Here are some considerations your outdoor kitchen contractor wants you to keep in mind to create an out-of-home kitchen that’s both beautiful and functional.

With that said, an outdoor kitchen contractor can also guide you through the planning and design process as you refine your vision for this space. Here are some considerations your outdoor kitchen contractor wants you to keep in mind to create an out-of-home kitchen that’s both beautiful and functional.
Foundation
Firstly, your outdoor kitchen contractor will go over the layout and foundation of your outdoor space. This could mean either planning construction to put in a deck or patio to house your new outdoor kitchen, or doing some maintenance work to get your existing deck or patio ready for the project. A concrete or natural stone patio can be an excellent foundation for building the kitchen feature on top of it, as would a restained wood deck or composite deck. Basically, you want the foundation to be durable and non-slip. Also, keep in mind the possibility of getting food and grease stains on the floor, which will need cleaning.
Placement
If you already have a hardscape foundation for your outdoor kitchen to go on, this will greatly influence your kitchen placement. You also want to consider the orientation. The outdoor kitchen contractor is likely to suggest a placement and location for your kitchen that’s easy to get to from your indoor kitchen. At the same time, many want to figure out a way to build the kitchen without blocking their view from their home to the rest of their yard. This will vary from home to home. Therefore, an experienced outdoor kitchen contractor can lend some solid advice for your particular project.
Size
Another factor to consider is the size of your kitchen feature. Do you want a more complete cooking experience or just some smaller additions to make it easier to use your grill? The scope of your project can be determined mainly by the size and configuration of your desired kitchen. It would also be best if you considered how you might limit the size so you can keep enough space for outdoor seating and dining.
