I would do the grassy end near the offending light - and at the least put up a screen to block the offending light - and/or ask the owners of the offending light to instal one with a shade so it only directs light downwards (maybe offer to pay).
If you wish to put a pier on pavers - do what I did; lift a lot of them, dig a big hole and fill it with cement and as it dries but 18 inch long 1/2 inch wide galvanised bolts into it so they just protrude above the level of the pavers. Then you drill holes thru the four pavers above the bolts and relay all the pavers on the drying cement. This structure should certainly be secure and stable! If you ever want to take your peir and leave the backyard untouched - just lift the four pavers, grind off the bolts and re galvanise their ends with Gal paint - then lay four new (or aged) pavers over them; no one would ever know you had a pier there.
