Why Homeowners Choose a Custom Outdoor Kitchen
A well-designed outdoor kitchen does more than add a grill to the backyard. It creates another living area where family and friends can gather.
More Space for Entertaining
An outdoor kitchen keeps food preparation, cooking, and serving close to your guests. As a result, the person cooking can stay connected to the gathering.More Space for Entertaining

Our Outdoor Kitchen Services
Custom Outdoor Kitchen Design
Every project starts with the space. We consider the size of your yard, the location of the home, utilities, traffic flow, and how you plan to use the kitchen.
From there, we develop a layout that balances cooking space, storage, seating, and outdoor entertaining.
Built-In BBQ Islands
A built-in BBQ island is one of the most popular ways to upgrade a backyard.
Your BBQ island can include a grill, side burner, refrigerator, storage drawers, trash storage, counter space, and bar seating. We can also coordinate the finish with nearby pavers, walls, or other backyard features.
Outdoor Bars & Entertainment Areas
Add bar seating to create a casual place for guests to eat, relax, or enjoy drinks while food is prepared.
Depending on the space, we can combine the bar with a refrigerator, beverage cooler, sink, storage, lighting, and nearby lounge seating.
Outdoor Pizza Ovens
A pizza oven can become a focal point of the outdoor kitchen. It also gives homeowners another cooking option beyond a traditional BBQ.
The oven can stand alone or become part of a larger kitchen island.
Outdoor Cabinets & Storage
Good storage keeps the outdoor kitchen organized.
Cabinets and drawers can provide space for cooking tools, serving items, BBQ supplies, trash containers, and other outdoor essentials.
Outdoor Kitchen Countertops
Countertops provide valuable space for food preparation and serving. They also play a major role in the finished look of the kitchen.
Depending on the design, options may include granite, porcelain, natural stone, concrete, and other outdoor-rated surfaces.
Complete Outdoor Living Spaces
The best outdoor kitchens feel connected to the rest of the backyard. A well-planned design makes it easier to cook, dine, entertain, and relax outdoors.
Green Advisor Inc. can coordinate your outdoor kitchen with other backyard improvements, including:
- Backyard remodeling
- Pool design and construction
- Concrete pool construction
- Fiberglass pool installation
- Pavers and masonry
- Landscape design
- Artificial turf installation
- Patio covers and pergolas
- Outdoor lighting
- Fire pits and seating areas
- Retaining walls
- Walkways and patios
Planning these features together can improve the overall backyard layout. It also helps coordinate materials, drainage, utilities, lighting, and walkways.
For example, an outdoor kitchen near the pool can serve both dining and swimming areas. A covered patio or pergola can provide shade during warm afternoons. In addition, thoughtful landscape design can help connect the kitchen with the rest of the yard.
By planning the kitchen as part of a complete outdoor living space, we can create a backyard that looks consistent and works well for everyday use.
Our Outdoor Kitchen Installation Process
A successful outdoor kitchen starts with careful planning. Our process helps create a space that fits your property, cooking style, and outdoor living goals.
1. Consultation and Site Review
First, we discuss how you want to use the space. We review the yard, existing patio, available utilities, cooking needs, and preferred features.
2. Outdoor Kitchen Layout
Next, we plan the kitchen around the available space. The layout may be straight, L-shaped, U-shaped, or designed as a separate BBQ island.
We also consider seating, appliance placement, preparation space, and movement around the kitchen. For larger projects, the layout can connect with a complete backyard remodeling plan.
3. Appliance and Material Selection
Next, you choose the appliances and finishes that fit your project. Options may include grills, refrigerators, burners, sinks, pizza ovens, cabinets, countertops, stone finishes, and lighting.
4. Utility Planning
Outdoor kitchens may require gas, electrical, water, or drainage connections. Therefore, we plan these items before the main construction begins.
Proper planning helps keep utilities organized and allows them to work with the finished kitchen design.
5. Construction
Once the plan is ready, our team begins construction. Work may include site preparation, foundations, framing, masonry and pavers, utility connections, countertops, cabinets, appliances, and finishing details.
6. Final Details
Finally, we review the completed kitchen and surrounding area. We make sure the main features work together and the finished space matches the project plan.
Popular Outdoor Kitchen Layouts
The best outdoor kitchen layout depends on your available space, cooking needs, and entertaining style.
Straight Outdoor Kitchen
A straight kitchen works well along a wall, patio edge, or smaller backyard. It can include a grill, refrigerator, storage, and counter space without taking over the yard.
L-Shaped Outdoor Kitchen
An L-shaped design creates separate areas for cooking and serving. In addition, one side can provide bar seating for guests.
U-Shaped Outdoor Kitchen
A U-shaped kitchen provides more preparation space and storage. It works well for homeowners who cook outdoors often or entertain larger groups.
BBQ Island
A stand-alone BBQ island offers a simple and practical solution. It can become part of an existing patio without requiring a large outdoor kitchen.
Covered Outdoor Kitchen
A patio cover or pergola can provide shade and help define the cooking area. Lighting and ceiling fans can also make the space more comfortable.
Outdoor Kitchen Materials for Southern California Homes
Outdoor kitchen materials need to look good while handling sun, heat, moisture, and regular use. The right materials can also help connect the kitchen with the rest of your backyard.
Stone and Masonry
Stone veneer and masonry can create a strong visual connection between the kitchen and the home. They can also coordinate with fire features, walls, and other pavers and masonry throughout the yard.
Stainless Steel
Stainless steel is a popular choice for grills, drawers, doors, refrigerators, and other outdoor kitchen components. It provides a clean look and works with many design styles.
Porcelain
Porcelain can provide a clean, modern appearance. Certain outdoor-rated porcelain products can also work well for countertops and nearby paving.
Concrete
Concrete offers many design options. It can complement modern, industrial, and natural outdoor spaces.
Pavers
Pavers can create a durable surface around the outdoor kitchen. They can also connect the cooking area with patios, pools, walkways, and seating spaces.
Outdoor Kitchens and Pool Areas
An outdoor kitchen can be a great addition to a pool area. Instead of carrying food and drinks from the house, you can keep cooking and serving areas close to the pool.
Refrigeration, storage, bar seating, and shade can make the space even more useful. In addition, the right layout can keep cooking areas away from the main swimming paths.
For a complete remodel, we can plan your pool design and construction, outdoor kitchen, deck, landscaping, and seating areas together.
Homeowners can also explore our concrete pool construction and fiberglass pool installation services.
Outdoor Kitchens for Small Backyards
You do not need a large backyard to enjoy an outdoor kitchen. A compact BBQ island can provide a grill, counter space, refrigerator, and storage within a smaller area.
A straight kitchen placed along a wall can also save valuable space. For smaller yards, good planning matters even more. We focus on keeping walkways open and avoiding oversized features that make the backyard feel crowded.
A well-planned landscape design can also help make a smaller backyard feel organized and inviting.

Frequently Asked Questions About Outdoor Kitchens
How much does an outdoor kitchen cost in Los Angeles?
Outdoor kitchen costs vary based on size, appliances, materials, utilities, countertops, cabinets, and custom features. A simple BBQ island usually has a different project scope than a full kitchen with plumbing, refrigeration, bar seating, and a patio cover.
What should I include in an outdoor kitchen?
Most outdoor kitchens start with a quality grill and preparation space. From there, you can add storage, a refrigerator, sink, side burner, pizza oven, bar seating, lighting, and other features based on how you cook.
Do I need a sink in my outdoor kitchen?
No. However, a sink can make food preparation and cleanup easier. Adding one may require water and drainage connections.
Can you add an outdoor kitchen to an existing patio?
Yes, in many cases. First, we review the existing space to determine whether the layout, surface, utilities, and available room can support the new kitchen.
What is the best countertop for an outdoor kitchen?
The best material depends on the design, exposure, care needs, and budget. Granite, porcelain, natural stone, and concrete are common choices for outdoor spaces.
Can you build an outdoor kitchen next to a pool?
Yes. Outdoor kitchens work very well near pools. Good planning keeps the cooking area away from the main swimming paths while keeping food, drinks, and seating easy to reach.
Can an outdoor kitchen include a pizza oven?
Yes. A pizza oven can become part of a complete outdoor kitchen or a separate cooking station.
Do outdoor kitchens need electricity?
Many do. Refrigerators, lighting, outlets, rotisserie systems, and other appliances may require electrical connections. The exact needs depend on the equipment you select.
Do I need a patio cover over my outdoor kitchen?
Not always. However, a patio cover or pergola can provide shade and create a more defined outdoor room.
