Path Lighting

To make the path look good, use lights that are placed on both sides, but not directly across from each other. Make sure the path is well-lit so you don’t stumble, but don’t put the lights too close together. Instead, create separate pools of light that guide your eyes along the path. Avoid placing lights evenly spaced like an airport runway, as this will look unnatural and make the path feel less inviting.

Uplighting

For bushy trees like pines, place lights outside their branches to avoid blocking the light. Keep these lights close together, about 5 feet apart. For less bushy trees, you can space the lights further, around 8 to 10 feet. To highlight the beauty of tree trunks, use a subtle lighting technique that gently brushes against them, making their textures stand out and connecting them to the ground.

Grazing

To make stone, stucco, and brick walls and tree trunks look interesting, use lights that shine at a sharp angle. This will create dramatic shadows and patterns that highlight the unique textures of these surfaces. Place the lights very close to the walls or trunks, about a foot away. Angle the lights slightly away from the surface to avoid creating a bright spot and ensure the light spreads evenly from top to bottom.
