A New Vision for Nighttime Living in Nashville

Imagine walking up to your Nashville home or business after sunset. Instead of a blank, shadowy exterior, you’re welcomed by softly glowing path lights, dramatic uplighting that shows off stately brickwork or mature maples, and elegant string and patio lighting framing every gathering space. Your property feels safe, stunning, and undeniably inviting—no matter the season or storm.



The Tennessee Outlaws are Greater Nashville’s outdoor lighting experts, blending artistry with robust engineering to deliver custom lighting solutions that elevate homes, businesses, and public spaces alike. Our work redefines curb appeal and nighttime utility—tailored for Music City’s climate, architecture, and outdoor lifestyle.

Unique Lighting Challenges in Nashville’s Neighborhoods

Tennessee’s weather, plant life, and housing stock demand specialized landscape lighting solutions:


  • Ever-Growing Landscapes:
    Forest Hills, Green Hills, and Brentwood feature mature trees and lush beds—casting complex shadows and changing the play of light with every season.


  • Storms and High Humidity:
    Outdoor lights must withstand downpours, wind, and seasonal extremes. Not all fixtures or connections are built for Nashville weather.


  • Historic & Modern Architecture:
    Belle Meade and Germantown’s ornate exteriors call for subtle, architectural lighting, while downtown and Franklin’s sleek lines benefit from modern accent and peak lighting.


  • Safety Hazards:
    Sloped yards in Oak Hill or Spring Hill, winding drives in Leipers Fork—every property type has unique risks that professional security lighting can solve.


DIY often disappoints:
Solar stick lights fade, tangled extension cords cause tripping hazards, and box-store installs leave “dark spots.” True outdoor landscape lighting, from concept to install, demands expertise and locally-informed design.

Residential vs. Commercial: Lighting Redefined for Every Property

For Homeowners: The Art & Safety of Curb Appeal


  • Garden Lighting: Showcase landscape beds, ponds, and fountains with underwater and accent lighting.
  • Patio, Deck & Pool Area Lighting: Create inviting outdoor living zones for family, guests, and celebrations.
  • Pathway & Entrance Lighting: Make arrivals and walkways secure, eliminate hazards, and highlight landscaping and architecture.
  • Custom Options:
  • Uplighting for stately trees
  • Moonlighting for mature canopies
  • Bistro string lights for backyard parties
  • Downlighting for subtle perimeter security


Every Outlaw residential system is carefully designed for aesthetic subtlety, enhanced safety, and unbeatable reliability.

For Businesses & Public Spaces: Safety, Function, & Nighttime Brand

  • Hospitality Lighting: Illuminate patios, courtyards, garden dining, and event spaces with ambiance lighting and architectural highlighting.


  • Office & Retail: Multi-zone lighting for signage, walkways, entrances, and parking—delivering security for staff and visitors.


  • Multi-Family/HOA: Path and area lighting, stair lighting, and amenity space mood lighting for community function and tenant satisfaction.


Our licensed, insured team provides durable, low-maintenance lighting systems that meet all regulatory codes—and maximize curb appeal for your commercial property investment.

The “Visual Multiplier” Effect: Lighting Sets Every Home Apart

Professional landscape lighting does more than fight the dark:


  • Transform Ordinary to Captivating:
    Uplighting brings out the architecture of Franklin’s heritage homes, while downlighting accentuates the modern lines of new builds in Antioch or Mt. Juliet.
  • Magnify Curb Appeal:
    Listings with high-quality lighting sell faster and show better in professional photos, according to Nashville-area realtors.
  • Outdoor Living Expansion:
    Patios, outdoor kitchens, and decks become year-round destinations when illuminated with ambient and string lighting.
