Custom outdoor kitchen design and installation that handles North Carolina weather while creating the perfect space for year-round entertaining.
Your indoor kitchen wasn’t built for hosting twenty people at a barbecue. You’re cramped, running back and forth, missing the conversation happening outside while you’re stuck prepping inside.
An outdoor kitchen changes that completely. You’re part of the party while you cook. Your guests gather around the island instead of wandering off. The food tastes better when it’s grilled fresh and served immediately.
But here’s what most people don’t think about until it’s too late: North Carolina’s humidity and temperature swings destroy cheap outdoor kitchen setups within a few years. You need materials and installation methods that handle our climate, not something designed for Arizona or California.
Union Landscaping and Hardscape S Corp has been designing and building outdoor living spaces in the Sherwood Forest area for years. We understand what works in North Carolina’s climate and what doesn’t.
Most landscaping companies treat outdoor kitchens like an afterthought. We approach them like the major home investment they are. Every project gets proper planning for drainage, ventilation, and material selection that handles humidity without falling apart.
We’re not the cheapest option, and that’s intentional. You’re investing in an outdoor kitchen that still looks great and functions perfectly five years from now.
We start with a site consultation at your home. We’ll look at your existing outdoor space, discuss how you entertain, and identify the best location for your outdoor kitchen based on your yard’s layout and your family’s needs.
Next comes design and planning. We create detailed plans that show exactly what your outdoor kitchen will look like, including appliance placement, storage options, and how it integrates with your existing patio or deck. You’ll see 3D renderings before we break ground.
Installation typically takes two to three weeks depending on the project scope. We handle all the technical work – gas lines, electrical, plumbing if needed, and proper foundation preparation. You get daily updates and a clean job site every evening.
Ready to get started?
Your outdoor kitchen project includes custom design consultation, all necessary permits and inspections, and professional installation of your chosen appliances and features. We handle gas line installation, electrical work, and any plumbing connections for sinks or ice makers.
Material options include natural stone, engineered stone, and premium outdoor cabinetry designed specifically for exterior use. We work with top outdoor kitchen appliance brands and can source everything from basic grills to full outdoor refrigeration and wine storage.
Every installation includes proper drainage systems, adequate ventilation for safety, and weatherproofing that protects your investment. We also coordinate with existing hardscape features like patios, retaining walls, or outdoor fireplaces to create a cohesive outdoor living space.
