Make the most of your outdoor space
Your favorite place to unwind. Now with a soundtrack.
A playlist by the pool. Sports on the patio. Music around the fire pit.
We plan outdoor entertainment around where you sit, gather, cook, and relax. Sound coverage, screen visibility, equipment protection, and easy control all deserve attention before choosing the equipment.
Built around the way you gather
Entertainment beyond the back door.
A better view of the game.
Plan a patio TV around the seating, sightlines, and sun exposure, with sound that makes dialogue and commentary easier to follow.
Control within reach.
Choose music, adjust the volume, or switch sources with familiar controls. Connect compatible outdoor zones with the rest of your home.
The details that make it work
Outdoor speakers, TVs, and simple control.
We consider the equipment and the environment together, from planting beds and patios to covered outdoor kitchens.
Outdoor speaker installation.
Plan patio, wall-mounted, or landscape speakers for the areas you want to hear. Speaker placement, aiming, amplification, and zone control help balance coverage while considering nearby homes.
Landscape audio.
Distribute compact speakers through planting areas, with a landscape subwoofer where appropriate. We coordinate positions and cable routes with paths, irrigation, planting, and future maintenance.
Outdoor TV installation.
Choose an outdoor-rated display suited to its actual sun and weather exposure. We plan the mounting position, viewing angles, glare, sound, power, and connections around your patio or gathering space.
Wiring and equipment protection.
Plan suitable cable routes, protected connections, and accessible equipment locations. We identify power and installation coordination early, especially before landscaping or hardscape work is finished.
Reliable outdoor connectivity.
Streaming and app control need a dependable connection where you use them. We review wired connections and outdoor Wi-Fi coverage as part of your network and wiring plan.
Connected indoor and outdoor control.
Group compatible music zones or keep the patio independent. Control4 can coordinate compatible audio, video, and lighting controls in familiar scenes.

Sound that fits the landscape.

Before you begin
Outdoor audio video questions.
A few starting points for planning your patio, pool, or backyard system.
How much does an outdoor AV system cost?
Cost depends on the areas to cover, speaker and TV choices, wiring access, network needs, control requirements, and installation conditions. We discuss your priorities and existing equipment, then explain a proposed scope and investment for your space.
Can I use a regular indoor TV outside?
We recommend an outdoor-rated TV selected for the location. A covered patio still has outdoor exposure, and screens differ in their suitability for shade or direct sun. We review the display’s installation requirements, mounting location, and viewing conditions before recommending it.
How do landscape speakers differ from patio speakers?
Patio speakers usually serve a defined seating area from a wall, overhead structure, or nearby mounting point. Landscape systems distribute speakers through the yard or planting beds. The right approach depends on the size and shape of the space, sound coverage, appearance, and available cable routes.
Can outdoor audio connect to my indoor system?
Often, yes, when the equipment and control systems are compatible. We can plan outdoor zones that share music with indoor rooms or play independently. We check the existing sources, amplification, wiring, and streaming access before confirming the options.
Can you add a system to a finished backyard?
Often, yes. Existing wiring, planting areas, pathways, and access around patios affect the installation. We assess cable routes and equipment locations, then explain any landscape, hardscape, or electrical coordination the project may need.
How do you manage sound near neighboring homes?
We consider speaker direction, coverage, zone boundaries, and listening levels during design. Several appropriately placed speakers can help provide coverage without relying on one loud source. Sound still travels outdoors, so placement and sensible volume remain important.
