The overview

What it is, and why it matters.

An outdoor kitchen is a small building with serious utilities. We design the layout around how you cook and entertain, build the structure from concrete block or steel framing, face it in stone, stucco or tile, and coordinate gas, electrical, water and drains with licensed trades. Countertops in granite or concrete, stainless doors and drawers and proper ventilation keep it working for years.

Nashville summers are made for it, and so are the surprise rain showers, so we plan covered sections, drainage and appliances rated for outdoor use. We position the kitchen away from windows and overhangs, near the patio flow and with room for people to gather instead of getting in the cook's way.

Good questions

Outdoor Kitchens: common questions

How much does an outdoor kitchen cost?

Commonly published planning ranges run from the low five figures for a simple grill island to well into six figures for large, fully equipped kitchens. Appliances, counters and utilities drive the number, and a design gives real prices.

Do I need a permit?

Gas, electrical and sometimes structural work require permits and licensed trades. We coordinate them and explain what your city requires.
