Light TN designs landscape lighting for Mount Juliet — from the master-planned streets of Providence to the Old Hickory lakefront — out of its studio in Burns.
CertifiedMount 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.
In Providence and the newer subdivisions, the houses share a builder’s vocabulary and the lots run close in size. Lighting is where a property steps out of the row — a specimen tree given depth, a facade grazed warmly — and since the plantings are young, we aim for the landscape the lot will grow into.
On the lake side, Mount Juliet’s Old Hickory lots fall toward the water. We light the descent with step lights and low grazing, frame the shoreline trees, and keep every beam shielded off the surface, so the property reads from your house and the dock while the lake itself stays dark.
The older streets near Providence and east toward the lake carry bigger lots and trees that have had decades to grow. There the work shifts to a mature landscape — moonlighting an established canopy, grazing beds and stone — with the restraint a grown-in property asks for rather than the planning a new one needs.

A: No — the studio is in Burns, and Light TN comes east to Mount Juliet and Wilson County for the work. Daryl Bentfield walks the property for the on-site assessment, whether it is a new lot near Providence or an Old Hickory lakefront, so the design fits what is actually there.
A: On a master-planned street, landscape lighting is the difference after dark. Light TN gives your property depth the builder did not — a specimen tree lit from within, a facade grazed warmly, a composed entry — so the house reads as designed rather than one of a row.
A: Yes. Light TN lights Mount Juliet’s Old Hickory frontage — the slope to the water, the shoreline trees, the path to the dock — with every fixture shielded and aimed off the surface, so the lawn glows and the lake stays dark.
A: No. Light TN designs a young Mount Juliet landscape for where it is headed, and buries the wire with the L2 Line Layer, a trenchless machine and the only one in the Nashville market, so the system is placed once and the fresh lawn stays intact.
A: This page is landscape lighting — the trees, beds, paths, and shoreline of the grounds. The full Mount Juliet outdoor lighting page brings that together with architectural, roofline, audio, and smart-control lighting for the whole property.
Light TN designs and installs custom outdoor lighting systems for homes and properties across Middle Tennessee. Every project starts with a consultation, a custom plan, and a commitment to doing the work cleanly — with results that hold up over time.
