Outdoor Living Spaces

Outdoor kitchens, pergolas, and fire features that turn a backyard into the room you use most — ten months a year here.

In Pinellas County you get ten usable months of backyard a year. Outdoor living is about claiming them: a kitchen where you actually cook, shade where you actually sit, fire for the two months it dips below 60.

One project, one crew

An outdoor kitchen touches hardscape, gas, electrical, stone, and drainage. We design the whole space as one project and run it as one schedule — so the paver crew, the mason, and the electrician aren’t three contractors pointing at each other.

Designed around how you host

Before we draw anything we ask how you entertain: six people or twenty-six, cooking dinner or watching the game, morning coffee or late nights. The layout — sight lines to the pool, prep space, seat walls, lighting scenes — comes from those answers.

Built to Florida code, not catalog specs

Wind load, flame clearances, GFCI circuits, gas sizing: the unglamorous details are the difference between a space that lasts and a liability. We permit what needs permitting and put it in writing.

Questions

Outdoor Living FAQs

Do outdoor kitchens need permits in Pinellas County?

Usually yes — gas lines, electrical runs, and fixed structures typically require permits depending on your city. We handle permitting as part of the project and coordinate licensed trades where required.

What's a realistic budget for an outdoor kitchen?

A grill island with counter space typically starts in the low five figures; full kitchens with refrigeration, gas, and stone finishes run higher. We design to your number and phase the build if you'd rather grow into it.

Will a pergola survive hurricane season?

We build and anchor shade structures to Florida wind-load requirements — engineered footings and hardware, not just posts in dirt. It's a big part of why we don't sell big-box kits.
