Outdoor Kitchen Elements We Design & Build

We design and install a wide range of outdoor kitchen layouts, including:

Built-In Grill Islands | Gas, charcoal, pellet, or hybrid grill configurations.
Countertops | Granite, porcelain, natural stone, or concrete waterfall surfaces.
Refrigeration & Storage | Drawers, cabinets, under-counter coolers, and food prep space
Outdoor Bars & Seating Areas | Ideal for casual dining and entertaining guests
Overhead Cover | Pergolas, covered porches, or open-air configurations.
Integrated Lighting & Electrical | Task lighting, accent lighting, outlets, and appliance power access

Your kitchen can be designed as a standalone feature—or as part of a larger patio, fire feature, or covered entertaining area.

Outdoor Kitchen Layout Options

We offer thoughtful layout options tailored to the way you cook and entertain:

Straight-run kitchens | Perfect for small patios and economical layouts
L-shaped kitchens | Create two usable surfaces for prep & serving
U-shaped outdoor kitchens | Ideal for hosting and grouping guests around you
Island-style workspaces | A focal gathering point for grilling and serving

Every layout is planned for clear workflow, appliance placement, and traffic flow.

What Makes Our Outdoor Kitchens Different?

Most outdoor kitchens are built as afterthoughts—ours are designed as functional, architectural extensions of your living space.

We focus on:

Material durability | Weather-resistant surfaces, sealed stone, secure framing systems.
Professional ventilation | Essential when installing under a roofline or pergola.
Smart appliance placement | Convenient access to prep, cook, serve, and clean zones.
Proper drainage and grading | Extends lifespan and kitchen usability year-round.
Seamless integration into your existing patio or retaining walls | No bolted on kitchens.

From the very first sketch, the space is designed with scale, proportion, and usability in mind.

Hired Trew for a backyard patio, fire pit, and retaining wall to level out some areas of our yard that were overgrown with vines and unusable. His crew did fantastic work and Trew is super responsive, easy to work with, and fair on pricing. Would highly recommend!!

Dave Robertson

Trew did a great job on our retaining wall and patio. We needed 500sf of paver patio, 65lf of retaining wall and a few plants installed. Trews crew showed up every day, and took pride in their work.Best part was, we got 4 different quotes and Trew provided the most competitive price. Timely work, great quality and great pricing equals a very happy customer! Thanks!

Jennifer McNeely

Highly recommend Trew for your landscape and drainage management needs. We’ve had soil erosion issues for years. Trew made recommendations and we couldn’t be happier with the final results. We have a beautiful new flower bed, a solid new retaining wall and a fence. Trew worked efficiently and communicated well with us.
