Set the Stage with the Perfect Outdoor Kitchen Landscaping
Create the perfect setting for cooking or dining alfresco with a customized assortment of heat and drought-tolerant plants. Our experienced landscape architects understand the importance of planning and layout to protect delicate plants from cooking areas while enhancing ambiance. We’ll ensure the perfect blend of evergreens and colorful annuals for year-round visual interest, strategically locating plants for shade and privacy as well as wind and noise protection. We can also expand your greenery options with planters and raised beds, allowing you to integrate your favorite herbs and edibles into your personalized outdoor kitchen design.
Boost Beauty, Function, and Safety with Premium Hardscaping
Our outdoor kitchen construction team knows how to perfectly blend turf and greenery with hardscaping, integrating the ideal combination of patios and decking, stairs, and walkways. We also offer retaining wall and terracing design and construction, as well as low-voltage landscape lighting installation, to help you turn unused backyard real estate into easily accessible, usable space. We use only premium materials that withstand the Bay Area climate, including wood, concrete, brick, natural stone, stucco, stainless steel, and powder-coated metals, which provide years of use and look beautiful with minimal care.
Equip Your Outdoor Kitchen for Year-Round Use
No Bay Area backyard makeover is complete without weather protection. Incorporating outdoor shelter, such as a gazebo, pergola, or pavilion, ensures outdoor kitchen use and comfort in any weather. Options abound, from traditional wood gazebos and pavilions to cutting-edge adjustable metal and fiberglass pergolas featuring built-in gutters, fans, patio heaters, task, and mood lighting.
Invest in High-End Outdoor Kitchen Appliances for Enjoyable, Lasting Use
Go beyond the typical standalone grill, fully decking out your kitchen for optimal enjoyment with:
- Built-in smart grill with side burners or griddle
- Integrated smoker, rotisserie, or warming drawers
- Wood-fired, gas, or hybrid pizza oven
- Outdoor refrigerator or wine cooler
- Fireplace, firepit, bowl, or table
Improve Functionality with Custom Outdoor Kitchen Cabinets and Counters
Surround your kitchen with weather-ready cabinets and counters, complete with a built-in sink and plumbing, reducing trips indoors. We offer a variety of popular outdoor kitchen cabinet and counter finishes, including stainless steel, teak or treated hardwood, luxurious natural stone, and durable concrete.
Enhance Comfort and Enjoyment with Premium Outdoor Furnishings
Ensure an inviting, comfortable space with finely crafted outdoor furnishings that seamlessly transition and feel like an extension of your home. Our landscape architects can source or create any feature, from custom tables and bar tops to freestanding or built-in seating with cushy padding and mildew and UV-resistant fabric to accent your design. Up the ante with a Wi-Fi-enabled outdoor TV and sound system, pool table, and dartboard, so whether you’re cooking or relaxing outdoors, you’ll always be in the center of activities.
