Landscape Lighting Design & Installation
Landscape Lighting Design & Installation in Nashville
Landscape lighting in Nashville starts with a walk around the property at dusk, then a low-voltage system of fixtures, buried wire and a transformer laid out to light what is worth seeing.
- Custom lighting design for your property
- Professional-grade brass and copper fixtures
- Warm, glare-free LED light
- Buried wiring and a properly sized transformer
A design, not a box of stakes
Good landscape lighting is designed, not just installed. We walk the property at dusk, decide what’s worth lighting — the facade, specimen trees, entry, paths and outdoor living areas — and lay out fixtures and beam angles to light those without glare or hot spots. Then we bury the low-voltage wiring, set a correctly-sized transformer and aim every fixture by eye at night.
We use professional brass and copper fixtures with warm, dimmable LED lamps that sip power and last for years, not the throwaway kits from a big-box store.
Cost and what to expect
Most residential landscape lighting projects start around $2,500 and scale with the number of fixtures and the size of the property. LED keeps the running cost low, and a professionally installed system with buried wire and a real transformer is what separates lighting that lasts from lighting that fails in a season.

Landscape Lighting Design & Installation questions
How much does landscape lighting cost in Nashville?
Most professional landscape lighting projects in the Nashville area start around $2,500 and scale with the number of fixtures and the size of the property. Professional brass and copper fixtures with buried wiring and a properly sized transformer cost more up front than a big-box kit, but they last for years instead of a season. You get one exact quote after a dusk design walk.
Should landscape lighting be warm or cool white?
Warm. A warm white looks like lamplight on brick, stone and leaves, while a cool white turns plants gray and makes a front yard look like a parking lot. The lamps are warm and dimmable, so a fixture that looks too strong on the first night can be turned down rather than swapped.
Do I need a transformer for landscape lighting?
Yes. Low-voltage fixtures cannot run straight off a household circuit, so a transformer sits between the outlet and the wire. It is sized for the number of fixtures and the length of each run; one that is too small leaves the far fixtures dim and has to be replaced the first time you add on.
What does a landscape lighting design include?
A walk-through of the property at dusk, a choice of what is worth lighting (the facade, specimen trees, the entry, the paths and the places you sit outside) and a layout of fixtures and beam angles for each. The design also fixes where the wire runs and what size transformer the system needs, and the quote is priced from it.
