Outdoor Works Lighting was founded in 2023 by Ben Johnson, whose passion for landscape lighting grew from a lifelong appreciation for landscape design. With a background in Horticulture and Landscape Architecture from Auburn University, Ben combines formal design training with a deep understanding of how thoughtful lighting can enhance the beauty, character and functionality of a home after dark.

Serving Nashville, Belle Meade, Brentwood, Franklin and communities throughout Middle Tennessee, we specialize in thoughtfully designed landscape lighting systems that highlight architectural features, showcase landscaping, improve safety and expand outdoor living areas.

As a locally owned company, we are dedicated to delivering an exceptional client experience from the initial consultation through installation and ongoing service. Our work is guided by four core values: Integrity, Excellence, Professionalism and Teamwork. These principles reflect our commitment to quality installation, honest communication and lasting relationships.

Whether illuminating a grand estate, creating a welcoming entryway or transforming an outdoor living space, our goal is to create elegant lighting designs that elevate the way you experience your home after dark.

“Ben and his team crushed it!! Pretty much the marvel hero’s of outdoor lighting! They were professional, polite and punctual! They got it done ahead of schedule and I just let them run with their ideas. It turned out way better than I envisioned! I cannot recommend them enough!”
