South Florida Custom Outdoor Kitchens - The Best Room In The House Awaits

So Many Options

So Many Options

There are so many options and uses for outdoor kitchens. Which brings to mind a story of mine; a date who once joined me at a luxury hotel for New Year; after Auld Lang Syne had been sung and the party was over, I could not find him anywhere and he had the keys to my room in his pocket. After searching the premises for quite literally hours, the security guards finally found him, passed out drunk, laid out on the counter of the hotel outdoor kitchen, just like a suckling pig. I left him there, what I should have done is stuffed an apple in his mouth first, then left him there! Needless to say, this is not what outdoor kitchens are designed for and I am no longer dating the same suckling pig.

There are so many designs and options for outdoor kitchens; with the main thrust for the need being to take advantage of great weather conditions and enjoy your beautifully landscaped gardens; sharing with your nearest and dearest and entertaining. Wood burning ovens, BBQ islands, smokers, built-in grills, even gas cooking as well as washing up, refrigeration, garbage and storage facilities may feature in these designs. All you need to do is dream it, Landscape Art will build it and you get to pleasure of cooking and entertaining with it, right in the heart of the action while it is all happening. Cooking outdoors is an extremely social activity, with everyone pitching in and offering to share their secret recipe for BBQ-ing Kobe beef-steaks best.

Resort Living At Home

It is an anomaly that people work so hard to pay for a home that they get to spend so little time enjoying. With all the right features and facilities in place, why even go to a resort? Your home is your castle, so spend time enjoying it and when the whether is good an outdoor kitchen can be put to very good use.

Custom outdoor kitchens have become an integral part of patio or poolside entertainment areas. Do hire a building/landscaping specialist to ensure that continuity and a cohesive design with the garden and other outdoor building features takes place. This needs to be an area you are able to relax in, as well as add value to your property and feel comfortable entertaining with.

Considerations for Weatherproofing

Cheap always ends up being expensive in the long term and there are cost considerations to bear in mind, in particular in states where harsh weather conditions may be expected out-of-season. Not all appliances are weatherproof, so ensure that both you and your landscaper look into this carefully. As far at the building of the kitchen is concerned, look into matching existing patio, pool surround, pathways or other brickwork, as it is hardwearing and far less weather-sensitive than indoor kitchen materials and more cohesive with your current patio or entertainment area design. It is easy to get swept along with aesthetics, but brick pavers used to construct outdoor kitchens have great aesthetic appeal as well as practicality.
