Concert-quality sound and theater-grade video for pools, patios, and outdoor kitchens—beautifully integrated so only the experience stands out, not the gear.
Get a Personalized ConsultationYour backyard should sound as good as your living room—and look just as refined. We design outdoor entertainment systems that deliver immersive sound and crisp video without cluttering your landscape. From discreet landscape speakers and buried subwoofers to weather-rated displays and protective enclosures, every component is chosen for performance and longevity.
Whether you are hosting beside the pool, cooking in an outdoor kitchen, or relaxing on the terrace, control is effortless. One touch on your phone, keypad, or whole-home system brings up the game, your playlist, or movie night under the stars—often tied into media distribution and whole-home audio so indoor and outdoor zones stay in sync.
Outdoor systems face heat, humidity, salt air, and UV—we specify components built for the elements and rack gear where it stays dry and serviceable. Video can mean a high-brightness outdoor TV, a protected display behind a Storm Shell–style enclosure, or a carefully aimed projector setup for covered spaces. Audio scales from focused patio zones to full-yard coverage with rock and satellite speakers that disappear into planting beds.
When you're ready to extend architectural and landscape lighting into the experience, we coordinate with lighting and climate and Coastal Source–class outdoor lighting so evenings feel as intentional as the soundtrack.
Even coverage, proper zoning, and calibration so music feels natural—not blasting from a single speaker. We balance aesthetics with SPL for real outdoor listening.
Bright panels, glare-friendly placement, and enclosures where needed. We match the display to your viewing distance, shade, and how you use the space.
Outdoor zones integrate with your smart home: one app, scenes for "pool party" or "game night," and reliable networking for streaming and control.
From conduit and weatherproof connections to future service access, we build systems that last—and we stand behind them with the same support as our indoor work.
Great outdoor sound is about coverage, headroom, and hiding the hardware. Here is how we approach landscape and patio audio for luxury properties.
Small satellite speakers on stakes or mounts blend into beds and borders, paired in zones so levels stay even as you walk the yard. We map locations for consistent SPL, aim drivers away from neighbors, and set delay/EQ so the system feels like one cohesive space.
In-ground or partially buried subs anchor the low end without visible boxes on the deck. Proper placement and crossover settings keep bass full at the pool and dining area without rattling fences or bothering adjacent properties.
Under-eaves and on-wall models suit covered kitchens and loggias. Finishes match architecture. These anchor a zone near the house while satellites fill the lawn—same playlist, balanced levels.
Multi-channel amps or matrixed zones let you run "pool only," "full yard," or "patio quiet" from your control app. Outdoor audio can mirror whole-home audio or stay independent. We size wire gauge and runs for distance and future expansion.
We integrate the same sources you use inside—streaming services, TV audio, turntable zones—routed through your AV stack or distributed audio processor. Reliable outdoor Wi-Fi and network ensures stable streaming and app control across the property.
Sunlight, glare, and viewing angle dictate what looks good after install. We match the product class to your microclimate and how you watch.
Displays rated for full-sun, partial sun, or full shade behave very differently. A screen perfect on a covered lanai may wash out beside a bright pool. We specify nit levels and anti-glare characteristics for your actual seating and sun path—not just catalog defaults.
True outdoor TVs handle temperature swings and moisture. A quality enclosure (e.g. Storm Shell–class) protects a selected display where a dedicated outdoor panel isn't the right fit—useful for specific sizes or when the TV must retract or lock.
We follow the same guidelines as indoor video systems: diagonal size and 4K resolution balanced to seating distance—often a bit larger outdoors because people move around. HDMI runs and future source upgrades are planned up front.
Outdoor displays often share sources with the house. We use matrixed video switching so "watch the game outside" is one command. For complex estates, digital media distribution keeps 4K HDR paths clean end to end.
Under permanent roof lines, a carefully specified projector and ambient-light–rejecting screen deliver a true cinema feel. We set expectations honestly: direct sun and open-air projection rarely mix; covered outdoor rooms are the usual fit.
We start with how you live outside: sports on the weekend, playlists by the pool, movie nights with family. Then we engineer routing, amplification, and control so everything feels simple the day we hand it over—and for years after.
We work with premium outdoor-rated gear and leading control platforms (Crestron, Savant, and more) so lighting, shades, climate, and entertainment work together. See how we've brought outdoor spaces to life in projects like our Belle Meade Island outdoor media and Jones Home installation.

A true outdoor TV is built from the ground up for temperature swings, moisture, and UV exposure—with a sealed chassis, high-brightness panel, and anti-glare coatings. An enclosure (like Storm Shell or similar) is a weather-rated housing that protects a standard or semi-outdoor display. Enclosures make sense when you want a specific screen size, need the TV to retract or lock, or when budget is a consideration. We help you decide which approach fits your space and climate.
It depends on the size of the area, landscaping, and how you use the space. A typical patio zone might need 2–4 speakers plus a subwoofer; a full-yard system covering pool, lawn, and outdoor kitchen could use 8–16 satellites across multiple zones plus 1–2 buried subs. We design for even coverage at comfortable listening levels—never a single speaker blasting from one corner. During the consultation we walk the property and map speaker positions to your lot.
Absolutely. We zone outdoor audio the same way we zone whole-home audio indoors. Each zone—pool, kitchen, fire pit, lawn—can play its own source at its own volume, or you can group them for one seamless experience. Control is through your phone, a Crestron or Savant interface, or voice. We also size the amplification so zones can run independently without affecting each other.
Only with the right panel. A standard indoor TV washes out in daylight—even in shade. Full-sun outdoor displays are rated at 2,000–3,000+ nits (vs. ~300–500 nits for a living room TV) and have anti-glare coatings designed for direct exposure. We assess your seating angles, sun path, and typical viewing times to specify the correct brightness class so the picture looks great when you actually use it, not just on a spec sheet.
That is exactly how we build it. Outdoor audio, video, lighting, and shades all connect to the same automation platform as your indoor systems. A single "Movie Night" scene can dim landscape lights, raise the volume, switch the outdoor display to your Apple TV, and lower a motorized pergola—one tap. We use Crestron, Savant, and similar platforms to make sure everything works together reliably.
