Outdoor Kitchens
Counters, grill surrounds, fire features and full alfresco kitchens built for entertaining.
Bring the indoors out. Our outdoor kitchens are custom-built around your space, your appliances, and how you love to entertain.
An outdoor kitchen is the ultimate backyard upgrade — it keeps the cook in the middle of the party instead of stuck inside, and it turns everyday grilling into a genuine entertaining experience. Because it combines masonry, concrete, utilities, and appliances into one weatherproof installation, an outdoor kitchen rewards a builder who can do it all under one roof. That's exactly what Culman Construction brings.
We design every outdoor kitchen around three questions: what you like to cook, how many people you host, and how the space flows with the rest of your patio and yard. From there we build the structure — masonry or framed-and-clad islands with concrete or stone countertops, seating overhangs, storage, and surrounds for your grill, smoker, or pizza oven. We coordinate the layout with your patio, walkways, and any fire features for one cohesive outdoor living area.
Because everything lives outside year-round, we build with weather-resistant materials and finishes engineered for Tennessee's temperature swings. Whether you want a compact grill island or a full kitchen with a bar, fireplace, and dining space, we handle the masonry, the counters, and the finishing — all backed by our one-year workmanship warranty.

Outdoor Kitchens FAQs
How much does an outdoor kitchen cost?+
Cost ranges widely based on size, materials, and appliances — a simple grill island is far more affordable than a full kitchen with a bar, fireplace, and premium counters. We build a design and estimate around your budget and priorities.
What countertop material holds up outdoors?+
Poured concrete and natural stone are the top choices because they handle heat, sun, and weather without warping or fading. We finish and seal them for long-term durability.
Can you match my existing patio?+
Yes. We coordinate the kitchen's masonry, cladding, and counters with your existing patio, walkways, and fire features so everything reads as one cohesive space.
Do you install the grill and appliances?+
We build the surrounds and set the appliances into them. We'll advise on sizing and placement during design so your grill, smoker, or pizza oven fits perfectly.
