Unlock Evening Luxury & Year-Round Fun with Custom Backyard Lighting Solutions

Transforming North Nashville Homes After Dark

When Nashville evenings invite you out—whether it’s a cozy fire pit in Green Hills, a lively kid’s birthday party in Franklin, or quiet wine on your Bellevue deck—your backyard should be as inviting, comfortable, and safe at night as it is in daylight.


Yet, too many backyards in North, South, East, and West Nashville go dark after sunset, wasting potential for family fun, security, and memorable entertaining.


With professionally designed backyard landscape lighting, you’ll experience stunning ambiance, serious safety, and the flexibility to enjoy your space on your terms—no matter the season.

Looks good, right? You can have this too!

Why Backyard Landscape Lighting is Essential for Nashville Homes

Standout Features for Every Lifestyle


  • Entertain in Style:
    The right combination of patio lighting, bistro lights, and subtle accent fixtures makes your deck, pergola, or lawn the place to be, no matter how late your gathering runs.


  • Kid & Pet Safe:
    Well-lit play areas and pathways mean safer fun for children and four-legged friends, even near pools, trampolines, or garden beds.


  • Layer Lighting for Zones:
    Break your backyard into zones: a softly lit dining patio, a dramatic firepit area, a moonlit lawn for games, pathways for navigation, and downlit trees for visual drama.


  • Deters Unwanted Night Visitors:
    Good lighting on fence lines, side yards, and gates makes your entire backyard less appealing to intruders or curious wildlife.


  • Enjoy Spring, Summer & Fall:
    LED landscape lighting     stands up to Tennessee humidity, sudden thunderstorms, and winter freezes—so your backyard always glows.

Just see for yourself the elegance lighting can add to your property...

How We Design Exceptional Backyard Lighting (Our Custom Process)

1. Outdoor Lifestyle Consultation

We’ll walk your property with you—day or night—to discuss:

  • How you want to use your space: Cozy dinners, big family gatherings, grilling, kids’ playdates?
  • Existing features: Decks, patios, playsets, sheds, pools, trees, fences, firepits.
  • High-traffic spots and “hidden” corners: Are there dark zones near gates, garden beds, or the property edge?
  • Desired mood: Subtle, dramatic, colorful, or classic warm glow?


2. Expert Lighting Plan — Artistry & Function Perfectly Balanced

We create a blueprint unique to your backyard’s layout and your lifestyle, using a range of professional techniques:


Lighting Types & Techniques

  • Bistro & String Lights: Perfect for overhead ambiance above patios, outdoor dining areas, decks, or around pergolas and gazebos.
  • Downlighting (“moonlighting”): Discreetly mounted in mature trees for gentle, natural pools of light — ideal for large lawns and play areas.
  • Path & walkway lighting: Ensures safe movement between driveways, patios, play zones, and garden beds.
  • Deck & step lighting: Built into deck risers, stone stairs, and railing posts — no more hazardous dark steps or trip hazards during parties!
  • Accent & uplighting: Highlights landscaping, water features, statues, or specimen plantings for visual interest and nighttime drama.
  • Flood & wall-wash lighting: For broad illumination of living/play areas, sports courts, or fencing.
  • Color-changing LEDs: Set the mood for celebrations — switch from classic warm white to bold blues, reds, or greens for parties or holidays.


Smarter Controls for Easy Living

  • App-based & zoned control: Adjust lights for “party mode,” relaxation, or all-night security, right from your phone.
  • Dusk-to-dawn timers, dimmers, motion sensors: Seamless operation that’s set-and-forget for busy families.


Local Adaptations:

  • Moisture-resistant, sealed fixtures: Stand up to Nashville humidity and spring rains.
  • Shielded or neighbor-friendly mounting: Prevent light spillover into nearby homes, even in tight city lots.
  • Tamper-resistant installs for rambunctious kids and pets.

Technical, Style, and Material Choices—How to Get it Right

Fixture Materials Built for Nashville

  • Heavy-duty, corrosion-resistant bronze or marine-grade stainless steel: Outlasts powder-coated aluminum, even in Tennessee’s wet weather.
  • Sealed, integrated LED modules: Lower maintenance, no bulb changes, and nearly zero heat in summer.
  • Low-voltage wiring and transformers: Safer, reliable, and energy-efficient.
  • Expandable design: Plan today for future outdoor kitchens, firepits, or new play zones.


Design Mistakes to Avoid (And How We Prevent Them)

  • Over-lighting or under-lighting key zones (e.g., patio “hot spots” but dark play zones).
  • Fixture glare: Protect eyes, especially for kids and pets playing at night.
  • Improper spacing: Avoid “runway” looks or a clutter of string lights.
  • Ignoring seasonal changes: We plan fixture placement to account for tree growth, spring/summer leaf volume, and holiday add-ons.
  • Forgetting security: Back gates, shed doors, and privacy fences all need light to deter intruders.

FAQs: Backyard Landscape Lighting in Nashville

  • How much does backyard landscape lighting cost in Nashville?

    Costs can vary, from simple patio upgrades to large multi-zone installations. Most projects fall in the $2,500–$12,000+ range, depending on the number of fixtures, features (like bistro string lights, color LEDs), and whether upgrades are needed for decks, play zones, or pools. Every system is fully customized and quoted upfront.

  • Can you install lighting in existing backyards with lots of landscaping?

    Absolutely—we use minimally invasive techniques (shallow trenching, hidden wires, compact low-voltage transformers) that work around established trees, lawns, and beds without disturbing your existing layout or irrigation.

  • Do you offer color-changing or app-controlled lighting?

    Yes! Many Nashville homeowners are choosing smart app-controlled LEDs, which allow you to change the mood, colors, and brightness for any zone, whether you’re hosting a party or winding down for a quiet evening.

  • Will backyard lighting bother my neighbors?

    We design with respect for close properties, using shielded fixtures, downlights, and strategic zone controls. Our goal is zero glare or bleed into neighbor windows—just beautiful light where you want it.

  • Is backyard lighting safe for kids and pets?

    Yes. Our low-voltage systems, in-ground fixtures, and proper shielded installations prevent shock hazards and withstand the wear and tear of active yards, pets, and play.
