Light TN is a landscape lighting designer based in Burns, serving Nolensville and Williamson County.
CertifiedNolensville has gone from a quiet Williamson County crossroads to one of Middle Tennessee’s most sought-after family markets in about a decade. The historic Main Street still anchors the village, but the rolling hills and creeks around it have filled with master-planned communities — Bent Creek, Scales Farmstead, Winterset Woods — on generous lots. Light TN is a landscape lighting designer based in Burns, and we design outdoor lighting in Nolensville for the property it sits on, new community or historic core.
The land here is classic Williamson County — rolling, wooded, cut by creeks — and a community like Bent Creek is laid out village-style around that terrain, with pocket parks and trails and homes on grade. The landscapes are young in the newer sections, so we design the lighting for what the yard is now and for what it will be once the trees fill in, and we light to the slope where a lot falls toward a creek or a green.
Light TN runs each Nolensville project the same way. Daryl Bentfield walks the property, you approve a photorealistic rendering before we dig, installation meets licensed contractor CE-D: 76580 standards, and we return after dark to aim every fixture. On Williamson County’s heavy clay we bury wire trenchless so a new lawn or an established one stays whole — the work behind more than 500 Middle Tennessee projects since 2020.
Nolensville's lots run from young new-community landscapes to wooded, creek-cut ground. We light specimen trees, graze beds and stone, follow the slope where a lot falls toward a creek, and design young plantings for what they will become — all rendered before we dig.
Nolensville's homes run traditional and farmhouse, often brick and stone. We light each facade from its own architecture — warm, shielded, glare-controlled — so a Bent Creek or Scales Farmstead home reads at night the way it was built to, with the hardware out of sight.
A complete lighting plan for a Nolensville property, independent of installation — photorealistic renderings, fixture specifications, and zone layouts for owners and the builders working its family communities. The design fee is credited when Light TN installs.
Commercial-grade LED set into the soffit or fascia of a Nolensville home for warm white year-round and full color when you want it. One installation replaces seasons of temporary lighting, designed to the rooflines of the house — not a strip of holiday lights.
Even, high-fidelity sound across the patios, pools, and porches Nolensville homes are built around — designed so music carries the space without crossing onto a neighbor's lot, and wired to the same standard as the lighting.
App-based zone control, scene programming, and astronomical scheduling, with integration for Control4, Lutron, Crestron, and Savant on Nolensville's larger estates and new builds. The lighting comes up warm at dusk on its own and holds to one consistent design.
Installation to CE-D: 76580 standards, by the studio that designed the plan. Across a Nolensville lawn — new sod or established turf — we bury wire with the L2 Line Layer, the only trenchless machine of its kind here, and aim every fixture after dark.
Facade, landscape, and approach lighting for Nolensville's historic Main Street shops, offices, and venues — designed with the same restraint as our residential work, for a warm nighttime presence and safe, even coverage across walkways and parking.
Light TN runs low-voltage cable beneath a Nolensville lawn without trenching, using the L2 Line Layer — the only machine of its kind in the market. On new-build sod or an established lawn, the wire goes in without scarring the grounds.
Nolensville went from a crossroads town to one of Williamson County’s most sought-after family markets in a decade, but the historic Main Street still anchors it. We light a new community home and a historic-core property each to its own character, designing for the property and its setting.
This is classic Williamson County ground — rolling, wooded, cut by creeks — and communities like Bent Creek are laid out around it. We light to the grade, following a lot as it falls toward a creek or a green, with step and path lighting where the ground drops.
The newer Nolensville sections come on generous lots with young landscapes. We design lighting that flatters the yard now and accommodates it as the trees fill in, placed so the system still makes sense in five years rather than needing a redo down the road.
Lighting a Nolensville property depends on which part of town it is in. In the new communities — Bent Creek, Scales Farmstead, Winterset Woods — the lots are generous and the plantings are young, so we design the lighting for the landscape now and for what it will be once the trees fill in. Along the historic Main Street, the buildings are older and ask for warm restraint. We design to the property in front of us.
The land shapes the design as much as the house. Nolensville sits on classic Williamson County terrain — rolling, wooded, cut by creeks — and a lot may fall toward water or a green, so we light to the grade with step and path lighting for footing. Where wire must cross a lawn — new sod or established turf — we bury it with the L2 Line Layer, the only machine of its kind in the market, so the ground stays whole.
Nolensville homes are built for family life outside, with covered porches, patios, and pools, and the newer ones come wired for smart control. We light those spaces to be used after dark and design the audio and smart control alongside them, so the back of the property works as one composed environment rather than a set of separate add-ons.
From the master-planned communities on the rolling hills to the historic buildings of Main Street, no two Nolensville properties light the same way. That is the reason we design each one on site, and the reason each Light TN project is rendered and approved before we dig.

Matt Cheuvront
Daryl with Light TN, was very professional and very helpful towards questions and concerns about the lights operations and programming ability, including installation. Once installed the light strips blended right in with our homes trim being unnoticeable during the daytime or when not in use. 5 Star experience, dealing with Daryl and Light TN.

We have been using Daryl and his services since 2020. We feel much safer with our beautiful lighting and it’s also makes it very easy taking dogs out at night. One of many benefits. Highly recommend Daryl and Light TN!

A: No — the studio is in Burns, and Light TN comes to Nolensville and Williamson County for the work. Daryl Bentfield walks the property for the on-site assessment, whether it is a Bent Creek or Scales Farmstead home or a historic-core property, so the design fits the lot in front of him.
A: Light TN designs landscape, architectural, and roofline lighting, outdoor audio, smart control, full installation, commercial lighting, and trenchless wire burial — usually as one coordinated system for a Nolensville property rather than separate add-ons.
A: No — Light TN designs a young Nolensville 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 later.
A: Yes. Light TN designs to Nolensville’s rolling, creek-cut terrain — lighting the grade with step and path fixtures for footing and aiming so a light below a window never glares into it, so a sloped lot reads as one composition.
A: No. Light TN buries low-voltage wire with the L2 Line Layer, a trenchless machine and the only one of its kind in the market, so cable goes in without trenching — new-build sod or an established lawn alike.
A: Light TN lights the whole back of a Nolensville property — porches, patios, pools, and gardens — and designs the audio and smart control alongside it, so the spaces you use after dark work as one environment.
