A designed exterior for 10 Keeney Pond Road. One hundred and twenty brass fixtures and eight bollard speakers.
Every lighting fixture in this plan is solid vintage brass, specified in a single 2700K warm white so the house, the plantings, and the hardscape read as one composition after dark.
The audio follows the same discipline. Eight Coastal Source bollards and a buried subwoofer distribute even coverage across the front approach and the rear terrace, driven by two rack-mounted amplifiers indoors. No speaker cabinets on the walls, no compromise in the sound.
Coastal Source bollards sit low in the landscape and throw sound across the property at conversation volume. Two zones run independently from the rack, so the front approach and the rear terrace never have to share a source. Every connection in the system is a sealed Plug+Play coupling rated for direct burial.
The flagship of the 1000 Series. A 7″×10″ coaxial driver and weatherized ribbon tweeter over dual 6.5″ force-cancelling woofers — full-range output with long throw across the terrace.
Set into the beds along the walk and the pool surround. Directional dispersion places sound where people stand and keeps it off the property line.
Sealed acoustic suspension enclosure buried at the terrace. Music keeps its body at low listening levels, where outdoor systems usually thin out.
Impact-resistant grille — multi-layer environmental protection for harsh outdoor conditions
Anti-diffraction waveguide — smoother dispersion and more natural coverage
Internal aluminum conduit — thermal stability and structural reinforcement
Modular interchangeable design — satellite and subwoofer sections stack per location
8C16 Uni-Connect Plug+Play cable — one sealed cable carries the whole run
Uni-Connect terminated cable — every connection is a sealed, tool-free, waterproof coupling rated for direct burial. No splices, no gel caps, no failure points.
The terrace is served by two independent amplifier legs. They can play the same source together for a party, or run separately so the pool deck and the surrounding beds hold different volumes.
Six directional bollards ring the deck and the planting beds behind the retaining wall, with the subwoofer set mid-run. Even coverage at conversation volume, no hot spot at any lounge chair.
The two flagship ellipse bollards sit above the wall in the tree line, throwing full-range sound down across the water. This is the pair that carries music when the whole terrace is in use.
Coastal Source covers speakers, CRS amplifiers, Coastal Connectors and cable under a five-year residential limited warranty against defects in material and functionality. Claims run through us as your installing dealer.
Tax not included.
Tax not included. Our installation labor is quoted once for the whole project rather than per yard; trenching, burial and fixture setting are quoted separately by your landscape contractor. See the investment summary below.
Solid brass patinas naturally and carries a lifetime finish warranty. One color temperature across every fixture keeps the property visually consistent.
Each pair is rendered from an identical camera. Nothing changes but the lighting.
Rendered from the fixture placement plan at the specified 2700K output. Aiming is finalized on site after dark.
Tax not included. Excludes landscape trenching and wire burial for both systems, and the setting of the light fixtures — below.
We deliberately leave this portion to your landscape contractor, who is already working the grounds and knows where the irrigation, roots and grade lines run. It covers both systems: once we have staged and flagged every fixture and speaker location and laid out the wire runs, your landscaping team trenches and buries the wire, and sets the light fixtures to our flags.
What we need from you: bring your landscaper in to quote that work against this plan. We are happy to walk the flagged layout with them before they price it, and we return after burial to aim every beam and commission the system.
Boston Automations labor is limited to the scope set out in the responsibility matrix below. Trenching and wire burial — for both the lighting and the audio — and the final setting of the light fixtures are quoted separately by your landscape contractor and are not included in the total. The Wi-Fi access point is installed and configured as part of our scope, but the hardware itself is billed separately and is not included in the total above. Cable and transformer figures are estimates and are finalized once the design is circuited. Quantities may change based on field conditions. Sales tax applies unless a resale certificate is on file.
Three parties bring this project in. This matrix sets out who owns what, so there are no surprises on site and nothing falls between us and your landscape contractor.

Trenching, burial and fixture setting are contracted directly between you and your landscape contractor and are not included in our figure. We flag every location and lay the wire out before they start, walk the layout with them on request, and return after dark to aim the system once burial is complete.
We walk the plan with you on site at dusk and adjust placement before anything is ordered.
The design is circuited and cable and transformer counts firm up. We issue our final proposal, and your landscaper prices the trenching and fixture setting against the same plan.
We unbox and assemble every fixture and speaker, flag each location and the wire paths, and lay out the runs. Your landscape contractor then trenches and buries the wire, and sets the light fixtures to our flags.
Once burial is complete we return to make the speaker and amplifier connections, aim every beam after dark, program the scenes and tune the audio zone by zone.
