Why It Matters

Four reasons your yard needs real audio.

Even coverage

Four small speakers under the eaves beat one giant Bluetooth brick. Music follows you from the grill to the pool to the fire pit, no dead zones.

Invisible install

Rock speakers disappear into your landscaping. Cables buried at trench depth. Nothing to trip over, nothing to stare at.

Built for Texas

Direct-burial UV cable, IP-rated speakers, and sealed outdoor junction boxes. Rated for 105 degrees, hail, and the occasional February ice storm.

One app, every zone

Integrated with your existing Sonos or Denon HEOS system and grouped into Apple Home, Google Home, or Alexa. Pair the patio with the kitchen, or keep them separate. Your call, one app.

Our Process

Five steps from bare yard to backyard concert.

01

Site survey

We walk your property, map seating zones, and identify cable paths through attics, soffits, and trenchable beds.

02

Design

Speaker count, placement, and zoning designed around your actual square footage. No guessing, no over-selling.

03

Install

Direct-burial cable trenched in. Rock and under-eave speakers placed. Cables routed back to a central Sonos Amp or HEOS rack.

04

Commissioning

Impedance match verified. Sonos zones named. Trueplay tuning where supported. Every speaker plays balanced before we leave.

05

Support

90 day labor warranty. You call, we come back. No ticket queues, no "it is out of warranty" runaround.

Real Installs

Patios, pool decks, and landscape beds we have wired.

Outdoor TV and audio installed above a stone fireplace overlooking a golf course in DFW

Stone fireplace overlook

TV and speakers on solid masonry with zero visible wire, lines drilled through the mortar, run inside the structure, and terminated at a weatherproof plate.

Covered patio with fireplace, string lights, and poolside audio zone installed by Cognito in DFW

Poolside covered patio

A dedicated audio zone that competes with the pool pump, not the neighbors, speakers placed for coverage at seating height, volume grouped separately from the indoor system.

Indoor outdoor Sonos tie-in

Every outdoor zone groups with the indoor Sonos system, same app, same rooms, so the patio follows the kitchen without a separate amp stack in the closet.

The Process

How we execute.

1

Consultation & Design

We measure to the millimeter and recommend the exact hardware needed for your specific wall material and room acoustics.

2

Engineering & Install

Our certified techs execute the build, routing all cables behind drywall, stone, or brick with structural precision.

3

Calibration & Handoff

We calibrate the audio, test the network drops, and walk you through the system until you feel completely at home.

Client Experiences

What the neighborhood is saying.

Verified 5-star Google reviews from Dallas-Fort Worth property owners.

They buried the wiring for our landscape rock speakers without destroying the lawn. Now our entire backyard pool area is perfectly synced to the indoor Sonos system.

Frisco, TX

We wanted speakers mounted high under our patio eaves. The technicians completely hid the weatherproof cabling and tied it straight into our main equipment rack.

High-end commercial outdoor audio installed at our restaurant patio. Crisp, clear sound that completely transformed the dining vibe, and totally weatherproof.

A fair warning

Who we’re not for.

If you want the cheapest possible setup, a pair of Bluetooth speakers zip-tied under the eave before Saturday’s party, we’re not your crew. That gear dies in one Texas summer, and we don’t install things we’d have to come back and replace.

If exposed wiring doesn’t bother you, you don’t need us either. Every line we run is direct-burial or UV-rated CL3, buried in the bed or routed through the soffit, because a backyard system should be heard, never seen.

If you want outdoor sound that survives August, plays evenly across the whole patio, and runs from the same app as the rest of your house, that’s the job we built this company for.

Frequently asked questions.

Yes. All exterior landscape and patio speakers are wired using direct-burial, UV-resistant speaker wire (typically 14- or 16-gauge CL3-rated). The copper is insulated to withstand Dallas freezes and 105-degree summer heat.
We route the speaker wire back into the house and connect to a Sonos Amp or Denon HEOS receiver. You control your patio music instantly from your phone — inside, outside, or from the pool. We can also group the patio zone with indoor Sonos speakers so the whole home plays in sync.
Yes. We specialize in stealth landscape audio. We trench and bury the direct-burial cable, placing omnidirectional speakers that look like natural stones right into your garden beds, around the pool, or along walkways.
Yes. Surface-mounting speakers high under the eaves of your covered patio is ideal for wide coverage. We route wire through the attic and soffits so there is zero exposed cable running down your exterior brick or stucco.
Absolutely. Using a Sonos Amp (or a Denon HEOS Amp), the outdoor area becomes its own zone. Play the pool party playlist outside while the kids watch a movie inside, two separate streams, one app.
Yes. For patios where you want real bass, we install weather-rated in-ground or surface-mount subwoofers. Perfect for pool parties, poolside workout zones, or covered outdoor kitchens where you want the music to punch.
