what our customers are saying
Why Knoxville Homeowners Choose Professional Landscape Lighting
Knoxville has a style all its own. Historic neighborhoods meet modern growth. River views meet wooded hillsides. On the same evening you can take a walk along the Tennessee River, enjoy dinner on Market Square, and catch a sunset glow over the Smokies. That love for outdoor living naturally extends to your yard, porch, and patio.
Professional landscape lighting helps you enjoy more of the home you love. It adds visual interest, provides safety and security, and creates the perfect atmosphere for relaxing or entertaining. With a custom design, your lighting will highlight the features that make your home unique.
What you can expect:
- Beautiful curb appeal. Balanced light draws the eye to architecture, trees, and textures that deserve attention.
- Safer walkways and entries. Properly lit paths, steps, and driveways help prevent missteps and deter unwanted activity.
- More time outside. Enjoy quiet evenings, backyard dinners, and game nights on the patio with light that feels comfortable and inviting.
- Energy-smart performance. Low-voltage LED fixtures deliver long life and great light with low energy use.
- Real value. Well-designed lighting is an upgrade buyers notice, and it enhances your enjoyment every day you live there.
Our Design and Installation Process
Consultation and Vision Walk
We meet at your home to see how you use your outdoor spaces and to understand your priorities. Bring inspiration photos or just share what you want to feel when the sun goes down.
Custom Lighting Plan
We design a balanced layout that layers light where you want it. We specify fixture styles, beam spreads, color temperature, and mounting details. You get a clear proposal and visual explanation.
Professional Installation
Our crew installs with care. We protect plants and hardscapes, bury low-voltage wiring neatly, waterproof all connections, and label everything for long-term serviceability.
fter-Dark Aiming and Fine-Tuning
Once the sun sets, we adjust angles and brightness so the final look feels just right. You see the transformation in real time.
Ongoing Care
Choose a maintenance plan for seasonal checkups. We clean lenses, check connections, refresh timers or smart controls, and ensure your system looks as good as day one.
Our Knoxville Landscape Lighting Services
Every property is different. Your lighting should be too. We start with a collaborative walkthrough, listen to your goals, and design a plan that fits your style, your home, and your budget.
- Path and Walkway Lighting: Guide guests to your door with soft, welcoming light. We use low-glare fixtures that define travel paths, improve safety, and add a finished look to your landscaping.
- Uplighting for Trees and Architecture: Create drama and depth by grazing light up textured brick, stone columns, and mature trees. Uplighting adds dimension to your facade and gives trees a sculpted, nighttime presence.
- Downlighting and “Moonlighting”: Mounted discreetly in trees or eaves, downlighting mimics natural moonlight. It is perfect for soft illumination over patios, lawn areas, garden beds, and driveways.
- Deck, Porch, and Patio Lighting: Blend step lights, post lights, and subtle accents so outdoor living spaces feel comfortable, not glaring. The right layering makes every seat the best seat in the house.
- Water Feature and Pool Lighting: Bring fountains, waterfalls, and ponds to life after dark. Underwater and edge-mounted fixtures add movement and sparkle that you can enjoy from inside or out.
- Spot and Flood Lighting: Add focused attention to flags, sculptures, and architectural features. Use wider floods for practical coverage at driveways and secondary entries.
- Smart Controls and Automation: Control your system from a phone, tablet, or wall controller. Create schedules for weekdays and weekends. Adjust brightness or scene settings for parties or quiet nights in.

About Knoxville and Its People
Knoxville blends friendly Southern energy with a creative streak. You feel it in the Old City’s brick streets, the music scene that spills out of local venues, and the family Saturdays spent at Ijams Nature Center. You see it in historic homes in North Knoxville, tree-lined streets in Fountain City, and the modern growth of West Knoxville and Bearden. Neighbors chat on porches. Kids ride bikes on cul-de-sacs. String lights and glowing patios keep the conversations going after sunset.
The city is proud of its parks, greenways, and riverfront access. World’s Fair Park is a favorite for festivals and evening walks. Market Square sets the scene for dinner with friends. On game days the whole city feels bright. That love of being outside makes landscape lighting a natural fit. It adds safety along walkways and steps. It highlights the trees and stonework that make a home feel rooted here. Most of all, it turns everyday spaces into places you want to be, long after the sun goes down.
