Questions About Outdoor Kitchens?

Building an outdoor kitchen is an exciting investment, but you may have questions about the process, materials, and what to expect. At Harvest Outdoor Living, we’re here to guide you every step of the way. Below, we’ve answered some of the most common questions homeowners have about outdoor kitchen construction, from permits and utilities to durability and design options. If you have additional questions, feel free to contact us—we’re happy to help!

In many cases, yes. The need for a permit depends on your location and the scope of the project. If your outdoor kitchen includes gas lines, electrical work, plumbing, or a built-in structure, a permit is typically required. At Harvest Outdoor Living, we handle the permitting process to ensure everything is built to code.

Absolutely! If your current patio has enough space and a strong foundation, we can build your outdoor kitchen right on top of it. If needed, we can expand or reinforce the patio to support appliances, countertops, and seating areas.

Yes! We coordinate with licensed professionals to install electrical, plumbing, and gas lines safely and efficiently. Whether you need power for a refrigerator, a gas line for a built-in grill, or water for a sink, we ensure all utilities are properly connected and up to code.

Lighting is an essential part of an outdoor kitchen for both function and ambiance. We offer a range of lighting options, including recessed lights, under-counter LED strips, task lighting for cooking areas, and accent lighting to create a warm and inviting space.

The timeline depends on the complexity of the design, but most outdoor kitchens take between 2 to 6 weeks to complete. Factors such as custom stonework, plumbing, gas lines, and electrical work can affect the timeline. During your consultation, we’ll provide an estimated timeline based on your specific project.

We use high-quality, weather-resistant materials designed to withstand heat, rain, snow, and freezing temperatures. Stainless steel appliances, stone or concrete countertops, and sealed cabinets help protect your kitchen from the elements. Proper drainage and covering options like pergolas or built-in covers can also extend its lifespan.

We use durable, weather-resistant materials such as natural stone, concrete, brick, stainless steel, and high-performance composite materials. These materials ensure longevity and low maintenance while complementing your outdoor space.

Yes! Every outdoor kitchen we build is fully customizable. From layout and appliances to countertops and finishes, we design each project to fit your space, style, and cooking preferences. Whether you want a modern, rustic, or classic look, we’ll bring your vision to life.

We can incorporate a variety of appliances, including:

  • Built-in gas or charcoal grills
  • Side burners
  • Refrigerators and beverage coolers
  • Ice makers

We had a very extensive job done to repair our failing patio that was over 30 years old. Tom was great to work with and the final work turned out beautiful. As a small business owner, I know how hard it is to make sure everything goes right on a big project like this and their team did an amazing job from start to finish. Could not recommend more

I felt the crew did a particularly nice job with sanding between the rock joints and reseeding and new top soil of my back yard. Tom is easy to work with and is very conscientious, which was particularly important to me.
