Construction Process

How We Build Weather-Proof Kitchens

We don't use flimsy metal frames that rust. We build solid masonry structures that will easily outlast the appliances installed inside them.

01Step

Design & Appliance Selection

We map out the layout (L-shape, U-shape, straight island) based on the specific dimensions of the appliances you choose.

02Step

Utility Trenching

Before the patio is laid, we trench and run conduit for natural gas lines, electricity, and plumbing directly to the island footprint.

03Step

Block Construction

We build the core of the kitchen using solid concrete blocks, ensuring it can support thousands of pounds of stone countertops.

04Step

Veneer & Countertop Finish

We apply the decorative stone veneer, install the granite or concrete countertops, and slide the stainless steel appliances into perfectly measured cutouts.

Kitchen Planning

Crucial Design Considerations

An outdoor kitchen is a significant investment. Careful planning prevents cramped workspaces and safety hazards.

The Working Triangle

Just like indoors, we design the layout so the grill, sink, and refrigerator form an efficient triangle for the cook.

Wind Direction

We position the grill so the prevailing winds carry smoke away from the seating areas and the house.

Countertop Materials

Granite is the gold standard. Quartz will discolor in UV sunlight, and tile countertops will crack when the grout freezes in winter.

Winterization

If you include a sink or fridge, the plumbing must be designed to be easily blown out and winterized before the first Buffalo freeze.

Must-Have Features

Elevate your outdoor kitchen from basic to breathtaking with these additions.

  • Trash pull-out drawers (keeps bees away)
  • Dedicated power outlets for blenders and phone chargers
  • A raised bar tier to hide the messy prep area from seated guests

Frequently Asked Questions

Outdoor Kitchen FAQs

Can you build an outdoor kitchen on my existing patio?

Usually, yes. If your patio is pavers, we can pull them up to run the necessary gas and electric lines underneath, build the kitchen, and relay the pavers around it. We cannot easily do this on poured concrete.

Do you supply the grills and appliances?

Clients typically purchase their own appliances (Bull, Blaze, Coyote, Weber) so they get exact features and warranties they want. You provide us the manufacturer's 'cutout dimensions,' and we build the masonry to fit them perfectly.

Is natural gas or propane better?

Natural gas is highly recommended. It requires trenching a line from your house meter, but you never have to worry about changing a heavy propane tank in the middle of a BBQ again.

How do I protect the kitchen in the winter?

The masonry and granite are fine in the snow. You simply need to buy a high-quality canvas cover for the grill head, shut off the water lines to any sinks, and bring the mini-fridge indoors (or unplug and leave it open).
