Outdoor Kitchens Built for Year-Round Use

Fully built outdoor kitchens in Washington County designed for entertaining and integrated with patios and hardscape.

Your patio in Washington County might be large enough to host a grill, sink, and counter space, or your commercial property might need a functional outdoor kitchen for events or shared use. Outdoor kitchens are designed around how you plan to cook, serve, and gather, with layouts that fit the available space and connect to existing hardscape. Kartchco Construction builds custom kitchens that operate in Southern Utah's climate year-round without deteriorating from sun, wind, or temperature shifts.

This service involves planning the kitchen layout, installing utilities such as gas, water, and electrical lines, building countertops and storage, and integrating appliances. In Washington County, materials are selected for heat resistance and durability, and installations are coordinated with patios, pavers, and concrete flatwork. Outdoor kitchens are built for residential backyards and commercial properties where food preparation happens outside.

Kartchco Construction offers project consultations to review your space and discuss layout options that match your needs.

What goes into a fully built outdoor kitchen

The process begins with measuring the patio or hardscape area, mapping utility access, and planning the kitchen footprint based on appliances and counter space requirements. In Washington County, this often involves running gas lines from the house, installing outdoor-rated electrical outlets, and ensuring water lines are protected from freezing if the kitchen will be used in winter. Countertops are built with stone, tile, or concrete, and base cabinets or storage are framed with weather-resistant materials.

After the kitchen is completed, you will see a functional cooking area with a grill, sink, and prep surface that are level and properly connected to utilities. Storage drawers and cabinets will open smoothly and resist moisture, and the countertop will sit flush with the surrounding patio or hardscape. Lighting and electrical outlets will be positioned for safe use without extension cords or temporary wiring.

This service does not include patio construction or landscaping, though Kartchco Construction coordinates timing with those installations to ensure the kitchen integrates without visible seams or elevation changes. Appliances are selected by the property owner, and the kitchen is built to accommodate the dimensions and utility requirements of those units. Layouts are customized based on available space, usage patterns, and whether the kitchen will serve residential or commercial functions.

Planning questions that come up early

Most property owners want to know about utility placement, appliance options, and how the kitchen will hold up through seasonal use, especially in a climate that swings between high heat and occasional freezing nights.

What utilities are needed for an outdoor kitchen?
Most kitchens require gas for the grill, water for the sink, and electrical outlets for lighting or small appliances. Kartchco Construction runs these lines during the build and ensures they meet local code requirements.
What materials work best for outdoor kitchen countertops?
Granite, tile, and poured concrete are commonly used because they resist heat, moisture, and UV damage. Kartchco Construction selects materials based on your budget and how the kitchen will be used.
Can an outdoor kitchen be built on an existing patio?
Yes, the kitchen can be installed on existing concrete or pavers as long as the surface is level and stable. Kartchco Construction evaluates the patio during the consultation to confirm it will support the kitchen structure.
How is the kitchen protected from weather?
Cabinets and countertops are built with weather-resistant materials, and appliances are rated for outdoor use. Covers or pergolas can be added for additional protection, though the kitchen is designed to function without them.
When should an outdoor kitchen be installed in a larger project?
The kitchen should be built after hardscape is completed so utility lines and base structures are placed on stable, finished surfaces. Kartchco Construction schedules outdoor kitchen work late in the project sequence to avoid rework.
