Landscape Lighting · Murfreesboro, TN
Light TN, a Burns design studio, lights both the new estates and the established streets of Murfreesboro and Rutherford County.
Landscape Lighting in Murfreesboro, TN
Murfreesboro pulls in two directions. Out toward Indian Hills and Shelton Square, the estates are new and the landscape is young — saplings, fresh beds, a lot still finding its shape. Closer to the 1859 courthouse and the Public Square, the homes are older and the trees have had a century to grow. Landscape lighting has to read both, and Light TN is a landscape lighting designer based in Burns that designs for the property in front of it, not a formula.
A young landscape is a moving target. We light a new Murfreesboro estate for how it looks the night we leave and for how it will look once the trees fill the gaps — fixtures and zones placed so the design still holds at five years, not just at planting. You should not have to re-light the yard every time the garden grows up.
What Murfreesboro Landscapes Ask For
Out in Indian Hills and Shelton Square, the landscape is still filling in. We light a young Murfreesboro lot for the trees it has and the trees it will have, choosing fixture positions and beam spreads a sapling can grow into rather than outgrow, so the design ages with the garden instead of against it.
The streets around the 1859 courthouse carry homes and canopy well over a century old. There the work is the opposite of new construction — warm, low, shielded light that complements brick and stone the way it was meant to be seen, with nothing that reads modern or bright against an old facade.
Murfreesboro estates tend to sit on open, generous lots with real road frontage, and that frontage is part of the design. We light it from set-back, shielded positions and keep path lights below eye level from the street, so the approach reads composed from the curb and the source itself never shows.

Murfreesboro Areas We Light
FAQ
No — the studio is in Burns and Light TN drives to Murfreesboro for the work. Daryl Bentfield walks the property for the on-site assessment, whether it is a new build in Shelton Square or an older home near the Square, so the design fits the lot in front of him.
No — Light TN designs a young Murfreesboro landscape for where it is headed. We place fixtures and zones so the lighting flatters the yard now and still works once the trees fill in, which means you light it once rather than redo it as the garden grows.
Yes. Light TN lights Murfreesboro's historic-district homes with the restraint a century-old facade calls for — warm, low-output, shielded fixtures that complement brick and stone, with the hardware kept out of sight so nothing reads modern against an old house.
No. Light TN buries low-voltage wire with the L2 Line Layer, a trenchless machine and the only one in the Nashville market, so cable goes in without trenching — on a new estate's fresh sod or an established lawn near the Square alike.
This page is landscape lighting — the trees, beds, paths, and frontage of the grounds. The full Murfreesboro outdoor lighting page brings that together with architectural, roofline, audio, and smart-control lighting for the whole property.
Rutherford County has been Tennessee's fastest-growing county for eight straight years running, and Light TN feels that demand too. We won't promise a same-week install, but Daryl gives you a real date at your design consultation and holds it, rather than leaving you guessing. Book the consultation early and you'll know your install window up front.
Moonlighting mounts a fixture high in a tree's canopy and points it down, so light filters through the branches and falls across the lawn and beds the way real moonlight does. It works well on the shade trees found on both older lots near the Public Square and newer Murfreesboro subdivisions, giving a wide, natural-looking glow from a single fixture.
Yes, occasionally, and it's a small adjustment, not a redesign. Daryl places fixtures with room to re-aim from the start, so as shrubs fill in or a young tree gets taller after your Murfreesboro install, resetting a beam or moving a fixture a few feet keeps the design looking right.
It's a quick, inexpensive fix. Because the system runs on 12-volt low-voltage wire, a cut section is simply spliced and reburied with the L2 Line Layer, not a full system replacement.
Either order can work. Daryl coordinates timing around your project, running wire before mulch and sod go down when possible, or fitting the install around beds that are already planted. Mention your timeline at the design consultation so trenchless wire runs don't conflict with other yard work.
Fixtures carry manufacturer lifetime warranties, and Light TN backs the installation itself with a one-year workmanship warranty. Combined with solid brass and copper fixtures and an annual failure rate under 1%, it's built to need very little attention after installation.
Yes. Light TN's systems run on 12-volt low-voltage current, well below the level that poses a shock risk, so fixtures along paths, beds, and play areas are safe to be around. It's one of the reasons low-voltage is the standard for residential landscape lighting.
