Questions

Find answers about designing, building, and maintaining your outdoor kitchen.

How long does construction take?

Most outdoor kitchens take two to four weeks from start to finish. The timeline depends on size, materials, and site conditions. We'll give you a clear schedule before we break ground.

What materials do you recommend?

We use granite, natural stone, stainless steel, and sealed wood because they stand up to weather and heavy use. Each material is chosen for durability and how it looks. We'll walk you through the options.

Can you customize the layout?

Yes. We design each kitchen around how you want to use it. Whether you need more counter space, a larger grill, or specific seating, we build it your way.

What about drainage and ventilation?

Proper drainage keeps water from pooling and damaging the structure. Ventilation moves smoke and heat away safely. Both are built into every kitchen we construct.

How do I maintain it?

Seal stone surfaces once a year and clean the grill regularly. Keep gutters clear and check for standing water after heavy rain. We provide maintenance tips when we finish.

How long does it take?

Granite and natural stone handle weather and use without fading or cracking. Stainless steel and sealed wood resist rust and rot. We choose materials that earn their place in your yard.

What materials work best?

We design around how you cook and gather. More grill space, extra counter room, or a larger bar—we build it to fit your life. Every layout is custom.

Can you customize layouts?

Water pooling rots wood and cracks stone. Smoke and heat need somewhere to go. We slope surfaces and install proper vents so your kitchen stays sound for years.

Why does drainage matter?

Seal stone once a year and clean the grill after each use. Clear gutters and check for standing water after rain. We'll give you the full maintenance plan when we finish.
