Clay McCord grew up in Nashville and has spent over fifteen years transforming Middle Tennessee's most distinguished properties. What started as a deep respect for the land became a career building outdoor spaces that families live in for generations.
After years partnering with Nashville's top custom home builders, Clay founded Nashville Land & Light to offer homeowners a single point of accountability for both plant installation and exterior lighting — two disciplines that are better together.
Trusted by Nashville's premier custom home builders for finish-quality landscape work.
We execute from architect plans or design in collaboration with you — no subcontracting the vision.
Landscape and lighting designed together from day one for a cohesive result.
We know this soil, this climate, and these neighborhoods — because we grew up here.
"I don't just install landscapes — I build the places where families make their best memories. Every stone, every tree, every light is placed with intention."

"Clay and his team completely transformed our backyard. The attention to detail on the planting design and layout was incredible. We basically live outside now."
"We hired Nashville Land & Light for the landscape lighting on our new build. The difference at night is unbelievable — our builder said it's the best lighting job he's seen."
"What I appreciated most was how easy Clay was to work with. He listened to what we wanted, gave honest recommendations, and delivered exactly what he promised — on time."
