Custom outdoor kitchens designed for North Carolina living, built to last decades.
You’re not just adding appliances to your patio. You’re creating the space where your family actually wants to spend time.
Think about it. Summer evenings when cooking indoors makes your house feel like an oven. Weekend gatherings where you’re stuck inside while everyone else enjoys the weather. Holiday prep when your kitchen becomes a bottleneck.
An outdoor kitchen changes all of that. You’re outside with your guests instead of isolated indoors. Your home stays cool while you’re grilling, prepping, and serving. The kids can play in the yard while you cook dinner.
But here’s what most people don’t realize until after they build one: it becomes the heart of your property. Not just for entertaining, but for regular family meals, morning coffee, even quiet evenings when you want to be outside but still need to get dinner ready.
Union Landscaping and Hardscape S Corp handles outdoor kitchens differently than most contractors. We’re not just installers dropping appliances on a concrete pad.
We understand how your outdoor kitchen needs to work with your existing landscape, drainage, and the way you actually use your backyard. That matters more than you might think.
Most outdoor kitchen projects fail because the contractor only knows appliances or only knows hardscaping. We know both. Your outdoor kitchen gets integrated properly with your landscape, utilities run correctly, and drainage handled right the first time.
We start with your space and how you want to use it. Not a catalog of pre-designed layouts, but what actually makes sense for your property and your family.
Site evaluation comes first. We’re looking at utilities, drainage, sight lines, and how the kitchen connects to your house and existing outdoor areas. This prevents problems later.
Design happens next, but it’s collaborative. We’re not drawing something and hoping you like it. You see options, understand trade-offs, and make decisions based on real information about costs and functionality.
Installation follows a sequence that keeps your yard usable and your project on schedule. Utilities and hardscaping first, then appliances and finishing work. You know what’s happening when, and why.
Ready to get started?
Your outdoor kitchen project includes design, permits, utilities, hardscaping, appliance installation, and landscape integration. We handle the coordination so you don’t have to manage multiple contractors.
Electrical and plumbing get run properly, with permits and inspections handled. Gas lines sized correctly for your appliances. Water connections that won’t freeze in winter. These details matter for long-term functionality.
Countertops, storage, and work surfaces designed for outdoor use and North Carolina weather. Materials that look good now and still look good in ten years. Proper drainage so water doesn’t pool or create problems.
Lighting and electrical outlets placed where you’ll actually use them. Not just basic functionality, but the details that make the space work for real cooking and entertaining.
