Custom outdoor kitchens designed for North Carolina weather and your family’s entertaining style.
You’re tired of running back and forth between your indoor kitchen and the grill. Your guests end up standing around while you disappear inside for utensils, sides, or drinks.
A properly designed outdoor kitchen changes everything. You’ll have everything within arm’s reach – prep space, storage, refrigeration, and cooking surfaces all in one functional area. No more missing conversations because you’re stuck inside. No more juggling plates and trying to keep food warm.
When your outdoor kitchen is built right, entertaining becomes effortless. Your guests stay engaged, your food stays hot, and you actually get to enjoy the party you’re hosting. Plus, you’ll use your outdoor space year-round instead of just during perfect weather days.
Union Landscaping and Hardscape S Corp has been creating functional outdoor living spaces throughout North Carolina for years. We understand how our humid summers and unpredictable weather affect outdoor kitchen materials and design.
Most contractors treat outdoor kitchens like indoor kitchens that happen to be outside. That’s backwards. We design for the elements first, then add the functionality you need for seamless outdoor cooking and entertaining.
Our team handles everything from initial design through final installation, including utilities, permits, and integration with your existing landscape. You work with one company, not a parade of subcontractors who don’t communicate with each other.
We start with a site visit to understand your space, cooking habits, and entertaining style. No cookie-cutter designs – we’re looking at how you actually use your outdoor area and what would make the biggest difference for your family.
Next, we create a detailed design that maximizes your space and workflow. We’ll show you exactly what materials we recommend and why, plus handle all permit applications and utility planning. You’ll know the timeline, costs, and what to expect before we break ground.
Installation happens in phases – site preparation, utilities, hardscape foundation, then your appliances and finishing touches. We coordinate everything so you’re not waiting weeks between steps. Most outdoor kitchens are ready for cooking within 2-3 weeks of starting construction, depending on complexity and weather.
Ready to get started?
Your outdoor kitchen includes custom design based on your specific space and needs, not a generic layout. We handle all utility connections – gas, electric, and plumbing – with proper permits and code compliance. You won’t deal with surprise issues later because corners were cut during installation.
We use materials specifically chosen for North Carolina’s climate. That means surfaces that won’t crack in temperature swings, finishes that resist humidity and UV damage, and storage solutions that keep moisture out. Your investment should look great and function properly for decades.
Every project includes integration with your existing hardscape and landscape features. Your outdoor kitchen will look like it belongs in your space, not like an afterthought dropped into your backyard. We coordinate colors, materials, and design elements so everything flows together naturally.
