Professional Landscape Lighting Installation With The Tennessee Outlaws

Bring Out Your Yard’s Best with Tree-Mounted, Moonlight-Inspired Illumination

The secret to truly magical landscapes after dark? Moonlighting: a powerful yet gentle outdoor lighting technique that mimics real moonbeams filtering through tree branches.


Perfect for properties in Brentwood, Franklin, Oak Hill, and Green Hills, professional moonlighting turns your mature trees into soft, natural night showpieces while adding comfort and visibility.


At The Tennessee Outlaws, we design and expertly install moonlighting systems on mature oaks, maples, elms, and poplars across Nashville. Our local expertise means a solution that both protects your trees and upgrades your home’s value—using the right fixtures for Tennessee’s climate, growth patterns, and neighborhood style.

Looks good, right? You can have this too!

Why Moonlighting for Mature Trees Matters

See the Moonlight Effect, Not the Fixtures:

  • Moonlighting uses small, weatherproof LED downlights mounted high in tree canopies, casting soft, shadowed light below.
  • Homeowners in Brentwood and Forest Hills love how this technique reveals gardens, patios, and paths while hiding harsh wires and bulbs.


Tennessee Properties Demand Expert Moonlighting:

  • Local trees often have broad canopies and layered growth, requiring careful fixture placement and thoughtful branch mounting.
  • Weather impacts—rain, wind, and leaf drop—mean only specialized, low-voltage lights stand up long-term.



Perfect for Every Outdoor Use:

  • Illuminate driveways, play lawns, outdoor living spaces, and woodland paths.
  • Create breathtaking effects in both winter (open branches) and summer (full canopy).

FAQs: Moonlighting for Mature Trees in Nashville

  • How does moonlighting compare to regular landscape lighting?

    Moonlighting creates a true “moonbeam” effect using downlights high in the tree, rather than from the ground up. This produces more natural, gentle shadows and a layered look perfect for backyards in Brentwood, Oak Hill, and Franklin.

  • Will installing lights in trees hurt the tree?

    No. Our installation uses non-invasive straps (never nails or screws) and safe wire routing that allow your tree to grow naturally—and we only choose healthy, stable branches for mounting in local hardwoods.

  • How often does moonlighting require maintenance?

    Just a seasonal check-up, especially after storms or leaf changes. We offer ongoing service for angle adjustments and fixture cleaning to keep Brentwood properties looking their best.

  • Can moonlighting enhance safety as well as appearance?

    Yes! Moonlighting improves visibility along driveways, walkways, and garden paths, helping prevent trips and highlighting property edges without harsh light pollution.

  • What is the cost for moonlighting on mature trees in Middle Tennessee?

    Typical installations for two to four trees range from $1,800 to $3,500, depending on tree size, light quality, and project complexity. All systems are custom quoted for your landscape.
