Our Outdoor Kitchen Installation Process

Site Prep & Foundation

We start by clearing and leveling the build area, ensuring a stable foundation with proper drainage. Concrete footings or paver bases are installed depending on your design, creating a solid surface for your kitchen layout.

Layout & Utility Installation

Your custom outdoor kitchen is measured and marked for appliances, counters, and fixtures. We coordinate all gas, electrical, and water hookups, following Arizona code requirements for safety and performance.

Build & Finishes

From block construction to cabinet installation, we build each component with durable, weather-resistant materials made for Arizona’s heat. Countertops, grills, storage, and appliances are installed with precision, and we finish with lighting, backsplash, and any custom features you selected.

Final Walkthrough

Once complete, we walk through every detail with you—from grill function to care recommendations—so you know exactly how to enjoy and maintain your new space. The result? A seamless, built-to-last backyard kitchen ready for years of outdoor entertaining.

Outdoor Kitchen Installations That Solve Your Backyard Problems

Cooking inside can heat up your whole house—and hosting outdoors often means juggling portable grills, folding tables, and poor lighting. A custom outdoor kitchen solves all of that. Built-in appliances, prep space, and shade features give you a seamless way to cook, serve, and relax outside.

We design outdoor kitchens to handle Arizona’s extreme heat with weather-resistant materials, smart layouts, and cooling shade structures. No more dragging equipment in and out. No more crowding around a single grill. See how we integrate outdoor fireplaces into Arizona outdoor living spaces.

Whether you’re feeding the family on a weeknight or entertaining guests on the weekend, your outdoor kitchen is built to make life outside easier, cooler, and more enjoyable—all year long.

Austin and his crew did a phenomenal job on our backyard. From day one he went over our design carefully, gave us a honest estimate, added excellent ideas and proceeded to start on the day he said he would. The crew was polite, knowledgeable, cleaned up their work space everyday and were masters at their
trade. Geo was the project lead, he was so attentive to detail. He laid out the pavers to perfection. Our Pergola swing turned out beautiful. Everything about our yard turned out spectacular. We are definitely going to use Austin and his talented crew for future projects this summer. Thank you Platinum Outdoors for a job well done!

Austin and his team at Platinum Outdoors were nothing short of perfection!
We moved into our new home over a month ago and had paint, flooring, bathroom reno, framing, you name it done to our home. Every single project we started quickly ran into serious issues and we were always provided crews that were messy and not qualified to be doing the work.
However Austin’s team lead by Leo were professional, organized, timely, respectful and most importantly true craftsman’s at their trade. For everything that has gone wrong for us during this move, Platinum Outdoors is the true bright spot and they earned a customer for life.

FAQs

How much does it cost to install an outdoor kitchen?

The cost of outdoor kitchen installation in Arizona can range from $10,000 to $25,000 or more, depending on the size, materials, and features you choose. A simple grill island will cost less than a full setup with appliances, counters, lighting, and plumbing. We offer free estimates to help you plan your project with no surprises.

How much should I spend on an outdoor kitchen?

Most homeowners invest 10–15% of their home’s value on an outdoor kitchen if they want a high-end, built-in setup. That said, we work with a range of budgets to deliver a layout that fits your lifestyle and your space—whether that’s a compact BBQ station or a full covered kitchen.

Do I need a permit to install an outdoor kitchen?

Yes, most outdoor kitchen installations in East Phoenix require permits—especially if your project includes gas, electric, or water connections. We handle the permitting process for you, ensuring everything is up to code and approved by the city before we begin.

 

Does an outdoor kitchen add value to a house?

Absolutely. A professionally installed outdoor kitchen can increase your home’s resale value and appeal—especially in Arizona, where outdoor living is a major part of daily life. It’s a smart investment that adds both function and curb appeal.

What are the disadvantages of an outdoor kitchen?

The biggest challenges are related to exposure. Outdoor kitchens must be built with weather-resistant materials to handle heat, dust, and monsoon season. Without the right design and construction, components may wear out faster. That’s why we use durable finishes and proven layouts built for long-term outdoor use in Arizona’s climate.
