Landscape Lighting With a Long Island Point of View
Salty Oak Outdoor Lighting creates residential landscape lighting for Long Island homes with a softer, more intentional approach: warm entries, safer walkways, quiet patios, and a more finished feeling after dark.
Hi, I’m Jake Ongania
I started Salty Oak Outdoor Lighting because I’ve always been drawn to the way outdoor spaces feel at night when they’re lit correctly.
Not overly bright. Not dramatic for the sake of drama. Just warm, comfortable, and carefully aimed.
A lot of outdoor lighting today feels too aggressive to me. Too many fixtures. Too much glare. Too much focus on brightness instead of atmosphere.
What I enjoy most is walking a property and figuring out what actually matters after sunset. Sometimes it’s a mature tree. Sometimes it’s the approach to the front door. Sometimes it’s simply making a patio feel calmer and more usable at night.
Every property has its own character, and I believe the lighting should respect that.
The Best Outdoor Lighting Knows When to Stay Quiet
Good landscape lighting is not about lighting everything. It is about choosing what matters.
A mature tree. A front entry. A walkway. A stone wall. A garden path. The spaces people actually use after dark.
The goal is not to overwhelm the property with brightness. It is to create warmth, depth, and atmosphere in a way that feels natural to the home.
The best lighting usually goes unnoticed. People simply feel better in the space.
Designed for Long Island Homes
Long Island homes have mature trees, layered landscaping, stonework, patios, pool areas, and outdoor spaces that are actually used after sunset.
The lighting should work with those elements, not overpower them.
That’s why Salty Oak focuses on warm, property-specific outdoor lighting that feels connected to the home and landscape.
It Starts With a Walk-Through
Everything starts by walking the property together.
We’ll look at how the space is used, what areas feel too dark, what should stand out after sunset, and where the lighting should stay subtle.
From there, the lighting plan is built specifically around the home.
Simple. Collaborative. No pressure.
