Culinary excellence
under the
Arizona sky
Custom-built outdoor kitchens designed around how you actually cook and entertain — stone countertops, professional-grade appliances, and gas lines installed to code. Built to last decades in the desert heat.
An outdoor kitchen is the most-used room
in an Arizona home — if it's built right
Arizona's mild winters and long shoulder seasons mean most East Valley homeowners can cook and eat outside nine months of the year. A well-designed outdoor kitchen doesn't just add convenience — it changes how you live in your home.
Most outdoor kitchens fail as living spaces because they're designed as afterthoughts — a grill dropped into a concrete block with no thought for workflow, seating, storage, or how people actually move around while cooking. We design around the way you entertain.
That means thinking about the triangle between the grill, prep surface, and serving area. It means designing counter height, storage placement, and appliance positions before a single block is laid. It means specifying materials — stone, concrete, tile — that look exactly the same in year ten as they do on installation day.
In Arizona's climate, it also means specifying hardware, sealants, and joint materials that won't crack, fade, or corrode in triple-digit summer heat. What works in a showroom in Chicago doesn't always survive an Arizona summer. We've been building outdoor kitchens in this climate for 35 years — we know what lasts.
Three elements that define
a great outdoor kitchen
Every outdoor kitchen we build is a custom project — but they all share the same core components. Here's what we focus on in every design.
- Concrete block structural base
- Natural stone, stucco, or tile finish
- Sealed stone or concrete countertops
- UV and heat-resistant materials throughout
- Custom sizing to fit your space exactly
- Outdoor-rated stainless steel grills
- Side burners and power burner options
- Outdoor-rated refrigerators and ice makers
- Stainless drawer and door storage systems
- Sink with hot and cold water options
- Natural gas line installation to city code
- Permit coordination in Tempe & Scottsdale
- Outdoor electrical for lighting & refrigeration
- Plumbing rough-in for sink connection
- Final inspection coordinated with city
From design to first cookout —
what the process looks like
Every outdoor kitchen is a custom project that involves masonry, gas work, and sometimes electrical and plumbing. Here's how we manage it from start to finish.
