Outdoor Living in Tulsa, Oklahoma
Patio and outdoor audio, weather-rated displays, and automated control of the outdoor lighting you already have.
What this actually is
Outdoor Living, in plain language.
Outdoor systems extend the house into the yard: music spread across the space rather than clustered by the back door, a display that survives being outside, and the lighting around the property coming on and going off on its own.
We handle the audio, the displays and the control. The outdoor light fixtures themselves are installed by your electrician or your landscaper, and we automate them so they run on a schedule that follows the season, or on the same Evening and Goodnight scenes as the inside of the house.
Oklahoma is hard on outdoor equipment. Sustained summer heat, hail, and wind that treats an ordinary outdoor speaker as temporary. What goes outside has to be specified for that, and it costs more than the equivalent indoors for good reason.
Honest fit
Who this is for, and who it isn't.
If you are in the right column, say so on the call and we will point you somewhere better.
A good fit if
- A patio, pool or outdoor kitchen you use most of the year
- A large lot where one lighting transformer will not reach
- Acreage with a shop, gate or long driveway to light
- You entertain outside and want the same music as inside
Probably not if
- A small patio where a portable speaker is genuinely enough
- You want string lights only. That's a good weekend project
- You are not willing to trench for wire
What's included
Everything in the scope.
- Weather-rated speakers placed for even coverage across the space
- Outdoor-rated or full-sun displays where a TV is wanted
- Automated control of existing outdoor and landscape lighting
- Schedules tied to sunset rather than a fixed clock time
- Everything on the same control system as the house
- Equipment specified for Oklahoma heat, hail and wind
What it costs
Real numbers, published.
Patio audio with four to six speakers typically runs $3,500 to $9,000. Adding an outdoor-rated display generally lands between $4,000 and $12,000 installed. Larger acreage properties with multiple audio zones and an outdoor kitchen run higher.
What moves the number: how many audio zones, speaker grade, whether a weather-rated display is included, and how far the equipment sits from the rack.

Questions about outdoor living.
Properly specified ones can. That means weather-rated enclosures, stainless hardware, and placement out of standing water and direct hail exposure. Integration at Work, AV spends more on what lives outside than on in-ceiling speakers indoors, because outdoor equipment takes far more abuse.
It depends on the lot rather than the house, and Integration at Work, AV zones it after walking the property. A standard suburban lot often works on one or two. An acreage property with a driveway, a shop and landscape features frequently needs four or more, because a single transformer cannot carry that load or that distance without voltage drop.
Not for long, which is why Integration at Work, AV installs outdoor-rated displays. Even under cover, humidity, temperature swings and insects kill indoor televisions quickly, and an indoor screen is not bright enough to watch in daylight. Outdoor-rated displays are built for it, and partial-sun versus full-sun models are chosen based on where the screen actually sits.
Yes, and Integration at Work, AV sets it up that way by default. Lighting tied to sunset and a real bedtime looks intentional and uses far less energy than dusk-to-dawn on everything. It also ties into the same Away and Goodnight scenes that run the inside of the house.
Yes, as part of the project. Integration at Work, AV runs buried conduit for anything crossing a lawn or driveway rather than direct-burying cable, because conduit means the next change does not require digging the yard up again.
