Outdoor Lighting Across Greater Nashville
Gemmell Outdoor Lighting designs and installs across Greater Nashville: Williamson County — Franklin, Brentwood and the towns around them — the Davidson County estate corridor through Belle Meade and Green Hills, and Hendersonville on Old Hickory Lake. Choose your town below, or call (615) 914-4411.
We work by county because the homes, the approvals, and the light itself change as you cross from one to the next. A historic facade in Franklin asks for something different than a lakefront dock in Hendersonville or an estate lot under mature hardwoods in Forest Hills. Landscape lighting on a wooded Davidson County lot is a different problem from a Franklin facade, even when the fixtures are the same. Each town below links to its own page, where the specifics live. If you just want to know whether we reach your street, start here.
Williamson County
Williamson County is where Main Street's historic district in Franklin sits a few miles from one-acre estate lots in Brentwood and the fast-rising new construction of Thompson's Station, Nolensville and Spring Hill. Out toward Leipers Fork and Fairview the lots open up into farmhouse acreage, long gravel drives and barns — the kind of dark that rewards restraint. Because so much of the county lives inside master-planned communities and design-review overlays, approval fluency matters here: see our Williamson County outdoor lighting overview and the Williamson County lighting rules guide before you plan a permanent roofline system.

Davidson County — Nashville
Inside Davidson County runs Nashville's estate corridor — Belle Meade, Green Hills, Forest Hills and Oak Hill — a run of the city's most established addresses. These are renovated older homes under mature canopy, Greek Revival estates governed by municipal design review, and low-density lots that back onto Radnor Lake, where dark-sky restraint isn't a preference but a neighborly obligation. The work here leans toward retrofit and understatement: moonlighting through old hardwoods, architectural uplighting on renovated facades, and approval-ready submittals where the city requires them. Start with the Nashville and Davidson County lighting rules, then talk to us through a free design walk.

Sumner County
North of the river, Hendersonville lines the shore of Old Hickory Lake, and the lighting problem changes with the water. Docks, boathouses and waterside terraces call for reflection control and warm, shielded fixtures that read cleanly off the surface instead of scattering across it — plus security layering for shoreline access that never tips into floodlight glare. Gemmell Outdoor Lighting carries the same design discipline up here from the metro side of Greater Nashville.
