Outdoor kitchens in Broward County
Oasis Custom Hardscapes designs outdoor kitchens and gathering spaces for residential and commercial properties throughout Broward County, Florida. A good outdoor kitchen is planned around how you cook and entertain, not just the grill.
Made for gathering
The best outdoor kitchens feel like part of the home. We plan the layout around how you cook, where guests sit and how people move through the space. Then we choose finishes that suit your house and your landscape.
Because an outdoor kitchen involves utilities, structure and weather, it works best as part of a larger plan with the patio, lighting and landscaping around it.
What we can build
- Grill islands and built-in countersWorkspace and storage around the grill and appliances.
- Bars and seating countersPlaces for guests to sit and talk while you cook.
- Stone, brick and stucco finishesFinishes chosen to match the home and the landscape.
- Covered and open layoutsSpaces designed for shade, shelter and airflow.
- Fire features and seating nearbyA natural next stop once the food is done.
- Lighting for evening cookingTask and ambient light so the space works after dark.
What to plan before you build
Practical points we cover with every project, so there are no surprises later.
Utilities come first
Gas (natural gas or propane), electric, water and drainage all affect the layout. Gas, electrical and plumbing connections generally need licensed trades and permits.
Coastal air is hard on metal
Near the water, salt and humidity corrode ordinary stainless steel. Ask about marine-grade stainless for appliances and hardware.
Shade, storms and structures
A roof or pergola makes the space usable in the sun and rain, but structures in Florida have to meet building code, including wind requirements.
Ventilation and clearance
A grill under a cover needs proper clearance and ventilation. Plan it from the start instead of adding it later.
Counters that handle sun and heat
Counter materials should stand up to UV, heat and moisture. We talk through the trade-offs.
Flow and work zones
Cooking, prep, serving and seating should not get in each other's way. A good layout makes the space easy to use.

Every project starts with a conversation about how you want to live outside.

Questions about outdoor kitchens
Short answers to what people ask first.
How much does an outdoor kitchen cost?
It depends on the size, the appliances, the materials and the utilities involved. We would rather understand your plan first and talk through scope and budget before anything moves forward.
Do I need a permit for an outdoor kitchen?
Often, yes, especially when gas, electrical or a roof structure is involved. Requirements differ by city, so check with your building department and your HOA.
Natural gas or propane?
It depends on whether a gas line is available at the property and what you want to cook on. Natural gas needs a line run to the kitchen, while propane uses a tank. We can talk through the options.
Can you add a kitchen to an existing patio?
Often, depending on the patio, where the utilities are and how much space you have. A site visit shows what is possible.
What materials hold up best near the coast?
Salt air is hard on metal, so marine-grade stainless steel is worth asking about, along with durable stone or masonry finishes. We can talk through what suits your property.
