Design Your Dream Outdoor Kitchen

Are you thinking about sprucing up your outdoor space and installing an outdoor kitchen? An outdoor kitchen is a perfect way to create a beautiful and comfortable cooking and dining experience for you, your family, and your friends. Spring is on the horizon, and it is the perfect time to get started on your dream project. With the help of Planet Stone, you can design your dream outdoor kitchen quickly and easily.


One of the most important things to consider is material. The best choice is something that won't rust or deteriorate over time, such as stone. Good quality stone and expert stone installation are key components when it comes to making sure that your outdoor kitchen stands up against weather elements while still looking amazing. 


Not only are these materials incredibly resilient, but they also come in a variety of colors and textures that will give your outdoor kitchen a unique look. With Planet Stone’s vast array of natural stones, you’re sure to find something that perfectly suits your needs.


Great Stones For The Outdoors


Granite: The King of Stones

Granite is one of the most popular materials used when designing outdoor kitchens. It’s strong and durable, withstanding weather conditions like rain and snow without degrading over time. It’s also heat resistant, so you can place your pans directly on the countertop or use it as a cutting board without worrying about damaging it. Plus, its variety of colors makes it easy to match any style or theme.


Quartz: Practical and Beautiful

Like granite, quartz is incredibly durable and long-lasting. But because it is engineered rather than natural stone, quartz can come in a wider range of colors than granite, making it easier to find just the right hue and vein pattern for your outdoor kitchen. In addition to its aesthetics and durability, quartz is also low maintenance; all you need to do is wipe off spills with a damp cloth.


Soapstone: Rustic and Resilient

Soapstone is particularly suited for outdoor kitchen installation. Its resilience in harsh weather helps maintain the stone's structure and performance, as even extremes of cold and hot temperatures won't damage it. What's more, soapstone is a non-porous stone, so it won't absorb fluids or stains from food preparation and spills. 


When designing, don’t forget about the hardscaping. Pathways, built-in seating areas or fire pits all add up to create a truly special atmosphere for entertaining guests outdoors or just enjoying some peace and quiet yourself. Our stone installation team can build the kitchen of your dreams.


And for the finishing touches, you can have lots of fun adding lighting features, planters or decorative pieces – allowing you to create a one-of-a-kind oasis right in your own backyard.
