Tired of the same old backyard blues? Us too.
That’s why at Lapis Patios, we don’t just build outdoor kitchens, we craft an escape for you.
An outdoor kitchen is just an extension of your indoor kitchen, but way cooler because it’s outside! It lets you cook, entertain, and relax all in the fresh air.
Imagine sizzling steaks under the stars, the laughter of friends mingling with the aroma of grilled BBQ.
Why settle for indoors — when the party can spill outside? Picture the sun warming your face, a cool drink in hand, while you whip up the best food.
When you see this certification on us, you can rest assured that your project is installed correctly above industry standards, to last longer than we will.
No joke.

Not all backyards are created equal.

Cinder blocks are the preferred material for installation due to their durability, strength, and customization options. They are then covered with natural or cultured stone, or stucco.
Say less. We mean — yes! Metal studs can be a good option for framing an outdoor kitchen.
Potentially! It depends really on factors like —
Deck Strength. We’ll need to assess the deck’s construction materials and weight capacity before we proceed.
It will matter if your deck is structurally sound and able to support the additional weight of all your kitchen components (cabinets, appliances, countertops).
Space Availability. We do a check to make sure that there’s enough space on the deck to comfortably accommodate the kitchen layout without compromising your kitchen safety or functionality.
Utility Access. We’ll ensure that your outdoor kitchen will always have proper access to water lines, gas lines, and electrical connections for your outdoor kitchen appliances.
There’s no single “best” grill, but we recommend Blaze grills and smokers to our clients.
