Have you ever gone to a great backyard party and wondered what it was that made the party so great?   Of course the guests, food and a lovely host all play an integral part, but most likely it was the music.  The setting and flow provided by the outdoor entertainment areas, together with the right music at the right volume can set the mood of your party from the very start.

There is no need to wait for the life of the party to arrive when your outdoor space is clearly the star of the evening.  With today’s technology and the help of a professional masonry contractor, you can turn your yard into the optimum party space, complete with outdoor kitchen, fire pit and even an outdoor audio and visual system that can outperform many indoor systems.

A professional contractor who specializes in outdoor entertainment design, as well as installation, will be able to provide you with a system that is well suited to your entertaining and spatial needs as well as your budget.  A soft layer of background music is often preferred for small gatherings, which is best accomplished by placing outdoor speakers throughout the entertainment space so that the music is easily heard without the volume turned up high.  The speakers are waterproof and made to withstand the weather.  Common are rock speakers that can be effortlessly incorporated into your landscape or hardscape design, and can add beauty as well as provide great sound.  And, if you are looking to throw the bash of the year, there are outdoor audio systems available that can get that job done, too.

For the family who prefers to watch a good movie together, there are many options to incorporate an outdoor TV or even a full home theater in your backyard.  Outdoor TV’s are waterproof and glare resistant, so you don’t have to worry about bringing your equipment in and out of the house according to the weather, and you don’t have to wait until the sun sets to enjoy your favorite movie.

If you choose to work with multiple contractors for various parts of the yard transformation, make sure that they are adhering to the initial design plan and communicate regularly regarding their progress.  A change in one aspect of installation can greatly affect the rest of the project.  It is often recommended that you instead find a local contractor who can provide both design and outdoor entertainment installation services for the entire job, including being able to oversee the landscape, hardscape and electrical installations, in order to avoid miscommunication issues which can cause delays and cost you additional time and money.

Adding an outdoor audio and visual entertainment system to a beautiful backyard will serve to increase the value of your home and will also provide you with a means for spending valuable time with your friends and family.
