Outdoor Kitchens on the ground in Jacksonville
Lake Jacksonville (1,320 acres) is owned and managed by the City of Jacksonville, with its own shoreline rules and a permit office independent of the bigger TRWD/AMWA/UNRMWA system. Most residential work here is private deeded-lot docks with single or dual lifts, plus periodic dredging in the longer coves. The Lake Palestine east shore in this market follows UNRMWA rules; we manage both authority packets on the same project when an owner has properties on each lake.
Recent work near: Lake Jacksonville, Love's Lookout, East Side Estates, US-69 South corridor.

Quick FAQ
Full FAQ →What's included in a typical outdoor kitchen build?
Standard scope includes the built-in cabinet structure, countertops, a grill, prep space, and lighting. We can layer in:
- Side burners and warming drawers
- Outdoor refrigerator and sink (with plumbing)
- Pizza oven or smoker integration
- Bar seating and overhead pergola
- Built-in cooler or kegerator slot
We design the package around how you actually entertain — a small footprint with one great grill beats a sprawling kitchen with appliances nobody uses.
How long does an outdoor kitchen take to build?
Standard built-in kitchen on existing patio: 1–2 weeks. Add masonry walls, custom concrete tops, or full plumbing/gas runs and you're at 2–4 weeks.
Most of that variance is countertop fabrication (concrete cures slowly, granite needs templating and shop time). We sequence the structure and appliance work around the countertop schedule so the project doesn't sit waiting.
What's the best countertop material for outdoors?
Three serious options for Texas outdoor use: sealed concrete, granite, and outdoor-rated porcelain tile.
We avoid most marbles and quartzes outdoors — they're more porous than they look, and direct sun causes color shift in resin-bonded engineered stones. If you've seen quartz countertops outside, they were probably indoor-rated and will start crazing within 2–3 summers.
