Custom outdoor kitchen design and installation that turns your space into the neighborhood gathering spot.
You’re tired of cramped indoor cooking when you want to be outside with family and friends. Your current setup means missing conversations, dealing with kitchen heat in summer, and constantly running back and forth.
A custom outdoor kitchen changes everything. Picture hosting without the stress – grilling, prepping, and serving all in one seamless flow while staying part of the action. Your guests gather around the cooking area instead of wandering off. Summer entertaining becomes something you look forward to, not something that heats up your house.
The right outdoor kitchen design works with your space, your style, and your entertaining habits. You get professional-grade functionality built to handle North Carolina weather, plus storage and prep space that actually makes sense for how you cook and entertain.
Union Landscaping and Hardscape S Corp has been creating functional outdoor living spaces throughout North Carolina for years. We understand how outdoor kitchens need to work in our climate – from handling summer humidity to winter freeze-thaw cycles.
We’re not just hardscape contractors who dabble in outdoor kitchens. This is what we do. We know which materials hold up, how to properly run utilities, and what design elements make the difference between a kitchen you use and one that sits empty.
Every project starts with understanding how you actually want to use your space. Then we design and build something that fits your lot, your budget, and your entertaining style.
We start with a site visit to understand your space, utilities, and vision. No generic designs – we measure, assess drainage and access, and discuss how you want to use your outdoor kitchen. This isn’t a sales pitch; it’s a real consultation about what works for your property.
Next comes design and planning. We create a layout that maximizes your space while ensuring proper utility connections and code compliance. You’ll see exactly what you’re getting before any work begins, including materials, appliances, and timeline.
Construction happens in phases – site prep, utility rough-in, hardscape installation, and final connections. We coordinate inspections and handle permits so you don’t have to navigate that process. Most outdoor kitchen projects take 2-3 weeks from start to finish, weather permitting.

Your outdoor kitchen installation includes everything needed for a fully functional cooking and entertaining space. We handle site preparation, utility connections for gas and electric, proper drainage, and hardscape construction using materials designed for outdoor use in North Carolina.
The construction process covers appliance installation, custom storage solutions, prep surfaces, and lighting. We work with quality manufacturers who stand behind their products and provide appliances rated for outdoor use. Every installation includes proper ventilation and safety features.
We also integrate your new outdoor kitchen with existing landscape and hardscape features. This means coordinating with patios, walkways, and plantings so everything flows together naturally. The result is an outdoor kitchen that looks like it was always meant to be part of your property.
