Custom Outdoor Kitchen Designs, Islands, and Features

Choosing the right combination of materials and layout turns a backyard plan into a lasting, usable gathering place.

Materials and finishes start with a weather-resistant aluminum framework and outdoor-rated hardware. Stone or brick cladding and granite-look counters deliver classic curb appeal. Countertops may use aluminum or 304 stainless for long life.

Layouts that fit tight and large yards

Straight runs suit compact patios. L-shaped islands add prep and serve zones. U-shaped islands maximize cook capacity and host seating without crowding the work area.

  • Core components: built-in grill, outdoor-rated refrigerator, sink with drainage, and organized storage.
  • Seating: bar seating expands hosting while keeping the cook comfortable.
  • Options: modular systems for speed or built-to-order for unique footprints and specialty product choices.

Standard island widths (77″, 98″, 119″, 140″) scale with modular add-ons. Proper ventilation and heat shielding protect finishes and improve longevity. Anchored Construction & Restoration pairs these designs with hardscape and landscape services to complete the full backyard plan.

Our Outdoor Kitchen Design-to-Installation Process

Anchored Construction guides each project with clear steps that keep homeowners confident. The approach pairs measured site work with CAD visualization so you see scale, fit, and clearances before ordering materials. The team prioritizes communication and craftsmanship at every milestone.

Collaborative Concept and CAD Visualization

Designers start with a site visit, measurements, and a short interview about how you cook and host. CAD drawings show grill placement, storage access, countertop overhangs, and traffic flow in the space.

Product Selection and Material Choices

Anchored Construction compares countertops, finishes, and appliance features to balance durability and budget. A modular kitchen island option lets you plan now and expand later.

Efficient Installation with Minimal Disruption

Modular assemblies and a tab-join method reduce time on site. The process includes utility coordination for gas, electric, and water to ensure clean, safe installation at your home.

Quality Assurance and Final Walkthrough

Inspectors check fasteners, leveling, ventilation, and seals for long-term performance. A final walkthrough covers care tips and maintenance so finishes and counters last. Call (865) 316-6933 or email Info@anchoredconstructiontn.com to request a consultation and a CAD concept.

Enhance Your Backyard with Complementary Services

Anchored Construction layers foundation work and landscape design so your backyard flows and lasts.

Deck Building and Concrete Services to Create the Perfect Setting

Level decks and concrete pads give your outdoor kitchen a code-compliant base. They support appliances and cabinets without settling.

Landscape, Hardscape, and Retaining Walls for Beauty and Function

Hardscape elements and retaining walls add structure and control water. They preserve flat, usable space and protect finishes over the years.

Bobcat and Excavation Services for Precise Site Preparation

Excavation improves grade control, drainage, and base compaction. Bobcat work speeds trenching for utilities and readies sub-bases for pavers or slabs.

  • Coordinated services reduce scheduling gaps and change orders by keeping accountability with one team.
  • Durable storage and work zones benefit from proper drainage and base prep to extend performance.
  • A variety of surface options—concrete, pavers, or composite decking—match your home and maintenance preferences.

Discuss multi-phase plans to sequence patios, walls, and the kitchen so the space comes together smoothly.

Local expertise shapes each plan. The team adapts layouts to lot size, sightlines, and Knoxville codes. That ensures the final space integrates with existing landscaping.

Durable finishes and materials are chosen for East Tennessee weather. Options include outdoor-rated finishes and 304 stainless or aluminum countertops for long life and low upkeep.

  • Scaled solutions: modular or built-to-order layouts that fit tight lots or open yards.
  • Function first: grill placement, storage, and a kitchen island that anchor the gathering area.
  • Value-focused: cohesive finishes and quality construction that appeal to future buyers.
