Considerations
Of course, with every outdoor project comes a handful of considerations that need addressing before we begin the work. Unfortunately, not every backyard was built perfectly for outdoor entertainment, so some jobs are more work than others. Nevertheless, here are some items to consider:
- Sun exposure: Where will you position your outdoor TV? There are varieties made especially for highly sun-exposed areas, so knowing this will help us ensure you get the right one for your needs.
- Dark spots: Do certain areas of your backyard disappear at night? Outdoor lighting design can help enhance the aesthetics of your yard while also providing functional light to dark places.
- Neighbors: How close are your neighbors? Outdoor speakers send sound directionally, so we'll need to point them in the right direction so audio won't bother them.
- Walkways: Where is the main walkway? We'll want to ensure there are no outdoor technology hazards that could cause guests' concerns.
- Utilities: Of course, we'll need to know what else is buried in your yard before we dig.
Consider Consulting a Designer
