No Two Properties Alike
A wooded hillside in Brentwood, a formal lawn in Belle Meade, a lakefront descent in Hendersonville, and a horse farm outside Columbia each ask for a different hand — different grade, different trees, different sightlines. Light TN designs to the property in front of us, not to a template that gets the city name swapped in.
We work from a studio in Burns, west of Nashville, and come to you. Daryl Bentfield walks each property himself for the on-site assessment, so the design is drawn on the land — among the actual trees, the real grade, and the architecture you live with. That has held across more than 500 projects completed throughout the region since 2020.
The Same Standard, Every City
What travels from city to city is not the copy on a page — it is the process. You approve a photorealistic rendering of your property at night before any fixture goes in the ground. Installation meets licensed contractor CE-D: 76580 standards.
On Middle Tennessee's heavy clay, we bury low-voltage cable trenchless with the L2 Line Layer — the only machine of its kind in the Nashville market — so an established lawn stays whole. Then we return after dark to aim every fixture on the grade.
Where We Work
The historic district and the new estates of Westhaven and Laurelbrooke.
Rolling, wooded acreage and gated estates where grade sets the design.
New-community landscapes and wooded, creek-cut ground off historic Main Street.
Farms and historic homes lit with dark-sky restraint in a National Register village.
Old Hickory Lake lakefronts, with every beam kept off the water.
Historic-square homes and the lake-and-golf estates of Fairvue and Foxland.
Master-planned Providence streets out to the Old Hickory lakefront.
Five Oaks estates and the cedar groves the city is named for.
Why Homeowners Across Middle Tennessee Choose Light TN
The person who walks your property is the person who aims the lights after dark — in any city we serve.
A rendering of the finished result, approved first, so the system is decided on screen rather than discovered in the yard.
Trenchless wire burial with the L2 Line Layer reaches a large or sloped lot without cutting the turf open.
Family-owned, with lifetime fixture warranties, a one-year workmanship warranty, and a failure rate under 1% a year. Unhappy? You don't pay.
FAQ
Light TN serves Middle Tennessee from its studio in Burns, centered on Davidson and Williamson Counties and reaching Sumner, Wilson, Rutherford, Maury, Montgomery, and Putnam Counties — Nashville, Franklin, Brentwood, Belle Meade, Green Hills, Murfreesboro, Hendersonville, Mount Juliet, Gallatin, Lebanon, Smyrna, Spring Hill, Columbia, Clarksville, Cookeville, La Vergne, Nolensville, and Leiper's Fork.
Light TN is based in Burns, Tennessee, west of Nashville, and comes into each city for the work. Daryl Bentfield walks the property in person for the on-site assessment, so a design in Franklin, Brentwood, or on the Hendersonville lakefront is drawn on the actual lot rather than from an office.
Light TN includes the on-site design consultation at no charge across its Middle Tennessee service area. The studio is built to travel to the property — the walkthrough, the rendering, and the after-dark aiming all happen on location, whether that's in Davidson County or out toward Clarksville and Cookeville.
Light TN designs lakefront lighting on Old Hickory and Percy Priest — in Hendersonville, Gallatin, Mount Juliet, Smyrna, and La Vergne — by keeping every beam off the water and lighting the descent to a dock with shielded step lights. The water stays dark while the grounds and the path read clearly.
Light TN designs within Franklin's historic district, Belle Meade's deep-setback estates, and the gated communities of Brentwood and Gallatin, matching each area's standards. The studio coordinates gate access and community guidelines and uses the warm, shielded, low-output fixtures that historic and formal settings call for.
Light TN buries low-voltage cable with the L2 Line Layer, a trenchless machine and the only one of its kind in the Nashville market, so wire reaches a large or sloped Middle Tennessee lot without trenching. On the region's heavy clay, that keeps mature turf intact instead of cut and reseeded.
Light TN offers the same nine services in every city it serves: landscape lighting, architectural lighting, outdoor lighting design, permanent roofline lighting, outdoor audio, smart lighting systems, installation, commercial outdoor lighting, and trenchless wire burial — usually combined into one coordinated system for the property.
Light TN starts every project with a free on-site consultation. Choose your city from the list above to see how the studio approaches properties there, or schedule a design consultation directly, and Daryl Bentfield will walk the property and outline an approach built for its architecture, grade, and landscape.
What To Expect
We look at the property together, talk through how you use the grounds after dark, and give you a rendering to react to before any commitment. The consultation is free.
