Frequently asked questions
Schedule a consultationCan I use my outdoor kitchen in more than one season?
Absolutely. We plan for year-round use: durable materials, protection (shade or covers), drainage, and lighting where needed so you can entertain well into fall and early spring.
How long does it take to build an outdoor kitchen?
Smaller grill stations might take a few days; mid-sized installations a couple of weeks; elaborate, full-feature kitchens with custom stonework or appliances may take several weeks.
Do I need permits or utility work?
Often yes — plumbing, gas, electrical, certain structures may require permits. We handle planning, ensuring everything meets local codes.
What materials are best for Knoxville’s climate?
Stone or sealed concrete countertops, stainless steel fixtures, sealed woods, porcelain tile, and durable pavers are excellent. They resist moisture, sun, freeze-thaw, and humidity.
What appliances should I include in my outdoor kitchen?
It depends on how you cook and entertain. Common choices in Knoxville include built-in grills, pizza ovens, smokers, outdoor-rated refrigerators, sinks for prep/cleanup, and weatherproof cabinetry.
