Make the patio the best room in the house after dark.
Lighting for patios, decks, seating walls and steps: soft, layered and dimmable, so you can cook, eat and talk outside long after the sun goes down.
- Layers: General, task and accent light
- Fixtures: Post caps, rail lights, step lights, downlights and uplights
- Controls: Dimmers, timers and scenes
What it is, and why it matters.
Outdoor living space is only useful as long as it is lit, and the right lighting turns a patio or deck from a daytime spot into an evening destination. Too bright and it feels like a work site, too dim and you cannot see your food. The answer is layers: soft general light, brighter spots where you need to see and accents that give the space a mood.
We design and install patio and deck lighting for homes in Nashville and across Middle Tennessee. We use rail and post lights, under-cap lights, step lights, recessed downlights and uplights on nearby trees, and we put it on dimmers or scenes so you can set the evening just right.
Four things done right.
Layered light
Soft glow, a little task light and a few accents make the space comfortable.
No glare
Fixtures hide in caps, rails and walls so you see the glow, not the bulb.
Dimmable
You can set the mood from dinner to cleanup.
Safe steps and edges
Steps and deck edges are lit so everyone can see them.

Patio and Deck Lighting: common questions
How bright should patio lighting be?
Much dimmer than indoor lighting. Soft, warm light, with dimmers to adjust, is what feels comfortable outdoors. We tune it with you at night.
Can lighting be added to an existing deck?
Often yes. Post cap lights, under-rail lights and step lights can be added with careful wiring, and we plan the routes to be neat and hidden.
