Mount Juliet calls itself the city between the lakes, sitting between Old Hickory and Percy Priest, and it has grown faster than almost anywhere in Middle Tennessee. Most of that growth is master-planned — Providence and the streets around it, where the houses are new and the lots can look alike. Landscape lighting is one of the few things that sets a property apart on a street like that. Light TN is a landscape lighting designer based in Burns.
At the water it is a different job. Old Hickory frontage on the east side gives some lots a slope to the lake, and there the aim has to stay off the surface — a beam tilted too high reads as a glare line from a passing boat. We light the descent and the shoreline trees, shielded and aimed down the bank, so the lawn glows and the water stays dark.
