Industries We Serve

Product Category Expansion for Manufacturers and Distributors Across Contractor-Driven Industries

Your customers are already completing full outdoor projects. They’re buying lighting, audio, controls, and accessories — from someone. Global Outdoor Living helps manufacturers and distributors own more of that project by launching private label and co-branded product programs that fit naturally into your existing channel relationships.

Built for the Industries That Build Outdoor Spaces

We don’t work with everyone. We partner exclusively with manufacturers and large distributors operating in contractor-driven industries — companies that already have strong channel relationships and are looking to expand their product footprint without building product development infrastructure from scratch.

If your customers are contractors, dealers, or project-oriented buyers, and they’re completing outdoor builds of any kind, there is a product category expansion opportunity waiting inside your existing distribution network. We help you capture it.

Industry Sectors

Category Expansion Across Distribution Channels

Building Materials Manufacturers & Distributors

Turn Every Building Material Order Into a Full Project Sale

Building material manufacturers and distributors already have deep contractor relationships and established jobsite presence. The challenge is that contractors completing exterior and outdoor projects are sourcing lighting, audio, and accessory products from a completely separate vendor — often a competitor.

Global Outdoor Living helps building material companies develop private label and co-branded outdoor lighting and accessory programs that fit naturally alongside their existing product line. When a contractor is sourcing siding, trim, or exterior cladding, they should be able to source the lighting and accessory components from the same supplier.

Product Applications Include:

Exterior and architectural lighting, low voltage landscape lighting, hardscape and pathway lighting, outdoor audio, smart controls, transformers, and project-level outdoor accessories.

Landscape Supply Distributors

Give Landscape Contractors Everything They Need to Complete the Job

Landscape supply distributors serve contractors who are designing and installing full outdoor environments — and those environments increasingly include lighting, audio, and smart control systems. The problem is that most landscape supply distributors either don't carry these categories at all, or they carry commodity brands with no differentiation or margin protection.

Global Outdoor Living helps landscape supply distributors launch branded product programs — private label or co-branded — specifically designed to align with contractor purchasing habits, project scope, and seasonal demand cycles.

Product Applications Include:

Low voltage landscape lighting systems, path and area lighting, transformer programs, wireless audio, rock and landscape speakers, smart controls, and outdoor living accessories.

Hardscape Manufacturers & Distributors

Lighting and Accessories Belong on Every Hardscape Project

Walls, steps, patios, outdoor kitchens, and fire features are among the most installed elements in modern outdoor living projects — and they all benefit from integrated lighting and accessory products. Hardscape manufacturers and distributors are in a unique position to sell these products, because their contractors and dealers are already on the jobsite where the installation happens.

We help hardscape companies develop product programs — from hardscape-specific lighting to structure and patio accessories — that create meaningful attachment sales and extend the value of every project.

Product Applications Include:

Step and riser lighting, cap and wall lighting, retaining wall accent lighting, patio and outdoor kitchen lighting, structure and pergola lighting, hardscape-specific accessory programs.

Concrete, Masonry, Retaining Wall & Paver Manufacturers

Create Product Revenue That Goes Deeper Than the Slab

Concrete, masonry, and paver manufacturers operate in a highly competitive commodity space. The opportunity for margin and brand differentiation lies in the accessories, lighting, and technology products that surround and complete concrete-based outdoor installations.

Global Outdoor Living works with concrete and paver companies to identify product expansion opportunities that fit the project types their contractors are completing — and develop private label programs that can be sold through their existing dealer network.

Product Applications Include:

Concrete step and pathway lighting, paver and driveway border lighting, retaining wall and masonry lighting, low voltage landscape lighting programs, and concrete-adjacent accessory items.

Irrigation Distributors

Low Voltage and Lighting Are a Natural Extension of What You Already Sell

Irrigation distributors already operate in the low voltage space. They have established relationships with landscape contractors, familiarity with underground wiring systems, and the distribution infrastructure needed to support a lighting and controls program. The transition to selling low voltage lighting and smart outdoor controls is one of the shortest paths to category expansion for any distributor in the green industry.

Global Outdoor Living helps irrigation distributors build out complementary product programs in landscape lighting, smart outdoor controls, and outdoor living accessories — all under their own brand or a co-branded program.

Product Applications Include:

Low voltage landscape lighting, transformers, smart lighting controls, wireless audio for outdoor environments, outdoor power accessories, and control-compatible smart outdoor devices.

Decking & Railing Manufacturers

Turn Deck Projects Into Complete Branded Outdoor Experiences

Decking and railing manufacturers are producing the foundation of the outdoor living space — and yet most are leaving significant revenue on the table by not offering lighting, audio, and accessory products that complete the deck build. Contractors and dealers who buy your decking products are already installing lights, speakers, and technology on those decks. Those should be your products.

We help decking and railing manufacturers develop branded accessory programs — from deck and post lighting to railing-integrated audio and smart outdoor accessories — that increase the total value of every project sale and improve dealer attachment rates.

Product Applications Include:

Deck post cap lighting, railing and under-rail lighting, step and riser lighting, deck and dock audio, Bluetooth and wireless speaker systems, smart outdoor controls, and deck accessory programs.

Outdoor Structure Manufacturers

Every Structure You Sell Is an Opportunity to Sell the Full Experience

Pergolas, pavilions, and outdoor structures have become centerpieces of the modern backyard — and buyers expect them to be fully equipped with lighting, audio, and technology. Structure manufacturers who don't offer these products are leaving their dealers without a complete solution and handing revenue to third-party accessory brands.

Global Outdoor Living helps outdoor structure manufacturers develop fully integrated product programs — lighting, audio, smart controls, and lifestyle accessories — that can be bundled, kitted, or sold as add-ons through existing dealer networks.

Product Applications Include:

Structure and overhead lighting, string and festoon lighting systems, weatherproof outdoor speakers, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi audio systems, smart outdoor controls, pergola and pavilion accessory kits, and branded bundling programs.

Pool & Spa Distributors

Outdoor Lighting and Audio Complete Every Pool Environment

The pool and spa market is one of the strongest growth segments in outdoor living — and contractors installing pools are also completing full outdoor environments that require lighting, audio, and smart control systems. Pool and spa distributors who carry complementary outdoor product programs give their contractors a one-stop solution and create meaningful margin opportunities in categories that rarely face commodity pressure.

We partner with pool and spa distributors to develop private label and co-branded programs in outdoor lighting, landscape audio, and outdoor technology products.

Product Applications Include:

Low voltage landscape and path lighting, poolside and patio lighting, outdoor audio systems, wireless and Bluetooth speakers, smart outdoor controls, underwater-adjacent accent lighting, and pool environment accessory programs.

Large Garden Center Distributors

Private Label Outdoor Living Products Built for the Garden Channel

Large garden center distributors serve a broad base of independent retailers, lifestyle buyers, and seasonal project customers. Outdoor lighting, audio, and accessory products are highly compatible with the garden channel — but most available brands are either too contractor-focused or too commodity-driven to perform well in this environment.

Global Outdoor Living helps large garden center distributors develop private label and co-branded outdoor living product programs that are designed and packaged for the garden retail environment — with the right aesthetic, price points, and seasonal selling programs to drive sell-through.

Product Applications Include:

Lifestyle landscape lighting, garden path and accent lighting, decorative outdoor audio, planter and garden-integrated speaker systems, smart outdoor controls, and private label outdoor living accessory programs designed for retail presentation.

Why This Matters

Your Customers Are Already Buying These Products. They Should Be Buying Them From You.

Contractors, dealers, and project buyers don't stop at the core product. They source everything they need to complete the job — and if you're not offering the complementary categories, another supplier is capturing that revenue, margin, and brand loyalty.

The outdoor lighting, audio, and accessory market is growing year over year, driven by contractor demand, outdoor living investment trends, and the rise of full-environment outdoor design. The question isn't whether the opportunity exists in your channel. The question is whether your brand is positioned to capture it.

Global Outdoor Living exists to help you answer that question with a real product program — not a catalog restock, but a branded, engineered, compliant, and fully supported expansion into categories your customers are already buying.

  • Turn uncaptured accessory volume into high-margin catalog revenue.
  • Protect contractor and dealer account loyalty within your footprint.
  • Fully compliant engineering reviews before product market launch.
