Outdoor Kitchens Are So Much More Than Just Picking a Grill
A well-built outdoor kitchen isn’t just about choosing appliances,
it’s thinking about how you will use your space, spacing, ventilation, and bringing it all together.
Without a clear plan, projects can quickly become frustrating, over budget, or difficult to use day-to-day.
Many homeowners don’t realize how many decisions go into building a space that actually functions well.
A Clear, Step-by-Step Design Process
-
We start by sitting down with you to understand your space and how you want to use it. Having rough measurements of your area helps us begin designing right away and keeps the process efficient.
-
We walk through layout, grill and appliance options, materials, colors, and overall configuration, building your outdoor kitchen in real time using design software.
-
Once your design is complete, we submit it for build and provide a detailed quote. This typically takes about 2 business days and clearly outlines what’s included.
-
After approval and payment, your kitchen is built and prepared for installation. Our team handles installation, ensuring everything is properly set up and ready to use. Typical timeline from approval to install is around 6–7 weeks.
Important Note
Plumbing and electrical work are not included in our installation but are clearly outlined in your quote, so you can coordinate those pieces as needed.

What Goes Into Your Outdoor Kitchen
Every outdoor kitchen is customized based on your space, cooking style, and preferences. The key elements we help you plan are:
Grills & Cooking Appliances
Choose from high-quality brands like AOG, Fire Magic, Bull, TruFlame, and Primo smokers, each offering different features depending on how you like to cook.
Cabinet Systems
We primarily use Stoll Industries outdoor kitchen systems, designed for durability, customization, and long-term performance.
Countertops
Outdoor kitchens can include a variety of countertop options, including granite, depending on your design preferences.
Layout & Function
We help you think through spacing, flow, and usability, so your kitchen isn’t just beautiful, but easy to use.
Ventilation & Safety
If your kitchen is under a covered space, proper ventilation (such as a hood system) is required for safety and code compliance.
