Start your design consultationThe problem with most setups
Sound that works indoors
falls apart outside.
A Bluetooth speaker on the deck. Volume cranked to cover the yard, which means it’s too loud near the speaker and inaudible fifteen feet away. Dead zones at the edge of the patio. Music that cuts out when someone walks past with their phone. Gear you drag in every time it rains.
Outdoor audio is an engineering problem, not a speaker problem. The space, the surfaces, the coverage distances — those determine whether a system actually works. Getting that right requires a different approach than indoor audio.
How we design coverage
Coverage first.
Equipment second.
Most outdoor audio installations start with a speaker product and figure out placement later. We start with your space — how you use it, where people gather, what surfaces reflect sound and which absorb it — and design the coverage from there.
A covered patio behaves completely differently than an open pool deck. Trees and fences affect how sound travels. A system designed around your actual space delivers even volume at a comfortable level everywhere, instead of blasting the area near the speakers and leaving the corners quiet.
Locally owned by Zach Everett in Lima, Ohio. We install outdoor audio as part of a complete exterior system — designed alongside your landscape lighting so the wiring, zones, and controls work together from day one.
The process
From conversation to first song.
We handle the design, the wiring, and the tuning. You just tell us how you use the space.
We assess your space and gear
We start by understanding how you actually use your outdoor space — where people gather, what zones matter most — and what audio equipment you already have or want to integrate. Photos, notes, and a clear picture of the outcome you’re after.
Custom system design
We spec the right speakers for your coverage needs, design the zone layout, and select amplification and control hardware that fits your lifestyle. Whether it’s a simple patio setup or a multi-zone estate system, the design is built around your property specifically.
Installation and tuning
Our team handles all interior and exterior wiring, speaker placement, and amplifier setup. Before we leave, the system is tuned — levels balanced, zones tested, controls confirmed. You walk outside that evening and press play.

Built to last outside
Ohio weather is hard
on outdoor equipment.
Ours handles it.
Heat, humidity, freeze-thaw cycles, and UV exposure degrade consumer-grade speakers fast. The equipment we install is rated for continuous outdoor exposure. We’ve seen what happens when people use indoor or semi-outdoor speakers outside in Ohio — it’s not a question of if they fail, it’s when.
Beyond the speakers, the wiring matters. All cabling is properly rated for direct burial, routed to avoid damage points, and connected with weatherproof terminations. A system that sounds great on day one should still sound great in year five.
Integrated with your landscape lighting system. If you already have or are planning landscape lighting, we design your audio and lighting together from the start — shared trenching, coordinated zones, and a single system that controls both. Most clients who add audio to an existing lighting system save significantly on installation costs because the ground work is already done.
Investment
What outdoor audio costs in Northwest Ohio
Every system is custom. These ranges reflect what most homeowners in the Lima and Findlay area invest for a complete outdoor audio installation.
to $3,000
Covered patio or deck. 2 to 4 satellite speakers, amplification, and a single source input. A solid starting system for one defined space.
to $6,000
Patio plus yard or pool coverage. Satellite speakers plus an in-ground subwoofer. Independent zone control. This is where most clients land on the first project.
and up
Multiple zones across the full property with advanced control, multiple amplification channels, and full integration with your landscape lighting system.
Every proposal is custom. Investment depends on the number of zones, speaker count, amplification requirements, and whether we’re integrating with an existing lighting system. If you already have lighting installed, your audio costs less — we’re running new cabling through existing trenches.
What clients say
You stop noticing the speakers. You start enjoying the space.
That’s the goal. When the system is designed correctly, it disappears.
“The sound system is amazing when the family is outside. Light Up Lima did an amazing job. They were very professional and completed the job quickly.”
“Several-year client here. This team is amazing. Well-mannered, clean, fast, efficient. In the rare instance there’s a problem, service is over the top. A true gem.”
“Nice to see a business that does exactly what it says it will do, when it says it will do it. A job very well done and completed on time.”
How much does outdoor audio installation cost in Northwest Ohio?
Most outdoor audio systems in the Lima and Findlay area fall between $1,500 and $6,000 depending on the number of zones, speaker count, and whether we’re integrating with an existing lighting system. Single-zone patio systems start around $1,500. Multi-zone setups with a subwoofer typically run $3,000 to $6,000. Estate systems with full property coverage are quoted custom. If you already have landscape lighting installed, your audio costs less — we share the trenching.
What kind of outdoor speakers do you install?
We install satellite speakers, in-ground subwoofers, and landscape speakers designed to blend into the environment — including boulder and planter-style speakers that are virtually undetectable. All equipment is weather-rated for year-round outdoor exposure, UV-stable, and built for Ohio’s seasonal temperature swings.
Can outdoor audio be integrated with my landscape lighting?
Yes, and it’s one of the biggest advantages of using one company for both. We design the systems together from the start — shared trenching, coordinated zones, and controls that work together. If you already have landscape lighting from us, adding audio later is straightforward and significantly less disruptive than starting from scratch.
Will the speakers be visible once installed?
Satellite speakers are small and positioned to blend with their surroundings — mounted on structures or placed in landscaping. In-ground subwoofers are buried flush in mulch or soil and are essentially invisible. All cabling is buried or concealed. Most guests don’t realize there’s an audio system until they ask where the sound is coming from.
How do you handle coverage across a large outdoor space?
Coverage is an engineering problem, not just a speaker count question. We design placement based on your actual space — surfaces, distances, how sound travels across open areas versus covered structures. The goal is even volume everywhere at a comfortable level, not loud near the speakers and quiet at the edges. Most systems use 2 to 6 satellites per zone depending on size and layout.
Do you service and repair existing outdoor audio systems?
Yes. We evaluate and repair outdoor audio systems installed by other companies, diagnose coverage and wiring issues, and upgrade outdated equipment. If you have a system that isn’t performing the way it should, we’ll assess it and tell you honestly whether repair or replacement makes more sense.
