The Other Half of the House
The pool. The covered pavilion. The outdoor kitchen with a real grill and a real hood. The fireplace that earns October. A Southlake backyard is the second living room of the house — and most of them are running on a Bluetooth speaker and a string of lights from 2014. TruDefinition brings these spaces fully alive with outdoor TVs that survive direct Texas sun, landscape audio that vanishes into the plantings, automated pool and spa control, and architectural lighting that turns the grounds on at sunset.
Carillon. Timber Lake. The Enclave. Every component we install is rated for the full North Texas spectrum — triple-digit summers, August thunderstorms, the occasional January freeze. Built to be enjoyed. Built to last.

Seasonal Care Training — Winterization, seasonal adjustments, and the small care moments that keep North Texas equipment going for years.
The Frustrations We Hear Most
- No real outdoor music — just a portable speaker on a side table doing its best
- An indoor TV pressed into outdoor service and slowly losing the fight with humidity
- Pool and landscape lights still on manual timers from a different decade
- Wi-Fi that ends at the back door
- Mosquitoes and the August sun making the prime months less prime
The Questions People Actually Ask.
What outdoor TVs do you recommend for covered patios in Southlake?
Samsung for partial-sun covered locations. For fully exposed positions in direct Texas sun, we use full-sun rated displays at 2,000-plus nits — visible at noon in August.
Can landscape speakers really cover a large Southlake backyard?
Yes. Steinway Lyngdorf landscape systems use small satellites distributed through the yard with buried subs for bass. The result is even coverage across half an acre or more — and the speakers are nearly invisible among the plantings.
How does pool automation integrate with my Southlake smart home?
Your pool controller comes onto the Savant platform. Pool temperature, pump schedules, spa jets, water features, lighting — all in the same app and panels you already use for everything else.
Do outdoor audio and TV systems need to be brought inside for winter?
No. Everything we install is rated for North Texas year-round — speakers, TVs, lighting, all of it. Below freezing to over 110, plus rain, humidity, and UV. Stays where it lives.
