Outdoor Kitchen Construction

An outdoor kitchen is the difference between running in and out of the house all evening and actually staying with your guests. Built in block and stone, it also survives a Spokane winter without being wheeled into the garage.

We design and build grill islands, full kitchens, bars and pizza-oven surrounds. Call (509) 276-6894 to talk it through.

Stone outdoor kitchen island with built-in grill and lighting built by Elite Hardscapes in Spokane, WA

Layout comes before appliances

The mistake we see most is a beautiful island with nowhere to put a plate down. We plan landing space either side of the grill, a prep run, somewhere for a bin and enough counter for people to lean on with a drink, then fit the appliances into that.

We also point the working side of the island so the cook is facing the party rather than the fence.

What can be built in

Depending on budget and how you cook:

  • Built-in gas or charcoal grill and side burner
  • Granite, quartzite or concrete countertops
  • Sink with hot and cold supply and a drain line
  • Outdoor-rated fridge, ice bin and storage drawers
  • Pizza oven, smoker or Big Green Egg cut-out
  • Bar overhang with stool clearance and task lighting

Gas, power and water done right

Utilities are the part that has to be planned before the first block is laid. Gas runs are sized and pressure-tested, circuits are on GFCI in weatherproof enclosures, and any water line is run below frost and fitted with a shut-off and drain so it can be blown out before the first hard freeze.

Licensed trades handle the connections and everything is inspected where permits require it.
