Custom outdoor kitchen design and installation that turns ordinary backyards into year-round entertaining spaces your family actually uses.
You’ve been thinking about it for months. Maybe years. That empty corner of your backyard where you picture summer cookouts, weekend coffee, and holiday gatherings that don’t crowd everyone into your kitchen.
Most outdoor kitchens either look like afterthoughts or cost more than your car. You need something that actually works with how you live. Something built to handle North Carolina weather without falling apart in two seasons.
Your outdoor kitchen should make entertaining easier, not harder. When it’s designed right and built with the right materials, you’ll find yourself using it more than you expected. Your family will gravitate toward it. Your friends will ask who built it.
Union Landscaping and Hardscape S Corp has been creating outdoor living spaces in the Grier Heights area for years. We’re not just outdoor kitchen contractors – we’re the hardscape and landscaping company that understands how outdoor kitchens fit into your bigger outdoor living picture.
We’ve seen what works and what doesn’t in Carolina weather. We know which materials hold up and which ones you’ll regret in three years. More importantly, we know how to design outdoor kitchens that actually get used instead of becoming expensive lawn ornaments.
When you work with us, you’re working with people who live here, understand local building requirements, and have built enough outdoor kitchens to know what questions to ask before we start.
First, we come look at your space and talk about how you actually want to use it. Not what looks good in magazines, but what makes sense for your family, your budget, and your backyard. We’ll discuss utilities, permits, and timeline upfront so there are no surprises.
Next, we handle the design and permitting process. We know what Grier Heights requires and we’ll make sure everything’s done right the first time. You’ll see exactly what you’re getting before we break ground.
Then we build it. We coordinate all the trades – electrical, plumbing, gas – so you don’t have to manage multiple contractors. We handle the hardscape integration, make sure drainage works properly, and install everything to last. You’ll know what’s happening when, and we’ll keep your yard as clean as possible throughout the process.
Ready to get started?
Your outdoor kitchen project includes everything from initial design consultation through final installation. We handle utility connections, permitting, hardscape integration, and all the coordination between different trades. You get one point of contact for the entire project.
We focus on materials that make sense for North Carolina weather – things that won’t crack in winter, fade in summer, or require constant maintenance. Granite countertops, stainless steel appliances rated for outdoor use, and proper drainage systems that prevent water problems down the road.
Every project includes proper lighting design, adequate storage solutions, and integration with your existing landscape. We’re not just installing appliances in your backyard – we’re creating a functional outdoor living space that connects with the rest of your property. Most of our outdoor kitchen projects also include complementary hardscape elements like patios, walkways, or fire features that complete the space.
