!

My husband and I decided to get outdoor lighting for our home. After talking with Joel, we knew we had the right place. They gave us a quote and scheduled installment. However, they finished another job early and bumped us up by almost a week. That was a pleasant surprise! They were always on time, explained what was happening, made sure we were satisfied, and above all - did a wonderful job.

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.
