Outdoor Kitchens Built for How You Actually Live
The Bay Area’s mild climate gives you something most of the country can only dream of – the ability to cook and entertain outdoors nearly year-round. A custom outdoor kitchen transforms your backyard from unused green space into the most popular room in your home.
At Stones Landscaping Inc., we design and build custom outdoor kitchens from the ground up. Every kitchen we construct is tailored to your property, your cooking habits, and how you actually entertain – not pulled from a catalog.
Layout, Workflow & Integration
Here’s what separates a great outdoor kitchen from a mediocre one: it’s not the appliances – it’s the layout, the workflow, and the integration with the rest of your outdoor space. We think about where the cook stands relative to guests, how smoke and heat travel, where utilities connect, and how the kitchen relates to your patio, seating areas, and landscape.
Complete Build, Every Detail
We handle every aspect of the build: structural foundation, steel or block framing, stone veneer or tile finishing, granite or quartzite countertops, gas and electrical connections, plumbing for sinks, and integrated lighting. Our outdoor kitchens are built with the same attention to detail you’d expect from an interior kitchen remodel.
Outdoor Kitchen Styles
From compact grilling stations to full chef’s kitchens
Custom BBQ Islands
Stone-veneer islands with built-in grills, side burners, and prep space. The foundation of most outdoor kitchens.
Full Outdoor Kitchens
Complete cooking and entertaining stations with countertops, sinks, refrigeration, storage, and multiple cooking zones.
Pizza Oven Installations
Wood-fired or gas pizza ovens integrated into your outdoor kitchen or installed as standalone features.
Bar & Entertainment Areas
Dedicated bar seating, beverage centers, and serving counters designed for hosting.
Features & Components
Pergolas & Shade Structures
Architectural structures that extend your outdoor living season year-round
A pergola transforms an open patio into a defined outdoor room – providing filtered shade, vertical architectural interest, and a focal point that anchors your outdoor living space. We build custom pergolas as part of larger outdoor renovations, designed and integrated with the surrounding hardscape.
Freestanding Pergolas
Independent structures that define outdoor rooms anywhere on your property. Ideal for creating a dining area, lounge space, or focal point without connecting to your home’s structure.
Attached Patio Covers
Connected directly to your home, extending your indoor living space seamlessly outdoors. The most popular choice among our Bay Area clients.
Modern Aluminum Structures
Sleek, low-maintenance aluminum pergolas with clean lines. Available with motorized louvered roof systems for adjustable sun and rain control.
Cedar & Redwood Pergolas
Classic wood pergolas built with premium, naturally rot-resistant lumber. Develop a beautiful patina over time and complement both traditional and transitional styles.
