What Does Outdoor Lighting Cost?
We believe in honest conversations about investment. Here's what most homeowners in Franklin, Brentwood, and Belle Meade typically spend — and what drives the difference.
Outdoor lighting isn't a commodity — no two properties are the same, and neither are two lighting designs. That said, we know you want a ballpark before picking up the phone, and we respect that. Here's an honest breakdown of what to expect.

Every project is custom-priced based on your specific property. The main factors that move the number are the size of your lot, the number of fixtures, the complexity of your architecture, the quality of fixtures you choose, and whether trenching or underground wiring is involved.
We never upsell you on fixtures you don't need. Our free design walk is about understanding what you actually want — and designing the most efficient system to get you there.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the design consultation really free?
Yes, completely. We walk your property with you, sketch out a lighting plan, and give you a full written quote — no cost, no obligation, no pressure.
Do you require a deposit?
Yes, we collect a deposit to schedule your installation date and order your fixtures. The balance is due on completion — after you've seen the finished result and love it.
What's included in the workmanship warranty?
We stand behind every installation. If anything we installed fails or isn't performing as designed, we come back and make it right. We'll cover the specific terms of your warranty in your written quote.
Do you offer financing?
We don't offer in-house financing at this time, but many homeowners use a home equity line or credit card to spread the cost. It's worth asking your bank — outdoor lighting consistently adds to resale value.
How long does installation take?
Most residential projects are completed in a single day. Larger estate projects may take two days. We'll give you a clear timeline before we start.
