I have a house on Lake Austin and it came with landscape lighting when I bought it. But it lacked the pizazz the home and property deserved so I began looking into outside lighting companies. Lucky for me, I ran across Joel Mayor and his Texas Outdoor Lighting. Joel came out, looked around and told me exactly what I needed and then gave me a quote. Within days my nice home was transformed into something truly stately. And for the exact number he had quoted me. While Joel is the brains and has the vision I was looking for, the real miracle workers are the installers. They put lights in impossible places and there is no way you can detect how they did it. Truly amazing! Go to their web page and my house is the one on the homepage. read more

4/13/2016 I called the company Texas Outdoor lighting and told me they would give me a quote. Joey and his assistant came over to check out what I wanted which in fact never heard a word what I wanted . They decided to do what they wanted to do to a already established landscape lighting. I said he quoted me almost a ridiculous price of 13,550.00 which in fact his competitor did an amazing job for only 1000 dollars. Joey did mention people usually give him a blank check like the city of San Antonio did to light up the Alamo. I do have to say they were very nice people but would not recommend very high for what you get. read more

These guys simply rock. After a prompt response to schedule a consultation, Joel came out and discussed the possible lighting designs for our backyard, and could not have been more knowledgeable and friendly. Once Joel came back with a design that catered to our exact needs, he was quick to schedule his expert team to come out and get the work done. Joe and his crew were very professional, and went above and beyond to install the system exactly as planned, and tweak settings where needed. They did such a fantastic job, we are planning to have them come back out this spring to design and install outdoor lighting for the front of the house/yard as well. Top notch experience. I cannot recommend Joel, Joe, Denise and the rest of the crew highly enough. read more

What can I say? When you partner with Joel and the rest of the Texas Outdoor Lighting team, you are getting experts in design, flawless installation, beautiful results and a commitment to perfection. From the initial consult, thorough the estimate process and to the finished product, Joel will far exceed your expectations. Professional, friendly, veteran and family owned business, can't wait to refer all the neighbors to such an elite company. read more

My family and I moved out to Texas from California just over 4 years ago. We absolutely love it here in Austin, but it has been extremely difficult to find good help when it comes to home improvement or repairs. For the most part contractors have been flaky and very unreliable from our experience. I just think there is too much work here in Austin and help doesn't have to be as hungry as they do in other parts of the country. When we started looking at lighting options for our new home we just built in Rough Hollow in Lakeway, we went through the whole phone book, interviewing, getting quotes and ideas for our house, yard, outdoor kitchen and pool. After interviewing them all, it was a very easy decision to choose Texas Outdoor Lighting. Their sales consultant is amazing. Her name is Denise and you really can tell from the minute you meet her that she is going to be fun to work with. She is honest, creative and budget minded. She knows her products inside and out and does a wonderful PowerPoint presentation laying out the job and what she suggests you do, keeping in mind your budget and wishes/wants. The owner of the company is named Joel. He too goes out of his way to go above and beyond for you, even when it doesn't pertain to the job or even if he isn't making a penny for his added help. For example, Joel happened to be over helping with the installation of our backyard landscape lights the afternoon we were having our pool barrier inspection. The inspector noticed we were missing an electrical ground for our fence. Joel ran out to Home Depot, got what was needed to pass inspection, installed it, and we passed. He didn't charge me a penny. He was also on-site the entire time everything was being installed. Joel was hands on, up in the trees, and managing his team like a true professional. TOL stands behind their work 100%! We had a wire cut by our landscaper and they came out and repaired it. We had to take down some lighting in our outdoor kitchen so some repairs could be made to the kitchen and they came back after the kitchen repairs were made and put back up the lighting. Denise has been by numerous times to adjust the lighting to maximize the final product. We have had at least 10 people in our neighborhood ask for Denise's information. It is a true compliment to the finished product and to TOL. I cannot compliment them enough. The only problem is this...when you start adding some light to your house or yard, it becomes kind of addicting . We are so happy we decided to work with TOL. Joel, Denise and their entire team are amazing at what they do. And their customer service is second to none. Give them a shot! You will be so happy you did! read more

Mike and his team did an amazing job. From day 1 he was quick to come out, provide great advice, go over the pricing estimate with me and then knock the work out once I decided what I wanted. I just wish I could figure out how to post before and after pictures - it looks like a completely different home! My lights have only been in for two days and already I have had neighbors tell me how much they like them. You can tell Mike is passionate about what he does through the care he provides and the quality of the finished product. I highly recommend him! read more

I called to set up a time to get a quote, no answer-left a message. Later that day, I received a call back from Samantha, but I missed her call. I called back, again no answer-this time a left a message letting them know my availability. Couple days went by, no returned called, so called again, left another message. Another week went by and I never heard from Texas Outdoor Lighting...decided to go with another company. First impressions are everything :-/ read more

We could not have been more pleased with the work; from the design plan to the execution, communication and installation. I highly recommend Joel and his staff! read more

If you are considering anyone to do outdoor lighting for your house and/or yard you'd be crazy not to use these guys. If everyone I dealt with worked as hard as Mike and his crew, and produced this caliber of work the world would be a better place. Mike totally redid the system that I had put in place in last year with another company (lightning struck one of my fixtures and blew the whole setup), and the difference in quality between the two companies is staggering. I wish I could give more than 5 stars. read more

If you are wanting to update an old outdoor lighting system or install new lights around your home or in your landscaping, Texas Outdoor Lighting is the company you should choose. The owner, Joel, and his team were awesome to work with. Joel is the nicest person and his attention to detail is incredible. They added something like 200 lights to our house and landscaping, and each light was installed professionally with no damage to our landscaping. They replaced all of our old wiring and did an exceptional job of burying all lines. Anywhere that we suggested lights should be, even places that I thought would be impossible to add lighting to, was no problem for them. After they finished the lighting, they even hired a professional photographer to fly a drone around our house and make a professional video. I will continue to recommend Texas Outdoor Lighting to anyone and everyone. read more

These guys are great! Joel was very pleasant to work with on a fairly large project (apprx 136 lights I believe). The install was done professionally, the lighting design was well thought out & they even did a little landscaping for free(cutting back over growth to maximize lights performance). I am in the construction industry and I will absolutely continue to refer these guys work & will be using them at my personal house in the near future. read more

I have used Joel and TOL for years. Excellent service and quality fixtures. Beautiful outdoor lighting.

Texas outdoor lighting is great company. Quick to give a thorough design quote, efficient with expert installation and always available for any questions. Our landscape lighting looks amazing! Highly recommend! read more

TOL gave a prompt and complete estimate. The crew arrived on time and did a great job. The system has been flawless for months but we recently had a power outage and surge that caused a malfunction. TOL was out to the house in a flash to replace a timer and check the system. Service after the sale is so important and this company excels. They receive my highest recommendation. read more

We could not recommend Texas Outdoor Lighting more highly. We interviewed four different outdoor lighting companies and compared them by price, product, customer service and communication. We are thrilled that we chose them and the end result is unbelievable. While experts in their field, they were equally interested in learning what we wanted and we felt in control the entire time. The effect that our new lighting system is breathtaking and adds beauty and value to our home and property. Joel, Denise, Mike and the entire team are friendly, professional and are excellent communicators. We know we will definitely use them again when we want to add more lighting and we strongly recommend others to use them. You will not be disappointed - they go above and beyond. read more

We are completely satisfied with the job that Joel and his team at Texas Outdoor Lighting completed for us. From the first meeting to the final night-time review of the installed lights, everything was done professionally and as promised. We got a complete written estimate for the work, and Joel was available to answer all of our questions both before and after we decided to go with TOL. The team of workers was very respectful of our property and left the place completely in order. We were so pleased with the result that we immediately decided to have Joel's team add another string of lights beyond what we originally planned. I recommend Texas Outdoor Lighting without reservation. They really are customer-focused. read more

If anyone in the Austin area is in need of outdoor lighting, I highly recommend Texas outdoor lighting. These guys are professional, quick, and will work within any budget. Joel is a super nice owner with a crew that is just as courteous! Local as well which is a bonus! I love my new lights!! Thanks guys for making it such a pleasant experience. read more

This is a long overdue review. Mike of Texas Outdoor Lighting is phenomenal! So professional, knowledgeable and has a fantastic eye. We get lots of compliments on the lighting. It is subtle, so you notice the trees, not the lights. We are highly satisfied. Thank you, Mike! read more
