Whether you’re enhancing your front yard, lighting your backyard oasis, or adding value to your Nashville home, landscape lighting is a smart investment. But how much should you budget?

The short answer: Landscape lighting in Nashville generally ranges from $1,800 to $6,000+ depending on the scope of your project, fixture quality, and design complexity. Let’s break it down.

Why Landscape Lighting Pricing Varies

No two yards—or lighting layouts—are the same. Your final price is influenced by several factors:

  • Size of the property
  • Number of lighting zones and fixtures
  • Type of lighting (LED vs halogen)
  • Wiring distance and terrain
  • Smart lighting upgrades
  • Labor and installation costs

At LightTN, we provide customized lighting designs that align with your goals and your budget. Here’s what you can expect. 

The average cost of landscape lighting in Nashville ranges from $1,800 to $6,000 depending on yard size, fixture type, number of lights, and installation complexity. LED systems and smart upgrades may cost more initially but offer long-term savings and enhanced performance.

LED vs. Halogen: Which Affects Cost More?

Ways to Control Your Budget

Worried about cost? Here are smart ways to manage your landscape lighting investment:

  • Start small. LightTN can begin with one area—like your front yard—and expand later.
  • Choose efficient fixtures. Long-lasting LEDs reduce maintenance.
  • Stick with simple designs. A clean, elegant layout often beats overcomplicated installs.
  • Ask about financing or seasonal promos.

  • Enhances security and safety
