Expert Landscape Lighting Design in Franklin, TN

Homelight Nashville provides expert landscape lighting design for residential properties throughout Franklin, TN and the surrounding Williamson County area. A well-designed landscape lighting system does more than illuminate your yard — it reveals the architecture of your home, defines the character of your outdoor spaces, and creates an atmosphere that makes your property unmistakable after dark.

Our design process begins with a thorough on-site walkthrough of your Franklin property. We study your home's facade, roofline, and architectural details. We assess your landscaping — mature trees, garden beds, hedgerows, retaining walls, and pathways — and identify every opportunity to add depth, drama, and warmth through light. We look at how you use your outdoor spaces at night: entertaining on the patio, walking guests to the front door, relaxing in the backyard. Every one of those use cases shapes the design.

Franklin's mix of historic antebellum homes, traditional Southern architecture, and newer suburban construction means no two properties light the same way. A Civil War-era home with wide columns and deep porches calls for a completely different approach than a modern farmhouse or a contemporary new build. We account for those differences during the design phase, so the finished system feels native to your home rather than generic.

Once we have mapped your property, we build a complete fixture plan. We specify beam angles, color temperatures, fixture types, and mounting positions for every zone — front elevation, pathways, driveways, trees, garden beds, patios, and any special features. We select low-voltage LED fixtures as our standard. They draw significantly less power than traditional outdoor lighting, hold up through Middle Tennessee's humid summers and cold winter nights, and deliver consistent, long-lasting brightness without frequent bulb changes.

We also engineer the power management side of the system at the design stage. Transformer sizing, wire run planning, and voltage drop calculations are built into the design — not figured out during installation. This ensures your landscape lighting system runs reliably from day one and has room to expand as your needs change.

Before installation begins, we walk you through the full design so you understand exactly what will be installed, where, and why. You have the opportunity to adjust priorities, add zones, or simplify the scope before any work starts. Once you approve the plan, our installation crew executes it to the highest standards.

After installation, we conduct a nighttime walkthrough with you to confirm every fixture is performing as designed. We adjust beam angles, swap color temperatures if needed, and make sure every zone looks exactly right. You leave that walkthrough knowing your Franklin home after dark the way it was meant to be seen.

I recently had the pleasure of working with John for outdoor lighting and landscaping work at my home, and I can confidently say this was one of the best contractor experiences I’ve had in Williamson County. From the very beginning, John went above and beyond in his level of consultation. He didn’t just install lights — he carefully walked through placement strategy, sight lines, coverage, and overall design to make sure every part of our backyard was properly illuminated. He even made thoughtful modifications to our mulch beds to ensure the lighting was positioned perfectly across the entire space. That level of thoroughness is rare. What really stood out was his attention to infrastructure. I wanted automation integrated into the lighting system, and John took the time to ensure everything was set up correctly from the ground up. He was meticulous about wiring, layout, and long-term scalability so that I wouldn’t run into issues down the road. It’s clear he thinks ahead and builds things the right way. Beyond the installation itself, John provided numerous recommendations and trusted contacts for other trades. Based on the level of detail, professionalism, and customer service he demonstrated, I feel very comfortable working with anyone he recommends. Communication throughout the entire process was excellent. He was always quick to follow up, transparent with details, and kept me informed at every stage. There were no surprises — just professionalism and quality workmanship. If you’re looking for outdoor lighting or landscaping work and want someone who truly cares about doing it right, I highly recommend John. This was a five-star experience from start to finish.

Jon did a terrific job designing and installing our lights. He listened to what we wanted and even more importantly what we didn’t want. He is a perfectionist who may be a bit higher in price but is worth it for the quality of his work and products. He responds quickly with any issues or concerns and I would highly recommend Homelight and Jon Swenson .

Jon did a terrific job lighting up our oversized tree filled homesite. His creativity and knowledge of lighting was refreshing and impressive.. The end result surpassed my overall expectations. I wouldn't hesitate in referring Jon to anyone with lighting needs. You won't regret it.

We live in Ivy Glen subdivision in Franklin tn. and needed indoor lights replaced in two areas in our great room. These areas are close to the ceiling and unreachable by a regular ladder. Plus the lights were the old fluorescent tube lights that were spotty in light coverage leaving shadows in between the tubes. Jon suggested a continuous LED light replacement. I chose a cooler light color. We are absolutely thrilled with the result! The new light has total coverage with no shadows, and the quality of the light has improved the overall look of the room. I recommend Jon with homelight!
