Make Summer ‘25 Unforgettable with These Outdoor Upgrades
There comes a time when we all realize what matters most in life: the people we love and spending time with them. In our busy, hectic lives, making time for our families and friends is crucial.
So before summer comes and goes, why not make the most of it with a fun outdoor living space? One you can gather loved ones and make lasting summer memories?
Our customers in Palm Beach, FL, are embracing summer 2025 with new outdoor entertainment systems, making their patio a real extension of the home. Here’s how you can, too.

1. Trade the Living Room for the Patio with an Outdoor TV
After the sun’s set and it’s cooled down, why not enjoy fresh air as you watch your favorite shows together?
Weatherproof 4K TVs are changing how (and where) people enjoy media at home. These fully waterproof displays are ultra-bright—often four times more than indoor TVs. So even when you watch during the day, you’ll see bright and clear.
We install outdoor TVs with concealed wiring and even hidden TV lifts for an unobtrusive and uncluttered look. And whether it’s pouring rain or 100° outside, your outdoor television will still perform flawlessly.
2. Enjoy Subtle Background Music with Landscape Audio
Great music is all you really need to host a fun party or get-together. Imagine music flowing through your backyard in sync across a speaker system. Music doesn't have to play too loud, because you have enough coverage to keep the volume at a comfortable level.
We install landscape audio systems with durable, high-performance speakers by Coastal Source. True to their namesake, Coastal Source speakers were designed with coastal weather and salty air in mind, protecting hardware from the elements. In fact, these outdoor speakers were performance-tested in the Florida Keys!
Coastal Source speakers are available in sizes large and small, plus ultra-slim Razor speakers that fit flush against your home’s exterior. We conceal low-voltage wiring to maintain the natural beauty of your lawn and backyard.
3. Set the Mood with Outdoor Lighting Control
Uncork another bottle of wine and enjoy conversations long into the night with a patio beautifully illuminated from an outdoor lighting system. Landscape lighting is an art in itself, and you can enhance your home’s exterior with uplights, downlights, pathway lights, wall wash lights, and more.
Coastal Source is also our go-to manufacturer for high-end outdoor lighting solutions. Its Plug+Play system makes it easy to expand as your outdoor space evolves. And while outdoor lights from other brands eventually corrode and rust, Coastal Source lights are built from solid brass and are airtight against moisture and debris.
Coastal Source is also compatible with the smart lighting brand Ketra, bringing color-tunable possibilities to your backyard.
4. Keep Watch While Away with Outdoor Cameras
Summer is also for traveling, which means leaving your home unattended for potentially days or weeks. We recommend completing your outdoor entertainment system with weatherproof HD cameras that alert you to any unusual activity.
Our surveillance camera installations are strategically positioned out of arm’s reach to prevent tampering from any trespassers. Wired to power with battery backups, your cameras will still function and record even during storms or power outages.
AI-enhanced video analytics can differentiate between people, animals, and objects, and allow you to create custom rules to avoid false alarms. So while you’re away from your beloved patio, you can trust that everything is safe and protected.
5. Control It All with One Smart System
You don’t need a separate remote or app to control all your outdoor devices. They can all be consolidated and controlled through one handy smart system.
Imagine pressing “All Off” on a wall button or smartphone app and instantly powering off the lights, TV, and audio. Or tap “Dinner” to set the perfect al fresco ambiance with music and lighting. We integrate outdoor entertainment into smart systems like Control4, making home technology truly convenient and easy to use.
