Lighting helps define outdoor zones and makes them usable after sunset. It also adds a sense of security and mood when entertaining.

Shane Waaka recommends a layered approach: ambient lighting for overall glow, task lighting for specific activities, and accent lighting for features.

Path lights and step lights improve safety. Wall sconces and deck post lights help with general brightness, especially in entry areas.

String lights and solar lanterns bring atmosphere without requiring hard wiring. Shane suggests focusing on lighting areas that get used most often.

A well-lit outdoor space feels more inviting and better integrated into the home. Start small with string lights or solar options, then scale based on layout and needs.
