Custom outdoor lighting designed around your home and landscape
With professional landscape lighting in Oxford, MS, you can highlight the architecture and landscaping you love, safely welcome guests along driveways and walkways, and enjoy your pool, patio, porch, and other outdoor spaces well into the evening.
At Mid South Outdoor Lighting & Audio, outdoor lighting isn't an add-on service. It's what we specialize in.
Since 2011, we've designed, installed, maintained, and repaired custom outdoor lighting systems with one goal in mind: creating a property that looks just as impressive after dark as it does during the day.

No two properties should have the same outdoor lighting design.
That's especially true around Oxford, where established homes with mature landscaping sit alongside newer custom homes, historic architecture, wooded acreage, and large estate properties.
A home near North or South Lamar may call for subtle architectural lighting that complements its character rather than overpowering it. Larger properties around Grand Oaks and the Country Club can create opportunities for layered lighting through mature trees, landscaping, long driveways, and outdoor living areas.
Head outside of town toward Taylor or wooded properties such as those around Splinter Creek, and the design changes again. Tree canopies, winding drives, rolling terrain, and changes in elevation can all become part of the finished effect.
That's why we don't start by deciding how many fixtures to install.
Our outdoor lighting design process starts by looking at your property.
One of the biggest misconceptions about outdoor lighting is that a brighter property is a better-lit property.
It's not.
Too many fixtures, overly bright lights, visible glare, or rows of evenly spaced path lights can distract from the very home and landscape you're trying to showcase.
Professional lighting design is about knowing both what to illuminate and what to leave dark.
Founder and Certified Outdoor Lighting Designer Jesse Wisley considers details like beam spread, color temperature, fixture location, mounting height, viewing angles, shadows, architecture, and landscaping when developing a design.
Sometimes moving one fixture, changing its angle, or choosing not to light something at all makes a bigger difference than adding several more lights.
“The goal is for you to notice the property—not the light fixtures.”
- Jesse Wisley
Whether you're starting with a completely dark property or improving an existing system, we'll design around how you want your home to look, feel, and function at night.
Highlight mature trees, planting beds, natural areas, and other landscape features with landscape lighting techniques such as uplighting, downlighting, and moonlighting without making the property feel overlit.
Bring attention to the details that make your home distinctive with lighting designed around its architecture, proportions, materials, and surrounding landscape.
Make long driveways, walkways, steps, entrances, and changes in elevation easier to navigate while creating a welcoming sense of arrival.
Enjoy patios, pools, porches, kitchens, and gathering spaces well after sunset with lighting that creates atmosphere without making the space feel overly bright.
We also provide security-oriented lighting, commercial outdoor lighting, and other custom applications based on your property.
Maybe your property isn't starting from scratch.
Fixtures may be failing. Wiring may be unreliable. Shrubs may have grown in front of lights. Trees may have outgrown the original design. Or perhaps the system has always felt too bright, dated, or poorly planned.
We provide outdoor lighting repairs, maintenance, upgrades, and redesigns in Oxford, including systems originally installed by another company.
We'll evaluate what you have and help you determine whether it makes sense to repair and improve the existing system or start fresh with a new design.
And because landscapes keep changing after installation, we can continue maintaining the system over time by cleaning and repositioning fixtures, adjusting lighting as plants grow, and checking wiring and connections.

Lighting can transform how your Oxford property looks after dark. Professional outdoor audio can change how it feels.
We design and install outdoor audio systems for patios, pools, porches, and entertaining areas so you can enjoy clear, balanced sound throughout the space without relying on a portable speaker or blasting music from one location.
For second homes and game-day properties, easy-to-use lighting and audio controls can also make it simpler to get your property ready for a weekend in Oxford.
Outdoor lighting is our specialty.
Founder Jesse Wisley has worked in outdoor lighting since 2008 and founded Mid South Outdoor Lighting & Audio in 2011.
After building the company’s reputation for professional outdoor lighting throughout the Greater Memphis area, Mid South is bringing that same design expertise and long-term service approach to Oxford.
Jesse also completed the two-year Certified Outdoor Lighting Designer program through the Association of Outdoor Lighting Professionals.
That experience guides everything from fixture placement and glare control to how the lighting will work with your architecture and landscaping over time.
And our involvement doesn't end after installation.
We provide ongoing repairs, upgrades, and maintenance to help keep your system looking and performing the way it was designed to.
