Custom outdoor kitchen design and construction that turns your outdoor space into the heart of your home.
You’ve been thinking about it for months. Maybe years. That empty patio or deck that could be so much more than a place to store the grill.
Picture this instead: Sunday morning coffee at your outdoor bar while bacon sizzles on a built-in cooktop. Weekend gatherings where you’re not stuck inside missing the conversation. Summer dinners where the kitchen heat stays outside where it belongs.
Your outdoor kitchen becomes the space everyone gravitates toward. The place where memories happen naturally. Where cooking feels less like work and more like part of the fun. And when it’s built right, with materials that handle North Carolina’s weather swings, it’s a space you’ll use year-round, not just when the stars align.
Union Landscaping and Hardscape has been creating outdoor living spaces in Grove Park and surrounding areas for years. We know what works here and what doesn’t.
We’ve seen the outdoor kitchen projects that fall apart after one winter. The ones where the homeowner calls six months later asking why their investment looks tired already. That’s not how we work.
When we design your outdoor kitchen, we’re thinking about July humidity and January freeze-thaw cycles. We’re planning for the dinner parties you’ll host and the quiet mornings you’ll enjoy alone. Because an outdoor kitchen should make your life better, not give you another thing to worry about.
We start by walking your space with you. Not to sell you something, but to understand how you actually live. Do you entertain large groups or prefer intimate dinners? Are you a serious cook or more of a grilling enthusiast? What’s your realistic budget, and where should we focus to get the biggest impact?
Then we design something that makes sense for your space, your lifestyle, and your budget. No cookie-cutter solutions. We’re talking about appliance placement that creates natural workflow, storage that actually stores what you need, and seating that encourages conversation instead of awkward standing around.
Construction happens in phases so your yard isn’t a disaster zone for months. We handle permits, inspections, and all the details that can derail a project. You’ll know what’s happening when, and we’ll communicate if anything changes. When we’re done, you’ll have an outdoor kitchen that works the way you hoped it would.

Your outdoor kitchen construction includes everything from foundation work to final appliance connections. We’re talking about proper drainage so water goes where it should, electrical work that meets code and handles your appliance loads, and gas lines run safely and efficiently.
Material selection matters more outdoors than in. We use stone, concrete, and steel that can handle Grove Park’s climate extremes. Your countertops won’t crack when temperatures swing forty degrees in a day. Your cabinets won’t warp when humidity spikes in summer.
We coordinate with appliance manufacturers to ensure proper installation and warranty coverage. Every outdoor kitchen remodeling project includes detailed planning for utilities, ventilation, and storage. Because the difference between an outdoor kitchen that enhances your life and one that becomes a maintenance headache usually comes down to the details most people never see.
