A popular choice in Louisville, poolside kitchens let you grill, chill, and serve food right by the water—no more tracking wet footprints indoors! With nearby refrigeration and covered storage, your entire outdoor experience becomes effortless and luxurious. It’s the ultimate setup for pool parties and relaxing weekends.



L-Shaped & U-Shaped Backyard Kitchens

These commonly used spacious kitchen layouts are not just for indoor kitchens. It is also ideal for multitaskers and entertainment in your backyard. With defined zones for cooking, meal prep, and serving, they make it easy to host events without the chaos. Your guests can gather around the bar or lounge nearby while you stay at the heart of the action.

Upgrade for a Stunning Outdoor Kitchen

Every outdoor kitchen we build is fully customizable. From hosting cookouts to relaxing with family, you can build a setup that matches your lifestyle and your backyard layout. You can mix and match the following based on how you live:

Built-in Gas or Charcoal Grill

The heart of any outdoor kitchen, we can install premium grills that seamlessly fit into your countertop space for a professional, clean finish. If you prefer the control of gas or the flavor of charcoal, we can also help you choose the perfect grill model for your needs.

Outdoor Pizza Oven

Try not just a taco party but artisan pizza nights at home with a built-in pizza oven. These ovens can deliver wood-fired flavor and high-heat cooking for your pizza, flatbreads, roasted vegetables, and more. So if this is something you love, then you need an outdoor pizza oven built into your outdoor kitchen.

Mini Fridge or Wine Fridge 

Keep drinks, ingredients, and snacks cool and close by as you relax outside. You can add a classic mini fridge or elevate your current outdoor kitchen setup with a dedicated wine fridge to store your favorite vintages at ideal temperatures. 

Kegerator or Beverage Center

Perfect for parties and gatherings, a built-in kegerator or beverage station lets you serve cold draft beer, soda, or cocktails on demand. Do not mistake it to be a mini fridge, as each serves different purposes.

Outdoor Sink with Running Water

Clean as you go with a fully plumbed outdoor kitchen sink with running water. This is a must-have addition for rinsing hands, washing fresh produce, or managing post-grill cleanup without heading indoors.

Stainless Steel Cabinetry and Drawers

Durable and weatherproof, opt to have stainless steel cabinets for your outdoor kitchen. This can provide secure storage for utensils, grill tools, and cookware year-round. Plus, they're easy to clean and built to last.

Weatherproof Outdoor Countertops

Choose from a range of stylish, heat-resistant surfaces such as granite, quartz, and concrete. Your outdoor kitchen countertop should handle food prep, serving, and exposure to harsh elements. And we can build outdoor surfaces for durability and reliability that you’ll love.

Bar Seating or Dining Area

Create a true entertainment hub with built-in seating, bar counters, or a dedicated outdoor dining table. Let your family, loved ones, and guests gather, chat, and enjoy the space with you.
