Built-in grills, fire features and lighting designed as one space
Outdoor kitchens, fire pits, pergolas and landscape lighting designed together with the patio around them — so the grill isn't stranded in a corner and the whole space works after dark.
What's included
- Built-in grill stations with stone counters and storage
- Fire pits and gas fire tables
- Pergolas and shade structures
- Low-voltage landscape and patio lighting
- Outdoor bars, refrigeration and pizza ovens

Common questions
Natural gas or propane?
Both work. If a gas line is reachable we usually recommend running it — no tanks to swap, and it's cheaper over the life of the kitchen.
Can you add lighting to an existing patio?
Yes. Low-voltage lighting can be added to a finished space with minimal disruption.
