Outdoor Kitchens: Your Options

Layout that fits how you cook. Straight runs along the house wall, L-shapes, curved kitchens and bars with seating, sized to your patio and traffic flow.
Grill, side burners, smoker space and more. Leave room for the appliances you already love, or plan new ones in the design.
Counters and stonework. Stone or wall-block bases with granite or other natural-stone counters, matched to your pavers and your home.
Cover overhead. Put the kitchen under a gazebo, a lanai extension or a pergola so you can cook through sun and rain.
Power and lighting. Outlets, task lighting and fans planned in the AutoCAD design. Gas and plumbing connections are made by our licensed trade partners.
Pair it with fire. Many kitchens sit beside a fireplace, fire pit or linear fire feature so cooking and lounging share one space.

Outdoor receptacles have required ground-fault (GFCI) protection under the National Electrical Code since the early 1970s, according to the CPSC.

Outdoor Kitchens in Ponte Vedra Beach: What's Different

Outdoor kitchens in Ponte Vedra Beach. In Ponte Vedra Beach, outdoor kitchens usually sit under cover and next to a lounge, so you can cook through sun and summer storms. Our local kitchens include one inside a screened cedar gazebo in The Coves (Sawgrass Players Club) and one under a new cedar A-frame where an unused pool used to be.

Your neighborhood's architectural review comes first. Outdoor kitchens in Ponte Vedra Beach are reviewed for placement and screening as much as for looks, and the electrical, gas and plumbing work is permitted. We coordinate our licensed trade partners and include the kitchen in your HOA package. Confirm current guidelines with your association.

St. Johns County permits. Ponte Vedra Beach is in St. Johns County, which issues the building permit, usually after a clearance sheet, and automatically notifies registered architectural review associations. A recorded Notice of Commencement is required for most permitted projects. See our St. Johns County permit guide.

UF/IFAS advises planning your power needs for cooking and lighting early when designing an outdoor living space.

Our Work in Ponte Vedra Beach

Cedar gazebo carried into the roof, screen enclosure and trellis, Del Webb Ponte Vedra A cedar gazebo carried into the roof, inside a new screen enclosure with our expanded-view upgrade, with a custom cedar trellis, a paver addition and a seating wall finishing the space.

From old pool to cedar A-frame and outdoor kitchen, Ponte Vedra Beach We filled in an unused pool and built an A-frame cedar gazebo carried into the roof, over a new paver patio with a gas fire bowl. Underneath sits an outdoor kitchen with a bar and granite counters. This family came back to us for their second project.

Cedar A-frame over-frame, gable screen enclosure and fireplace bar, The Coves (Sawgrass Players Club) We demoed this backyard and started over. An expanded-view A-frame (gable) screen enclosure flows into a custom cedar A-frame we over-framed onto the house, with a second A-frame dormer to match the home, and large panoramic sliding doors open the living room straight to the lanai. Under the A-frame, a stained tongue-and-groove ceiling holds lights, ceiling fans, speakers and heaters. A white stucco linear fireplace with a TV above is flanked by shiplap privacy walls with lit shelves and a wet bar on each side, and a white stucco outdoor kitchen has a grill, storage and a level back bar. A French-pattern natural-stone deck and a fire bowl finish the space.
