The backyard has become the new living room. Families aren't just grilling outdoors — they're hosting game nights, movie screenings, and pool parties. And with the right technology, your outdoor space can become a true extension of the home.
At Advanced AV & Automation, we design outdoor audio and video systems that make backyards the place everyone wants to be.
Why Outdoor AV?
Audio & Video Options
- Weatherproof speakers built for rain, heat, and Texas humidity
- Landscape speakers disguised as rocks or hidden in gardens
- Buried subwoofers for rich, full bass outdoors
- Weatherproof TVs brighter than indoor models, sealed against the elements
- Projection systems with retractable screens for outdoor movie nights
- Strategic mounting to prevent glare and optimize viewing angles
Pro tip: A well-designed outdoor audio system delivers even coverage everywhere — so music isn't blasting in one spot and barely audible ten feet away.
Integration with Smart Systems
Outdoor AV isn't standalone — it connects to your home's automation system:
- Stream music outdoors from the same app you use inside
- Control volume, lighting, and video with one remote or touchscreen
- Create "Party Mode" scenes that activate everything with one tap
A Real-World Example
- Landscape-style speakers positioned around the pool for even coverage
- A weatherproof 65" TV mounted under the covered patio
- Smart lighting that syncs with the audio system
Why Builders Should Care
Outdoor living is one of the most requested features in new builds across the Houston area. Offering pre-wired outdoor zones makes it easy for buyers to add AV upgrades without tearing up landscaping later — and it gives builders a compelling upgrade package to sell at closing.
