Landscape lighting

Good landscape lighting starts before dark.

We plan lighting around the architecture and landscape before fixtures go in the ground. The goal is to light what matters without making the fixtures themselves the focus.

See it before you buy it.

We bring temporary fixtures to your property after dark. You can see the effect on your own home and landscape before deciding what becomes permanent.

Built to execute

Estate grade equipment, garden gate access.

Large trees, stone and grading take real equipment. Finished properties take care. We plan access before work starts and use the most efficient size machine for the work.

We keep the disruption contained. The rest of the property stays usable while we work.

How we work

How a project works.

01

Learn the property

We start by understanding the property. How it works and what the design should be built around.

02

Design

We turn that understanding into a plan. Layout, materials and planting that fit the property.

03

Proposal

You get a clear scope before work begins. It covers the work, the materials and the schedule.

04

Installation

Our team builds it. Layout through final cleanup.

05

Final walk-through

We walk the finished work with you and make sure the details are right.

One-year workmanship warranty. One-year plant warranty with functioning irrigation and proper watering.

Why Sunset

Sunset started in Franklin in May 2015. We know how the parts of an outdoor space work together and we know how to build them.

We carry a project from the first conversation to the finished work. We communicate honestly and we take responsibility for the details.

Client reviews

What clients say.

“James and his team did an incredible job with our grading, drainage, irrigation, sod, gardens, flowers, and trees. They completely transformed our yard. … It is so refreshing to work with someone who genuinely cares about the quality of his work and about making sure his customers are happy.”

Nina · Google Review

“The biggest factor - they show up when they say they will and keep the premises very well maintained (daily cleanup) during the process. Easy to communicate with and very professional/knowledgeable. Sunset is my go too source.”

Dave · Google Review

“James and his team understand what grows well in our area and make great recommendations for plants that are easily maintained. And while the landscape design is beautiful, their skill with lighting puts it over the top.”
