Custom outdoor kitchens designed for North Carolina living, installed by contractors who actually show up.
You know that feeling when you’re hosting a barbecue and you’re constantly running back and forth to the indoor kitchen. Missing conversations, missing moments, missing the whole point of outdoor entertaining.
A properly designed outdoor kitchen changes everything. You’ve got your prep space, cooking area, and storage right where the action happens. Your guests stay engaged, you stay present, and suddenly your backyard becomes the place everyone wants to be.
The best part? In North Carolina’s climate, you’ll use this space almost year-round. Spring cookouts, summer parties, fall gatherings – your outdoor kitchen becomes an extension of your home that actually gets used, not just admired.
Union Landscaping and Hardscape S Corp has been creating outdoor living spaces in Oaklawn and surrounding areas for years. We’re not general contractors trying to figure out outdoor kitchens – this is what we do.
We handle everything from initial design through final installation. Gas lines, electrical work, plumbing, stonework – all coordinated by our team so you’re not juggling multiple contractors or wondering who’s responsible when something goes wrong.
Most importantly, we show up when we say we will and finish what we start. Sounds basic, but you’d be surprised how rare that’s become in this industry.
First, we come out to see your space and understand how you want to use it. Not just measurements – we’re talking about your cooking style, how often you entertain, what features matter most to you.
Then we design something that actually fits your space and budget. No cookie-cutter solutions. We’re considering everything from wind patterns to utility locations to make sure your outdoor kitchen works the way you live.
Installation starts with utilities and infrastructure. We handle permits, coordinate inspections, and make sure everything meets local codes. Then comes the fun part – building your cooking area, installing appliances, and adding the finishing touches that make it yours.
Ready to get started?
Every outdoor kitchen we build includes professional design, permit handling, and complete installation. We’re talking about real outdoor kitchens here – built-in grills, weatherproof storage, proper ventilation, adequate prep space.
We use materials that handle North Carolina’s humidity and temperature swings. Your countertops won’t crack in winter, your cabinets won’t warp in summer, and your appliances will be properly protected from the elements.
You’ll also get utility work done right the first time. Gas lines that meet code, electrical that’s properly weatherproofed, plumbing that won’t freeze. The kind of behind-the-scenes work that prevents expensive problems down the road.
