Custom Outdoor Kitchen & BBQ Island Installation

Choose the right location

Consider the accessibility and traffic patterns in your backyard. You’ll want easy access to your home and, if applicable, think about the direction of the prevailing wind to evaluate where the grill’s smoke will blow. Additionally, take into account the views from inside your home and what your outdoor kitchen will overlook. Our designers can assist you in selecting an ideal location.

Consider how you will use your kitchen

If you’re investing in an outdoor kitchen, it’s essential to ensure it aligns with your family’s needs and preferences. How do you envision using this space? It should fit seamlessly into your landscape design while also enhancing the functionality of your backyard.

Design your outdoor kitchen or BBQ island with performance in mind

Your outdoor kitchen should operate similarly to your indoor kitchen. Ensure you have designated areas for tasks like food preparation, cooking, plating, and serving. Proper lighting is crucial, even if you think you won’t use your patio at night. In the early evening, it’s important to have well-lit work surfaces for safety and comfort.

Audition a spot

Set up a portable grill along with a table and chairs to experience cooking and dining in your selected location. Try this setup at different times of day to see how changing sunlight affects your space. Pay attention to the ease of transporting items from your main kitchen and take note of your pathways. You may need to repeat this exercise in various spots to find the best place for your outdoor kitchen.”
