Lights don’t just brighten—they also shape shadows, which can be incredibly artistic in outdoor spaces. For example, placing a spotlight at the base of a tree creates dramatic branching shadows on the lawn or wall. Similarly, backlighting tall grasses or sculptures makes them look magical at night. The trick, though, is avoiding glare and ensuring the balance doesn’t overwhelm. Some people rely on outdoor landscape lighting services to perfect these effects, but experimenting with different angles at night works wonders too. I’m curious—do you design your outdoor lighting primarily for aesthetics, or do you focus on making sure the yard is practical and safe before layering in artistic shadow play?
