The layout changes everything.

An outdoor kitchen is not a grill with a countertop next to it. A real outdoor kitchen is a designed space -- with a layout that makes sense for how you cook, how you entertain, and how your backyard actually works.

A well-designed outdoor kitchen considers prep-to-grill workflow, guest traffic patterns, refrigerator and storage placement, and connection to the dining area. For West Michigan, design also accounts for prevailing winds off Lake Michigan, shade from mature trees, and seasonal sun positioning.

We design every kitchen from scratch. No two are the same because no two properties are the same.

Kitchen Design Process

01
On-Site Consultation
We walk your backyard, take measurements, note grade and drainage, and discuss your goals -- cooking style, appliance wish list, and budget.
02
Custom Design
We create a custom layout with island configuration, appliance placement, countertop dimensions, storage, utility connections, and materials.
03
Build & Install
Island construction, countertop fabrication, appliance installation, gas line coordination, and finish details. Most builds take 2-4 weeks.

Kitchen Layout Options

Straight-Line Island
Grill centered with storage on both sides. Works well for smaller patios and decks.
L-Shaped Kitchen
Wraps two sides and creates a natural work triangle between grill, prep area, and sink.
U-Shaped Kitchen
Encloses the cook in an efficient workspace with everything within arm's reach.
Island with Bar
Raised countertop on the guest side so friends and family can sit and watch while you cook.
Full Custom Build
Multiple cooking stations, dedicated prep zones, refrigeration, and integrated seating.
Grill Island Add-On
A standalone grill island added to an existing patio or deck. The most common starting point.

Outdoor Kitchen FAQ

Design takes 1-3 weeks. Appliance lead times add 2-6 weeks. Construction takes 2-4 weeks. Plan for 6-12 weeks total from first meeting to cooking your first meal.

Most built-in grills run on natural gas, which requires a dedicated line. We coordinate gas line installation as part of the project. Propane is an alternative.

It depends on structural capacity. Kitchen islands are heavy. We assess your deck's framing during the design consultation and recommend reinforcement or a ground-level alternative.

Basic grill islands start around $12,000-$20,000. Mid-range L-shaped kitchens run $25,000-$45,000. Full custom builds can exceed $60,000-$100,000.

Granite is the most popular -- handles freeze-thaw, UV, and grill heat. Concrete and porcelain slab also perform well. We do not recommend marble or laminate for exterior use.
