Expert Landscape Lighting Installation in Franklin, TN

Homelight Nashville provides professional landscape lighting installation for residential properties throughout Franklin, TN and the surrounding Williamson County communities. Installation is where the design comes to life — and the quality of that installation determines how well your landscape lighting system performs, how long it lasts, and how much maintenance it requires over time.

Our installation process begins before any equipment arrives on your property. We review the approved design plan, confirm fixture placement with you during a brief pre-installation walkthrough, and identify any site conditions — root systems, irrigation lines, hardscape edges — that require special handling. This preparation prevents surprises during installation and ensures the finished system matches the design exactly.

We install low-voltage LED landscape lighting systems as our standard. Low-voltage systems are safer to work with than line-voltage outdoor lighting, draw significantly less power, and deliver consistent, long-lasting brightness that holds up through Middle Tennessee's demanding climate. LED fixtures are rated for outdoor use in environments like Franklin's — built to handle summer humidity, heavy spring rains, and winter freezes without corroding, fading, or failing prematurely.

Fixture placement is executed with precision. Uplights are positioned and angled to highlight architectural features and tree canopies without creating harsh glare. Pathway lights are spaced to provide even coverage without the over-lit, runway effect that comes from fixtures placed too close together. In-ground fixtures are set at the correct depth and secured properly so they stay in position through seasonal ground movement. Every wire connection is weatherproofed and every splice is protected against moisture intrusion.

Transformer installation and programming is handled with the same care. We mount transformers in accessible locations, wire zones cleanly, and program timer and photocell settings before we leave. You will not need to figure out the controls on your own — we walk you through the full system operation during the nighttime reveal.

Franklin's zoning standards require that upward-directed landscape lighting use low-wattage fixtures and that light spread be controlled to avoid spillover onto neighboring properties. We design and install every system to meet those local requirements from the start, so you avoid costly adjustments or compliance issues after installation.

When installation is complete, we perform a detailed site cleanup. Trenches are backfilled and tamped, disturbed landscaping is restored, and any debris from the installation is removed. By end of season, the landscape itself does the talking — the only evidence of our work is the quality of the finished lighting system.

The final step is the nighttime reveal. We return after dark, walk you through every zone of your new landscape lighting system, and make any on-the-spot adjustments to fixture angles or beam spreads. You leave that walkthrough knowing exactly what your Franklin home looks like after dark and exactly how to operate your system.

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!
