Tustin Ranch villages enforce Mediterranean / Spanish palettes. Tustin Legacy newer construction trends contemporary. North Tustin estates support estate-scale kitchens with full pizza ovens, hoods, and bar seating on 1-acre lots.

OUTDOOR KITCHEN BUILDS
Outdoor Kitchen Configurations We Build
From a simple BBQ island on a paver patio to a full outdoor kitchen with pizza oven, hood, and bar seating.
BBQ Islands
Built-in grill, side burner, storage, and prep counter. The classic starting point — works in almost any backyard.
Pizza Ovens
Wood-fired or gas-fired built-in pizza ovens with proper insulation, chimney venting, and tile finishes that match the rest of the kitchen.
Full L-Shape Kitchens
Grill, fridge, sink, side burner, and bar seating in an L-shaped layout. The most-built configuration in Tustin.
Hoods, Pergolas & Coverings
Engineered ventilation hoods, custom pergolas, and rain-rated covers so the kitchen is usable in Tustin marine layer and winter rain.
Outdoor Bars
Bar seating, kegerators, ice makers, and dedicated cocktail stations. Perfect addition for poolside entertaining.
Full Outdoor Living
Kitchen, fireplace, fire-pit, lounge seating, and pool/spa coordinated as one cohesive backyard.
MATERIALS THAT LAST
What Holds Up in Tustin
Outdoor kitchen materials are not all created equal — especially in coastal-zone climates. Here is what we spec, and what we avoid.
316 Marine-Grade Stainless
The only stainless we use on coastal-zone projects. Cabinetry, drawers, doors, hood vents, and fasteners. Generic 304 stainless rusts in 2-3 years near salt air.
Cabinetry & FramesPorcelain Slab Counters
Heat-, UV-, stain-, and salt-resistant. Outperforms granite and quartz outdoors and requires no sealing. Our default countertop spec for outdoor use.
CountertopsPorcelain or Travertine Pavers
Cool underfoot, salt-resistant, and easy to replace one tile at a time if anything cracks. We avoid stamped concrete in coastal zones — it spalls.
Flooring & DeckingPremium Built-In Appliances
Lynx, Hestan, DCS, and Wolf grills with sealed electronics and stainless internals. We avoid value brands that fail in year four.
