Outdoor kitchens include outdoor grills, usually natural gas or propane. With prices ranging from $ 500 to over $ 5,000, grills can be as simple as less expensive units sold at The Home Depot, contractor grade grills, to top of the line, wallet busting grills from Viking. Many people however remain fans of good old charcoal or mesquite wood for great tasting food. One of the most popular of these is the “Big Green Egg” which acts as a grill, oven and smoker.
The outdoor kitchen is a gathering point situated in a great landscape setting. Our outdoor kitchens can be placed near swimming pools with a water feature. Abundant flowers, beautiful trees and specimen plants provide visual focal points. A waterfall provides a soothing background noise. Stack stone retaining walls are beautiful, provide seating and help create level spaces. When planning for your outdoor kitchen, be sure to place it in a beautiful landscaped setting to maximize your outdoor living experience. Our photos here and in our image gallery can give you ideas of the possibilities.
Where a landscaping professional becomes involved in outdoor cooking, is by designing and building the environment you wish to experience while cooking and dining outside at your home. Choices include everything from concrete, paver or stone patios enhanced by landscaping to decks, or at the extreme, pavilions that include sofas, beverage stations, built in grills and fireplaces for additional ambiance.
A properly designed outdoor kitchen and dining area enhances the experience of cooking and eating alfresco and makes this area an extension of your home where tall tales are told and memories are made to last a lifetime.
