Custom outdoor kitchens designed for your space, built to last, installed by First Ward’s trusted contractors.
You know that feeling when you’re stuck inside cooking while everyone else enjoys the party outside. An outdoor kitchen changes that completely.
Picture hosting dinner parties where you’re part of the conversation, not missing it. Your guests gather around while you grill, prep, and serve without running back and forth to the house. The kids play in the yard while you keep an eye on them and handle dinner at the same time.
Your outdoor kitchen becomes the natural gathering spot. Weekend mornings with coffee outside. Family dinners under the stars. Holiday entertaining that flows seamlessly from inside to out. You’re not just adding a cooking space – you’re creating the backdrop for years of memories while boosting your home’s value in the process.
Union Landscaping and Hardscape S Corp has been creating outdoor living spaces throughout First Ward and the greater Charlotte area for years. We understand this neighborhood – the lot sizes, the soil conditions, and what works best in North Carolina’s climate.
We’re not just outdoor kitchen contractors. We’re landscaping and hardscape specialists who know how to integrate your kitchen seamlessly with your existing outdoor space. That means proper drainage, thoughtful placement, and design that complements your home’s architecture.
You’ll work directly with our team from design through completion. No subcontractors you’ve never met showing up to handle the important stuff.
First, we come to your property for a consultation. We’ll look at your space, discuss how you want to use your outdoor kitchen, and talk through options that fit your budget and timeline.
Next comes the design phase. We create detailed plans that show exactly what your kitchen will look like and where everything goes. This includes utility planning – gas lines, electrical, plumbing, and proper drainage. We handle all permit applications and make sure everything meets local codes.
Construction starts with site preparation and utility rough-ins. Then we build the structure, install your appliances, and complete all the finishing work. Throughout the process, we keep your yard as clean as possible and stick to the timeline we agreed on. You’ll know what’s happening each step of the way.

Every outdoor kitchen we build includes proper foundation work, utility connections, and weatherproof construction designed for North Carolina’s climate. We use materials that hold up to heat, cold, rain, and humidity without constant maintenance.
Your kitchen design is completely custom. We’re not installing the same setup in every backyard. The layout, appliance selection, counter space, and storage all get planned around how you actually cook and entertain. Some clients want elaborate setups with multiple cooking surfaces. Others prefer simple, clean designs focused on grilling and prep space.
We coordinate all the details that other contractors often overlook. Proper lighting so you can cook after dark. Adequate electrical capacity for your appliances. Gas line sizing that delivers consistent pressure. Integration with your existing landscape so the kitchen looks like it belongs there, not like an afterthought.
