Custom outdoor kitchens designed for North Carolina living, installed by contractors who understand what lasts.
You’re tired of running back and forth between your indoor kitchen and backyard grill. You want a real outdoor cooking space where you can prep, cook, and serve without missing the conversation.
A properly designed outdoor kitchen changes how you use your backyard. No more juggling plates through sliding doors or keeping drinks cold in a cooler that’s never quite cold enough. Everything you need is right there—counter space for prep work, storage for utensils, and appliances that can handle whatever you’re cooking.
Your guests stay put instead of wandering inside. Your family dinners happen outside more often. And when it’s time to sell, buyers see a backyard that’s actually functional, not just pretty.
Union Landscaping and Hardscape S Corp has been building outdoor living spaces in Double Oaks and surrounding North Carolina communities for years. We’re not the guys who show up, throw some stone together, and disappear when problems arise.
We understand North Carolina weather—the humidity that warps cheap materials, the freeze-thaw cycles that crack poorly installed stonework, and the summer storms that test every joint and seal. That’s why we use materials and techniques that hold up year after year.
When you call us back in five years, it’s because you want to add something new, not because something broke.
First, we come look at your space and listen to how you actually want to use it. Not every outdoor kitchen needs a pizza oven, and not every family needs a full bar setup. We design around your cooking style and entertaining habits.
Next comes the technical stuff—utilities, permits, and foundation work. We handle the boring parts so you don’t have to figure out electrical codes or gas line requirements. This is where corners get cut by other contractors, but it’s also where problems start years later.
Then we build it. Stone by stone, appliance by appliance, until you have a kitchen that works the way you imagined. We test everything before we call it done, because finding out your gas line has issues during your first dinner party isn’t acceptable.
Ready to get started?
Every outdoor kitchen we build starts with proper foundation work and utility planning. Gas lines, electrical connections, and plumbing rough-ins happen before any stone gets laid. Skip this step, and you’ll have expensive problems later.
We source materials that make sense for Double Oaks weather. Natural stone that doesn’t absorb water and crack in winter. Stainless steel that resists humidity and salt air. Concrete work that’s sealed properly from day one.
Your appliances get integrated the right way—with proper clearances, adequate ventilation, and connections that won’t fail when you need them most. We’ve seen too many beautiful outdoor kitchens that don’t actually work because someone didn’t understand appliance requirements.
