Outdoor kitchen design details

Put it near the house

A kitchen at the far end of the yard becomes a shed. Short trips to the real kitchen matter more than the view.

Shade and wind

Cooking in full afternoon sun or a prevailing wind is miserable. Orientation is a design decision.

Winterizable plumbing

Any water line outside has to drain completely. We plumb for October, not just July.

Outdoor kitchen questions

Covered patio kitchen with stone island and built in grill overlooking a lake in Omaha, NE

Ask us an outdoor kitchen question

What does an outdoor kitchen cost?

A grill island with counter space starts in the low five figures; a full kitchen with bar, fridge and stone runs well beyond that.

Do I need a roof over it?

Not required, but shade or cover greatly increases how often you use it and how long appliances last.

Can I have a sink?

Yes, with a drain plan and winterizable supply. Many owners skip it and add an ice bin instead.

Natural gas or propane?

Natural gas, wherever the line can reach. No tanks to swap and no running out mid-cook.

Will the stone survive winter?

The materials we use are freeze-stable. Failures come from bad footings and trapped water, which is what we detail against.
