Professional outdoor kitchen construction that transforms your backyard into the ultimate entertaining space.
Picture this: your guests gathered around a beautifully designed outdoor kitchen that works as seamlessly as your indoor space. No more running back and forth to the house while your food gets cold and conversations pause.
A properly built outdoor kitchen changes how you live. Weekend barbecues become effortless. Holiday gatherings expand beyond cramped indoor spaces. Even weeknight dinners feel special when you’re cooking outdoors with the family gathered around.
The right outdoor kitchen design integrates perfectly with your existing landscape and home architecture. Every appliance placement is intentional. Every surface is chosen for both beauty and durability against North Carolina’s weather. You get a space that looks stunning and functions flawlessly for years to come.
Union Landscaping and Hardscape S Corp has been creating exceptional outdoor living spaces throughout the Cornelius and Lake Norman area. We understand that outdoor kitchens require specialized knowledge that goes far beyond basic construction.
Every outdoor kitchen project involves complex considerations: proper utility routing, weather-resistant materials, code compliance, and seamless integration with existing hardscape. Our team handles these challenges with the expertise that comes from years of outdoor construction experience.
When you work with Union Landscaping, you’re working with contractors who know Cornelius building requirements, understand local soil conditions, and have established relationships with the best outdoor appliance suppliers in the area.
Your outdoor kitchen project starts with an on-site consultation where we assess your space, discuss your cooking and entertaining needs, and identify any utility or drainage considerations. This isn’t a sales pitch—it’s a thorough evaluation of what’s possible and practical for your specific property.
Next comes the design phase. We create detailed plans that show exactly how your outdoor kitchen will integrate with your existing landscape and hardscape. You’ll see appliance placement, utility routing, and material selections before any construction begins.
Construction happens in phases: site preparation and utility rough-ins first, then structural work and hardscape installation, followed by appliance installation and final connections. Throughout the process, we handle permits, inspections, and coordinate with utility companies so you don’t have to manage multiple contractors and schedules.

Your outdoor kitchen project includes everything needed for a fully functional cooking and entertaining space. Site preparation addresses drainage and ensures proper foundation work. Utility installation covers gas lines, electrical connections, and plumbing for sinks and ice makers.
Hardscape construction creates durable surfaces using materials chosen specifically for outdoor cooking environments. Counter installation uses materials that can handle hot pans, weather exposure, and regular cleaning without damage or staining.
Appliance installation goes beyond just setting equipment in place. Proper venting for grills, adequate clearances for safety, and weatherproof electrical connections ensure your outdoor kitchen operates safely and efficiently. We also handle final inspections and provide guidance on maintenance to keep your investment protected.
