An outdoor kitchen you will still use in year five

Plenty of outdoor kitchens get built and then abandoned, because nobody thought about where the cook stands, where the plates go, or how far it is to the fridge. We start with how you cook and entertain, then design the counter run around it.

Everything is built for the weather: masonry or marine-grade frames, stainless doors, stone or porcelain counters, and gas, water and power run properly during the build rather than trailed across the patio afterwards.

Built-In Grills

Stainless built-in grills, side burners, smokers and pizza ovens set into a masonry surround.

Stone Counters

Granite, quartzite and porcelain tops that survive sun, frost and spilled marinade.

Sinks & Fridges

Outdoor-rated sinks, ice bins and refrigeration, with plumbing planned for winter drain-down.

Storage & Doors

Stainless access doors, drawers and covered storage so nothing lives on the floor.

Bar Seating

Raised bar tops and overhangs so guests sit with the cook, not behind them.

Covered Pavilions

A roof over the cooking area so a rain shower does not end the evening.

Frequently asked questions

How much does an outdoor kitchen cost in South Carolina?

A simple grill island starts in the low thousands; a full covered kitchen with appliances, counters, sink and a fireplace runs much higher. Our outdoor kitchen cost guide gives real ranges by build level.

Do I need gas, water and power run out there?

Power almost always, gas if you want a built-in grill on natural gas, and water only if you want a sink. All three are far cheaper to run during the build than to retrofit.

What counter material handles SC weather best?

Granite, quartzite and porcelain all do well outdoors. Engineered quartz is generally not recommended outside because UV can discolour the resin.

Can you build one on my existing patio?

Often yes, if the slab or paver base can carry the load. We check the base first — a masonry kitchen is heavy and settling it after the fact is expensive.
