Meet the Owner
Matt Wooldridge — Founder
Matt's path to landscape lighting is anything but typical. A trained EMT and Paramedic, he spent years caring for people on their worst days before turning his focus to building something with his hands. He grew a successful St. Louis landscaping company, then sold it in 2018 to do what he loved most — design and install outdoor lighting that genuinely transforms a home.
He started Landscape Lighting Guys because he kept seeing lighting treated as an afterthought — installed by landscapers as a side service, with cheap fixtures and no real design behind it. Matt believes St. Louis homeowners deserve better, and he leads every consultation personally.
- Custom-designed for every property — no templates, ever.
- Trained in-house crew on every install. No subcontractors.
- Lifetime support and a complimentary 1-year service package.
"I treat every property like it's my own. If it isn't right when the sun goes down, it isn't finished."
— Matt Wooldridge
The Founder's Story
From paramedic to lighting craftsman.
Before he ever installed a fixture, Matt Wooldridge spent years as a trained EMT and Paramedic — work that taught him to stay calm under pressure, listen carefully, and treat every person in front of him with respect. Those habits never left him.
In parallel, Matt built and grew a successful St. Louis landscaping company. He loved the craft, but kept noticing the same problem: outdoor lighting was being treated as an afterthought. Cheap fixtures. No real design. Crews bolting lights onto a project at the end of the day. The result was systems that looked uneven, failed early, and never did the home justice.
In 2018 he sold the landscaping business to do one thing exceptionally well. Landscape Lighting Guys was founded on a simple promise: lighting deserves a dedicated specialist. Today Matt personally walks every property, designs every system, and stands behind every install.

Great company. This is the second time I have used them. They had to dig up some landscaping to install my lights and replaced the mulch, much better than it was originally installed. Lots of care, great communication! Would definitely recommend.

Matt and team have been wonderful to work with, from Christmas lights to now landscape lighting. They took care of everything while I was away on vacation and went above and beyond to make sure I came home to a well-lit home. Very thankful for their hard-work, exceptional communication and reliability. Highly recommend.
