A drawing of a sample yard to explore ideas, with rounded loads and illustrative planning ranges. A real design is drawn for your own property after a visit.
Four ideas behind every scheme.
Layers
Path, accent, wash and moonlight at different heights make a yard feel deep.
Shadow
Dark areas make lit areas glow, so leave some of the yard dark.
Beam and aim
Narrow beams pick out a trunk, wide beams wash a wall or a patio.
Color
Warm light flatters brick, wood and plants, and one color keeps the scene calm.

Can I see the lights before I buy?
Yes. A night demonstration puts a few fixtures on your own trees, walls and paths so you can see the real brightness, color and aim before you decide.
How many fixtures does my yard need?
It depends on what you want to light, not on square footage. A good design uses fewer, well-aimed fixtures. Our Light Designer gives a planning count, and a walk-through gives the real one.
Are your estimates free?
Yes. Estimates are free and come in writing with the plan, the fixtures, the controls and the price. Fill in the form on any page, or call or text 615-431-3789, and we will set up a visit at dusk or review your photos.
Want a design for your own yard?
A walk at dusk and a night demonstration turn this sample into a plan drawn for your house, trees and paths.
