"Martin Alvarez installed a beautiful paver patio at my home. From start to finish, he was professional, responsive and did a GREAT job! Martin provided a written price quote, explained the process, showed me examples of his work and completed the project before the expected date of completion. His team was polite, prompt and cleaned up! I truly cannot say enough good things!! I will be calling Martin for future projects!!"

"Gary was very personable, knowledgeable and competent. He provided helpful ideas and suggestions for the design of the patio. He and his crew accomplished the work in a very efficient manner and the resulting patio was very well built and aesthetically pleasing. The shed pad was exactly what we needed. He left the work site neat and clean We are very happy with the end product and would definitely recommend Gary for this type of work. clean up/pad"

"Bruce and his crew were extremely professional and did excellent work. We needed the patio completed by a deadline and Bruce was able to get it done with days to spare. This was a 650 sq/ft patio and all was finished in one week. I would highly recommend Burrell Landscaping for any outdoor patio job. Great work"

"He was very nice, conscientious, polite, and tried his best. He even came out in the rain when no one else would come out in the rain. He came out under poor circumstances, he even made two trips. When I told him I needed it done right away, he was available! It was done in a timely manner, and he picked up the mess of roof tiles that had fallen to the ground. The job turned out bigger than I expected. Almost 2 hours were worked. He gave me some advice on what was going wrong. I will use him again if needed!"

Outdoor Kitchens FAQs, answered by experts

There are several ways to save money and keep costs down when building an outdoor kitchen. Building on an existing patio can reduce the cost of a new foundation, especially if it's close to the house. You can also save on utility line installation by opting out of a sink and using a built-in propane or charcoal grill. If you have the skills, tackling parts of the project yourself—like building or finishing cabinets, installing fixtures, and constructing seating—can lead to significant savings. Reusing appliances you already have is another great way to cut costs. Finally, consider starting small with just the essential components and adding more features over time as your budget allows.

Pallet wood can withstand all kinds of outdoor weather conditions, which is part of why pallet fences are so appealing to DIY-ers. You can weatherproof the wood further before you paint or stain it, as well. Pallet fences are low-cost, easy to install, and can withstand sun and rain exposure without rotting.

It’s possible to build your own outdoor kitchen, with the exception of installing utility lines, but it’s usually better to leave the work to a construction professional. If you want to DIY it, opt for an outdoor kitchen kit. For permanent kitchens and more in-depth designs, hiring an expert will ensure every aspect is high-quality and professional, the proper permits are pulled, and everything works safely. Professionals can also help design your kitchen to make the most out of your space, so it’s well worth the investment.

The best types of wood for outdoor kitchen cabinets are those naturally resistant to weather, water, heat, fading, and mold or mildew. Excellent choices include teak, mahogany, white oak, and Brazilian walnut. It's best to avoid softwoods like pine and cedar, as they are more susceptible to damage and can catch fire easily. For extra protection, ensure the wood is pressure-treated. Regardless of the wood you choose, you will need to apply sealants, oils, and stains regularly to protect your cabinets from the elements.

Yes, if you’ve got the skills and patience, you can build your own outdoor kitchen. Outdoor kitchen kits are available in various levels of completion. You can build your own outdoor kitchen simply by matching your DIY skill level with an appropriate kitchen kit, or if you’re already a pro, you can create a complete custom design from your imagination.
