About Texas Outdoor Lighting
Texas Outdoor Lighting was founded in 2007 by Joel & Beth Mayor. Using an old blue Saturn sedan as our company vehicle, our company had very humble beginnings working anywhere we could around Central Texas. Fast forward 19 years and we now have a fleet of commercial vehicles and trailers to install and service projects all over the Lone Star State. We have done our best to maintain our integrity, honesty, top notch customer service and best looking lighting designs over the years, no matter if it’s a $7,000 install or a multi-million dollar estate.

Joel Mayor
Owner
Born and raised in the Lake LBJ area, Joel graduated from Llano High School in 2000 before moving to San Antonio to attend UTSA. Soon after 9/11, he left college to join the U.S. Navy and serve our country, as his father and grandfather had done before him. After his enlistment was over, Joel had worked for a landscape company in Richmond, Virginia where he first learned about landscape lighting. Once he moved back to Texas and started a family, Joel started Texas Outdoor Lighting to continue his passion in outdoor lighting and supporting his growing family.

Mason is originally from a small farm town outside of Oklahoma City, and has now lived around Central Texas for about 8 years. He graduated from the University of Oklahoma in 2017 with a degree in finance. Growing up, he 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, he learned that he 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.
