Where Cooking, Hosting, and Outdoor Living Come Together

You know that moment when everyone ends up in the kitchen during a gathering? It happens among friends. It happens when family shows up.

Now, imagine that outdoor kitchen contractors build this room outside.

A nice breeze, music, and the sizzling of food on the grill. That’s what a well-built outdoor kitchen brings to a home. 

It changes the way you use your backyard. Not “once in a while.” More like… anytime the weather cooperates (and in the Carolinas, it usually does).

Our outdoor kitchen builders construct kitchens that feel permanent, intentional, and natural.

Experienced Outdoor Kitchen Builders

There’s no single “right” outdoor kitchen.

Some people cook everything outside. Others just want room to prep, serve, and stay part of the conversation. A few want the full setup.

As outdoor kitchen contractors, we don’t start with appliances. We start with questions.

  • How do you cook?
  • Who’s usually with you?
  • Where does everyone end up standing once the food’s ready?

Design comes next. Layout, spacing, and flow. Making sure doors open where they should. Making sure heat, smoke, and traffic don’t clash.

The goal is simple: When the kitchen’s done, it should feel like it always belonged there.

Luxury Outdoor Kitchen Contractors With a Hardscaping Focus

Our outdoor kitchen builders approach outdoor kitchens the same way we approach every project, as a custom luxury hardscaping company, not a specialty installer.

Outdoor kitchens are structural builds. They involve foundations, utilities, material coordination, and long-term exposure to the elements. That’s why our team treats each project as part of a larger outdoor living system, not a standalone feature.

As experienced outdoor kitchen contractors, we design and construct kitchens that integrate cleanly with decks, patios, pergolas, and pavilions. Layouts are planned for durability, safety, and daily use. Materials are selected for performance in North Carolina’s and South Carolina’s climate. Outdoor kitchen installation follows the same standards we apply to our larger hardscaping projects.

The result is an outdoor kitchen that feels permanent, cohesive, and built with intention.

Not temporary. Not decorative. Built to last.

Outdoor Kitchens That Fit Into Larger Outdoor Projects

Most outdoor kitchens are not built by themselves.

And they shouldn’t be treated that way.

Charlotte Deck Builders is a custom hardscaping company. We design and build complete outdoor environments, which means outdoor kitchens are usually planned alongside deckspatiospergolas, or pavilions. When everything is designed together, the finished space makes sense.

This is where experience matters.

As outdoor kitchen contractors, we plan layouts before construction starts. We look at elevation changes. We think through foot traffic. We account for utilities, clearances, and how the space will actually be used once people are standing in it, not just looking at it on paper.

Material and Construction Standards That Hold Up

Outdoor kitchens take a beating.

That’s why material selection matters as much as design.

Charlotte Deck Builders builds outdoor kitchens using materials chosen specifically for outdoor use in North and South Carolina. Countertops, cabinetry, and finishes are selected for durability first, appearance second, and maintenance last. Nothing goes in unless it can handle real use.

Construction is treated the same way.

As experienced outdoor kitchen contractors, we plan for proper clearance, ventilation, and utility access before your outdoor kitchen installation begins. Appliances are installed correctly. Surfaces are leveled and secured. Everything is built to feel solid, not temporary.

This approach reduces maintenance issues later and helps the kitchen continue performing the way it should, season after season. No shortcuts. No decorative-only decisions. Just well-built outdoor kitchens designed to last.
