We build custom outdoor cooking spaces that add function, value, and lasting enjoyment to your backyard.
Outdoor Kitchen Design and Construction
At 616 Custom Construction, we design and build outdoor kitchens that make your backyard more useful, more comfortable, and more enjoyable. A well-built outdoor cooking space gives you room to cook, serve, and gather without running in and out of the house. We create custom layouts that fit your yard, your home, and the way you like to entertain.
Our outdoor kitchen design and construction service starts with planning. We look at your patio, grading, traffic flow, utilities, and overall landscape design so the kitchen feels like a natural part of the space. We help you choose the right layout for grilling, prep, storage, seating, and cleanup. Popular features include built-in grills, side burners, pizza ovens, sinks, refrigerators, trash pullouts, bars, serving counters, and weather-resistant cabinets.
We build with durable materials made for outdoor use. Depending on the style and budget, that may include natural stone, block, brick veneer, concrete countertops, pavers, stainless steel components, and low-maintenance finishes. Every project is built with long-term performance in mind, including proper base preparation, drainage, ventilation, and utility coordination. That matters because an outdoor kitchen needs to stand up to heat, moisture, and seasonal weather changes.
We also focus on comfort and function. That can include task lighting, pergolas, privacy features, fire features, and nearby patio or seating areas to create a complete backyard living space. If you want your kitchen to work with an existing hardscape or a new landscape construction project, we can design the full area so everything matches and flows together.
Homeowners choose custom outdoor kitchens because they add convenience, improve outdoor entertaining, and increase the value of the property. More important, they help you use your yard more often. Whether you want a simple grilling station or a fully equipped outdoor cooking and dining area, we build spaces that are practical, attractive, and built to last.

Our Process
We keep outdoor kitchen projects simple, organized, and built around how you want to cook, host, and enjoy your backyard.
Consultation, Site Review, and Concept Plan
We start with an on-site consultation to learn how you plan to use your outdoor kitchen, then review grading, access, drainage, utilities, and patio layout. From there, we build a clear concept, material recommendations, budget range, and realistic timeline so you know exactly what to expect before construction begins.
Design, Selections, and Build Preparation
Once the concept is approved, we finalize the outdoor kitchen design, appliance layout, hardscape materials, stone veneer, countertops, and lighting details. We handle field measurements, procurement planning, and construction scheduling so the installation runs smoothly and fits your space with lasting function and curb appeal.
Construction, Finishing, and Walkthrough
Our crew completes the outdoor kitchen construction with careful attention to base prep, masonry work, utility coordination, appliance fit, and finish details that hold up outdoors. We finish with a full walkthrough, answer your questions, and make sure everything looks right, works properly, and is ready for cooking and entertaining.
Outdoor Kitchen Design & Construction FAQs
Answers to the questions homeowners ask most about planning, pricing, timelines, and what to expect from 616 Custom Construction.
- How much does an outdoor kitchen cost?
Outdoor kitchen cost depends on size, layout, appliances, utilities, countertop choices, and finish materials. A simple built-in grill area costs less than a full custom kitchen with seating, refrigeration, and lighting. We provide clear estimates so you know exactly what is included before construction begins.
- How long does it take to build an outdoor kitchen?
Most outdoor kitchen projects take anywhere from a few days to several weeks, depending on design complexity, site conditions, utility work, and material availability. We give you a realistic schedule up front and keep you updated so the process stays organized and on track.
- Can you design an outdoor kitchen to match my patio and home?
Yes. We design outdoor kitchens to fit your space, style, and how you plan to use it. We can match stone, pavers, colors, and overall layout to your patio, backyard, and home exterior so the finished space looks natural and well planned.
- What features can you include in a custom outdoor kitchen?
We can build around grills, side burners, refrigerators, sinks, storage, bar seating, countertops, pizza ovens, lighting, and more. During the design process, we help you choose features that fit your cooking needs, entertaining goals, and budget without overbuilding the space.
- Do I need permits or utility work for an outdoor kitchen?
Some outdoor kitchens need permits, gas lines, plumbing, or electrical work, while others do not. It depends on the appliances, local code requirements, and the project scope. We walk you through those details early so there are no surprises once the job starts.

Absolutely loved working with 616 Custom Construction! They are so easy to work with, straight forward and the work was better than I expected! All the guys working were incredibly respectful of myself and my family including minimal noise and proximity to our daily activities (i.e. leaving the house, parking) I'm looking forward to the next time I hire them to help me improve my home's features!
Had a deck installed recently, finished product was much more than we were expecting. Great quality work by great respectful people.
