Custom outdoor kitchens designed for North Carolina weather and your lifestyle.
You’ve been thinking about it for months. That empty corner of your backyard could be so much more than grass and a basic patio. Picture this instead: friends gathering around while you prep dinner on your custom outdoor kitchen island, kids playing nearby while you keep an eye on them, and no more running back and forth to your indoor kitchen every time someone needs a drink.
An outdoor kitchen changes how you use your entire backyard. You’ll find yourself cooking outside more often, even on weeknights. Your entertaining becomes effortless because everything you need is right there. And when it’s time to sell, you’re looking at a significant return on investment that most indoor renovations can’t match.
The key is getting it built right the first time. You need someone who understands North Carolina’s weather patterns, knows which materials hold up to our humid summers and occasional freezing winters, and can handle everything from gas lines to electrical work without cutting corners.
Union Landscaping and Hardscape S Corp has been creating outdoor living spaces in Ashley Park and surrounding areas for years. We’re not the contractors who disappear after the job or cut corners to win bids. We’re the ones your neighbors recommend because we show up when we say we will and build things right.
Our team handles outdoor kitchen projects from start to finish. Design consultation, permits, utility connections, construction, and final inspections. We work with the same material suppliers and appliance dealers consistently, which means better pricing for you and relationships that matter when something needs warranty work down the road.
You’ll work directly with our crew throughout your project. No subcontractors you’ve never met showing up to handle critical parts of your installation.
We start with a site visit to your property. You’ll show us the space, tell us how you want to use your outdoor kitchen, and we’ll discuss what’s realistic for your budget and timeline. We’re not there to oversell you on features you don’t need, but we will point out opportunities you might not have considered.
Next comes design and planning. We’ll create a layout that works with your existing backyard, handle permit applications, and coordinate utility connections if you need gas, electrical, or plumbing run to the site. This phase takes time, but it prevents expensive surprises during construction.
Construction typically takes two to four weeks depending on your kitchen’s complexity. We’ll prep the foundation, build your countertops and storage areas, install appliances, and handle final inspections. You’ll know exactly what’s happening each day and when to expect completion.
Ready to get started?
Every outdoor kitchen we build includes proper foundation work designed for North Carolina’s soil conditions and weather patterns. Your countertops, storage, and appliance housing get built with materials that won’t crack, fade, or require constant maintenance. We’re talking about granite or concrete counters, weather-resistant cabinetry, and structural work that handles everything from summer storms to winter freezes.
Appliance installation covers gas grills, side burners, refrigeration, and any specialty equipment you want included. We handle the utility connections properly – no jury-rigged gas lines or electrical work that fails inspection. If your design includes features like outdoor sinks, ice makers, or built-in storage, those get integrated seamlessly into your overall layout.
You’ll also get guidance on appliance selection. We work with homeowners every day who get overwhelmed by options, and we can steer you toward brands and models that perform well in outdoor environments without pushing you toward the most expensive options unnecessarily.
