Imagine stepping into your backyard and feeling like you are on a vacation. A custom outdoor kitchen can make that dream a reality. At LNG-Hartigan, we believe your outdoor space should be an extension of your home — a place where you can cook, relax, and make memories with family and friends.
A custom outdoor kitchen is more than just a grill. It’s a fully functional cooking and entertaining area designed just for you. Whether you love hosting large parties or enjoying quiet family dinners outside, a custom outdoor kitchen gives you everything you need to make outdoor living even better.

Why Choose a Custom Outdoor Kitchen?
A custom outdoor kitchen gives you the power to design the perfect space tailored to your lifestyle and the way you love to entertain. Instead of settling for a one-size-fits-all setup, you can create a kitchen that perfectly matches your needs, style, and budget. Whether you’re dreaming of a sleek, modern grill station, a cozy outdoor bar, or a fully-equipped space for hosting large gatherings, the possibilities are endless.
At LNG-Hartigan, we take pride in working closely with you to bring your vision to life. From the initial design to selecting the layout, materials, and appliances, we guide you through every step of the process. Our goal is to ensure your outdoor kitchen seamlessly blends with your home, creating a space that not only elevates your outdoor living experience but also enhances your property’s value. Let us help you turn your outdoor space into a functional, stylish extension of your home, perfect for making memories year-round.
Key Features of a Custom Outdoor Kitchen
Every custom outdoor kitchen is different because every homeowner has a different vision. Some popular features include:
- Built-in grills and smokers
- Outdoor refrigerators and freezers
- Sinks and dishwashers
- Pizza ovens
- Bar seating and countertops
- Storage cabinets for utensils and cookware
When you invest in a custom outdoor kitchen, you are creating a space that’s as functional as your indoor kitchen — and maybe even more fun!
Benefits of Having a Custom Outdoor Kitchen
There are so many reasons to add a custom outdoor kitchen to your home:
- More Time Outside: With a custom outdoor kitchen, you can cook and dine outdoors without running back and forth to your house. It makes spending time outside more enjoyable and more convenient.
- Perfect for Entertaining: Your backyard will be the go-to spot for barbecues, birthday parties, and holiday gatherings. A custom outdoor kitchen makes hosting guests easy and stress-free.
- Increase Home Value: Outdoor kitchens are a major selling point. A well-designed custom outdoor kitchen can boost your home’s value and make it more attractive to future buyers.
- Save on Utility Bills: Cooking outside keeps the heat out of your home, helping to lower your air conditioning bills during the warmer months.

Choosing the Right Design for Your Custom Outdoor Kitchen
When designing your custom outdoor kitchen, it’s important to think about how you will use the space. At LNG-Hartigan, we help you consider all the important factors, like:
- How much cooking space you need
- The number of people you plan to entertain
- Your favorite cooking styles (grilling, smoking, baking)
- Storage needs for cookware and utensils
A custom outdoor kitchen can be as simple or as luxurious as you want it to be. Some homeowners prefer a basic grill and prep area, while others want full kitchens with every feature imaginable. Our team will help you find the right balance.
Materials Matter in Your Outdoor Kitchen
Since your kitchen will be outdoors, choosing the right materials is crucial to ensure it withstands the elements and maintains its beauty over time. At LNG-Hartigan, we specialize in using high-quality, weather-resistant materials designed to handle sun, rain, snow, and fluctuating temperatures year-round. Stainless steel appliances are an excellent choice for their durability and resistance to rust, while stone countertops not only look stunning but are also highly resistant to wear and tear. Treated wood is another popular option, offering a natural, timeless look while being specially prepared to resist moisture and pests.
By investing in these materials, your custom outdoor kitchen will be built to last, allowing you to enjoy your space for years to come without worrying about constant repairs, wear, or expensive upgrades. Whether you’re hosting summer cookouts or cozy winter gatherings, your outdoor kitchen will remain a functional and beautiful centerpiece for entertaining friends and family.
Customization Options for Your Outdoor Kitchen
One of the best parts of building a custom outdoor kitchen is getting exactly what you want. Some exciting options include:
- Built-in wine coolers
- Fireplace or fire pit nearby
- Outdoor televisions and sound systems
- Decorative lighting for nighttime entertaining
- Covered areas or pergolas for shade and shelter
Your backyard will become a place where you can relax, cook, and celebrate in style.
Making the Most of Every Season
A custom outdoor kitchen is not just for summer. With the right setup, you can enjoy your outdoor space during spring, fall, and even winter. Adding features like heaters, covered patios, and windbreaks helps extend the use of your outdoor kitchen year-round.
At LNG-Hartigan, we think about all the seasons when designing your custom outdoor kitchen, so you can enjoy your investment as much as possible.
