Outdoor Kitchen Builders
At Arbuckle Outdoor Living, we plan the outdoor kitchen and the patio under it as one project.

Outdoor Kitchens
Cook and Eat Outside, Right Off the Patio
As outdoor kitchen builders in Indianapolis, Arbuckle Outdoor Living plans the kitchen and the paver patio it sits on as one project. That way the cooking area, the dining space and the walkways all line up, and the whole thing rests on a base built for Indiana winters. A custom outdoor kitchen lets you cook where your guests are instead of running back and forth to the house.

Outdoor Kitchen Installation: What's Included
Kitchen Layout
Planning where the cooking area, counters and seating go on your patio.

Connecting Paths
Walkways that link the kitchen to the back door and the rest of the yard.
Appliances and Counters
Grills, appliances and counters for cooking and serving, installed as part of the build.
Gas, Electric and Water
The utility lines your kitchen needs, installed or coordinated by us.
Finishing Touches
Lighting, plantings and shade that make the space usable day and night.

Outdoor Kitchen Design Starts With the Patio
The patio decides how well a kitchen works. It needs to be big enough for cooking, a counter and a table without feeling crowded, and it needs a solid base under the extra weight. Since the patio is our work too, the kitchen and the patio get planned together from the start. Nothing gets squeezed in later.

Outdoor Kitchen Builders for the Whole Space
As outdoor kitchen contractors, we look past the counters. A kitchen is usually part of a bigger outdoor living area. Add a pergola for shade over the cooking area, a fire pit nearby for after dinner, or low-voltage landscape lighting so the space works after dark. We can plan those pieces together so they fit.

Do you build the patio for the outdoor kitchen too?
Yes. We plan and build the kitchen and its paver patio as one project, so the layout and the base are made for each other.
Can you add an outdoor kitchen to my existing patio?
Often, yes, depending on its size, layout and base. We'll look at it during your free quote. If it's too small, we can extend it with new pavers.
What else pairs well with an outdoor kitchen?
A pergola for shade, a fire feature for cooler nights and lighting for evenings are natural add-ons. See our outdoor fireplaces and fire pits.
What can go into an outdoor kitchen?
Grills, other appliances, counters and the gas, electric and water lines to run them. We install or coordinate all of it, so you have one company to call.
Do outdoor kitchens need a gas line?
Only if you want gas appliances. We can run the gas line or coordinate it as part of the project, along with any electric and water.
