Artisan Light & Landscape is owned and operated by myself, "T." (Thomas) Meis. The company was established in 1981 as a custom landscape construction and maintenance business. I joined the company in 1983 first as a laborer and soon became a supervisor. In 1986 I became a partner and acquired the business full-on in 1989.

I hold a bachelor's degree in Ornamental Horticulture from California State Polythechnic University Pomona with an emphasis in Landscape Construction and Landscape Design. I spent 8 years as Director of the Technical and Design Department for Nightscaping, the very first lighting manufacturer in the industry. At Nightscaping I had the unique opportunity to work personally with Bill Locklin, the founder of the 12 volt lighting industry.

I hold several certificates in outdoor lighting design from Nightscaping University. Today Artisan Light and Landscape is a custom design and build landscape construction company that focuses heavily on the one-on-one relationship between client and contractor. It is our every desire to provide the very best experience for our clients and to provide for you an outdoor environment that exceeds your expectations.
