How to Experience the Best in Outdoor Living Technology

Beat the Spring Rush and Prepare Your Backyard for a Season of Luxury

Even as the weather in Jonesboro finally leaves Arkansas’ frigid winter storms behind, we’re still a few months away from proper pool weather. That in-between time when the early morning and late evening breezes make you head back inside is a perfect planning window for your outdoor living technology solutions. It’s a time to assess your existing patio conditions, figure out what improvements would make the most sense, and get them started before you get the landscapers in to redo your lawn.

Start By Figuring Out What Your Space is Lacking 

As the final snow melts and you clear out the patio furniture, get a good look at your current canvas. Take a fresh look at your patio, decks, and poolside structures and try to think what may be lacking. Does sound not reach certain areas? Is there not enough lighting in the backyard? Does your patio seating force your TV to face direct sunlight? 

The answers to these questions will guide the audio, lighting and display options you choose. We’ll not only advise you on the best equipment but also take care of the needed designs to ensure full coverage. Then we take care of the dirty work—trenching for wires and running conduits while the ground is workable but before new spring plantings or sod are laid down.

Now Choose The Ideal Technology for the Space 

Each home is unique, but in our experience outdoor living always includes a mix of the following. They may come in different scopes and schemas, but they’re all vital for making your outdoor spaces thrive: 

• Glare-Resistant Video Displays: Add high-nit weatherproof displays ready to brave the elements and provide high-quality visuals even in direct sunlight. Choose from models for shade, partial shade, or full sun applications. 
• Distributed Audio: We’ll use a mix of bollard, satellite, rock, and rock speakers to provide high-fidelity audio to every corner of your property. By strategically facing these towards your home, we provide powerful sound that stays contained within your property lines. 
• Home Comforts Outdoors: Your outdoor living technology should also help you feel as comfortable as you do indoors. Add smart lighting scenes to boost your curb appeal and safety, while patio heaters can turn on automatically when temperatures fall under a certain preset. 
• Network Foundation: All this outdoor luxury experience relies on a robust network. We use wireless access points to extend the reach of your high-speed Wi-Fi to the perimeter of the property. 

Why Is Starting Early So Important?

The number one insider tip we have for clients, is that outdoor AV and lighting spots fill up fast. As soon as the weather picks up, everyone has these upgrades in mind. You don’t want to wait until the first 80-degree day hits to get started. By then we’re often overbooked. Plus, these jobs take time and you don’t want to rush them to get them done. 

With early planning and a proper timeline, we’re able to develop a bespoke plan instead of one tacked on at the last minute. It gives us time to meld the system with your aesthetics, calibrate all components, and confirm you have network coverage everywhere you need it. 

A luxury outdoor experience is the result of a thoughtful, early-season blueprint. Now is the time to reach out to our outdoor technology experts to spruce up your patio, porch or backyard. Call us or fill out our contact form to get started.
