An outdoor kitchen is a built-in cooking and gathering area: a BBQ island with a grill, counters, storage, and often a sink, refrigerator and fire feature. CoastLife Pools designs and builds them across the Treasure Coast, handling framing, masonry, countertops, appliances, plumbing, gas and electrical with one crew. Designed with a pool, the utilities go in once and the whole backyard moves through one permit set.
What We Build
One Project, Not Two
Most outdoor kitchens get bolted on after a pool is finished. That means trenching gas and electric through a brand new deck, pavers that do not quite match, and a second round of permits.
When the kitchen is on the plan from day one, utility runs go in during pool construction, the island sits on the same engineered deck, materials match, and the whole backyard moves through one permit set instead of two. If you are planning a new pool or a remodel, that is the moment to add the kitchen.
Built to Live Outside
A Treasure Coast outdoor kitchen lives in salt air, UV and summer downpours. We spec materials accordingly, and we place the kitchen for breeze, smoke, shade and the sight line to the pool, because whoever is grilling is usually also watching swimmers.
| What we use | What fails outside | |
|---|---|---|
| Island framing | Masonry or marine-grade framing | Wood that swells and rots |
| Countertops | Granite and other stone | Surfaces that fade or stain in sun |
| Appliances | Stainless, outdoor-rated | Indoor units that rust out |
| Storage | Outdoor-rated cabinets and drawers | Indoor cabinetry |
| Utilities | Permitted gas, circuits and plumbing | Extension cords and hoses |
How a Kitchen Project Runs
- Design. layout, appliances, counters and position in the yard, shown with the pool and patio in the 3D design.
- Permits. gas, electrical and plumbing drawn and permitted, on the same set as the pool when there is one.
- Utilities. gas lines, circuits and plumbing run before the deck and pavers go down.
- Build. the island is framed, faced and topped, and the surrounding hardscape is finished.
- Appliances and walkthrough. appliances are installed and connected, inspections pass, and we show you how everything runs.
Kitchens sit inside our broader outdoor living work: patios, decks and coping, pergolas, lighting and screen enclosures. Bring the whole wish list and we will phase it into a plan and a budget.
