Cook, Entertain & Enjoy Outdoors
An outdoor kitchen is a permanent, weather-resistant cooking and entertaining space built into your patio or outdoor living area. Evergreen Hardscaping constructs custom outdoor kitchens featuring built-in grills, countertops, bars, sinks, refrigeration, storage, and serving areas -- finished in natural stone, cultured stone, stucco, or brick veneer to match your home and hardscape.
Outdoor kitchen projects typically range from $20,000 for a dedicated grill station with countertops to $80,000 or more for a full kitchen with multiple cooking zones, a bar with seating, plumbing, and electrical. Most projects are completed in 3 to 6 weeks. Because Evergreen builds the kitchen and all surrounding hardscape -- patio, fire features, lighting, and landscaping -- your outdoor space comes together as one cohesive design.
Outdoor Kitchen Components
Every outdoor kitchen is custom designed to fit your space, cooking style, and budget. Here are the features and components we integrate into your design.
Built-In Grills & Cooktops
We install premium built-in gas grills from brands like Lynx, Fire Magic, Blaze, and Delta Heat. Options include side burners, sear stations, rotisseries, and flat-top griddles. Every grill is set into a custom masonry base with proper ventilation, access panels, and gas line connections. We size the grill to match how you cook and how many people you typically entertain.
Countertops & Work Surfaces
Outdoor countertops must withstand sun, rain, freeze-thaw cycles, and heavy use. We install granite, quartzite, soapstone, bluestone, and porcelain slab countertops designed specifically for outdoor environments. Each material offers different aesthetics and performance characteristics. We help you choose the right surface for your climate, cooking habits, and design preferences.
Bars & Seating Areas
An outdoor bar transforms your kitchen into a gathering point. We build raised bar tops with overhang for bar stools, integrated bottle storage, ice wells, and under-counter beverage refrigerators. L-shaped, U-shaped, and island configurations are all available depending on your patio layout and entertaining style.
Sinks & Plumbing
A sink makes your outdoor kitchen truly functional for food prep and cleanup. We install stainless steel sinks with hot and cold running water, connecting to your home's water supply with proper drainage. We can also add bar taps, pot-filler faucets, and waste disposal units. All plumbing is installed by licensed professionals.
Refrigeration & Storage
Built-in outdoor-rated refrigerators, beverage coolers, ice makers, and kegerators keep food and drinks cold without trips inside. We integrate storage cabinets, pull-out drawers, and trash pull-outs into the masonry base. Every appliance recess is precisely measured for a clean, built-in look with proper ventilation clearances.
Pizza Ovens & Smokers
Wood-fired pizza ovens and built-in smokers add versatility to your outdoor kitchen. We install both wood-burning and gas pizza ovens in freestanding or built-in configurations. Smoker cabinets integrate seamlessly into the kitchen island. These specialty cooking features become the centerpiece of your outdoor entertaining space.
Exterior Finish Options
The exterior finish of your outdoor kitchen base should complement your home, patio, and overall landscape design.
| Finish | Look | Durability | Best Paired With |
|---|---|---|---|
| Natural Stone Veneer | Rustic, organic, premium | Excellent - lifetime | Stone patios, natural landscapes |
| Cultured Stone | Consistent, refined | Very good - 25+ years | Paver patios, modern designs |
| Stucco | Clean, Mediterranean | Good - reseal periodically | Pool areas, contemporary homes |
| Brick Veneer | Classic, traditional | Excellent - lifetime | Brick homes, colonial styles |
| EP Henry Block | Uniform, modern | Excellent - 30+ years | Paver patios, retaining walls |
Outdoor Kitchen Process
From your first consultation to the first meal you cook, every step is planned, communicated, and executed with precision.
Design Consultation
On-site meeting to discuss your cooking style, entertaining needs, appliance preferences, and how the kitchen integrates with your patio and outdoor space.
3D Rendering
We create photorealistic 3D renderings showing your kitchen from multiple angles, complete with selected finishes, countertops, and appliance placement.
Material & Appliance Selection
Choose your stone/veneer finish, countertop material, grill brand, and all accessories. We coordinate ordering so everything arrives on schedule.
Foundation & Utilities
We install the concrete foundation, run gas lines, electrical conduit, and plumbing rough-ins. All utility work is performed by licensed professionals.
Masonry & Finish
The kitchen structure is built in concrete block, then finished in your selected stone, veneer, or stucco. Countertops are templated and installed for a precision fit.
Appliances & Final Connections
Grill, refrigerator, sink, and all appliances are installed and connected. We test every system, walk you through operation, and hand over warranty documentation.
More Than Just a Kitchen
An outdoor kitchen works best as part of a complete outdoor living area. Evergreen designs kitchens that integrate seamlessly with paver patios, fire features, water features, pergolas, landscape lighting, and pool surrounds. When one team handles every element, the result is a unified space where every feature flows together naturally.
We also consider practical details that many builders overlook: prevailing wind direction for smoke management, shade coverage for afternoon cooking, proximity to your indoor kitchen for convenience, and proper drainage to keep the cooking area dry and clean. These details make the difference between an outdoor kitchen you use occasionally and one that becomes the heart of your home life from spring through fall.
