Light TN designs from Burns for the gated communities and rolling, wooded acreage of Brentwood.
CertifiedMost Brentwood estates sit on one to three acres of rolling, wooded ground — behind a gate in Annandale or Governors Club, or tucked into a valley like Windstone, where the homes back straight up to the trees. Landscape lighting here is a problem of scale and slope: a long drive, a hillside that changes every sightline, a canopy that has to be lit from within. Light TN is a landscape lighting designer based in Burns.
Brentwood buys privacy. The estates sit behind gates and long drives, many backing onto woods, and the lighting has to respect that — composed and warm up close, then falling away into the dark at the tree line so the property keeps its seclusion. On Williamson County’s heavy clay, we reach the far fixtures by burying wire without trenching the lawn between.
A Brentwood estate runs one to three acres, much of it trees. We light the specimen oaks and the wood line from within the canopy, moonlighting down through the branches, and we plan for a lot that reads open now but will carry a deeper canopy in five years.
Homes in Annandale and Governors Club sit well back behind a gate and a long drive. We light that approach as a sequence — the entry, the curve, the arrival — with low, warm, shielded fixtures spaced to carry you toward the house, not down a lit runway to it.
Brentwood is built on rolling grade, and a slope changes every aim. A fixture set for the lawn can glare into a window on the floor above it, so we check each one from uphill before it is set, then add step lights and graze the retaining walls where the ground falls away.

A: No — the studio is in Burns, and Light TN comes to Brentwood for the design and the install. Daryl Bentfield meets you on the property, gate and all, so an Annandale or Governors Club plan is drawn on the actual acreage, grade, and tree line.
A: Yes — Annandale, Governors Club, Windstone, and the rest. Light TN coordinates gate access and any community design standards as part of the project, and designs a continuous plan across the full lot rather than a few fixtures near the door.
A: Grade is the first thing Light TN checks in Brentwood. We set fixtures below sightlines and aim each one from uphill, so a light placed downhill never glares into a window above it, with step lighting added where the ground falls away.
A: No. On Williamson County’s heavy clay, Light TN buries low-voltage wire with the L2 Line Layer, a trenchless machine and the only one in the Nashville market, so cable reaches the far corners of a Brentwood lot without trenching the turf between.
A: This page is landscape lighting — the trees, beds, drive, and grade of the grounds. The full Brentwood outdoor lighting page brings that together with architectural, roofline, audio, and smart-control lighting for the whole estate.
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.
