OUTDOOR LIVING AND ENTERTAINING- KITCHEN ESSENTIALS
cdavis • May 01, 2020
As we gear up for the Memorial Day weekend, now is the time to start planning for all the family reunions and evenings barbecuing with friends. What better way to entertain than on your new outdoor patio and kitchen designed and installed by E.A. Quinn Landscape Contracting. During our initial consultation we will learn about how you and your family entertain and design the perfect plan with a big “WOW” factor, allowing you to entertain with ease!
Nearly every outdoor kitchen includes a grill, but there are many other options you may want to consider.
Here are some of the common elements we recommend in our designs:
- Seating – No one wants to grill alone. A patio table or built-in bar seating will make sure the grill-master can entertain while he (or she) cooks.
- Sink – Clean-up is a cinch when you have an outdoor sink right next to your grill.
- Refrigerator – Keep all the condiments and food right where you need them while you grill and entertain.
- Smoker – If you are a fan of barbecue, you may want to consider a smoker, which can be installed seamlessly with your outdoor kitchen.
- Wet bar – If you are a fan of beer or wine, a wet bar in your outdoor kitchen is essential.
- Pizza oven – Why order out when you can prepare your pizza on your own patio?
- Pergola or awning – A covering for your outdoor kitchen will ensure that you can use it in all kinds of weather.
