Custom Outdoor Kitchens in Upper Arlington, Ohio
Give your patio a permanent place to cook and serve. Flores plans outdoor kitchens for Upper Arlington homeowners, balancing preparation counters and storage with the seating and garden space you want to keep.
Designed around your home
Add cooking without losing usable patio space
Begin with the parts of your backyard that already work. An island should not take away the path to the yard or crowd the dining area. Compare a focused grill station with a larger kitchen, using actual furniture dimensions and the appliances you intend to buy.
Our Upper Arlington Fireside Patio demonstrates local patio, wall and landscaping work; it does not document an outdoor kitchen. For kitchen inspiration, the Bridlespur example below is clearly identified as a Delaware project. Each scope has its own planning needs.

Before installation
Planning your Upper Arlington kitchen
Protect circulation and the planting you value
During the assessment, identify the existing paths, steps, trees and planting beds you want to preserve. Discuss construction access and utility routing alongside the kitchen position. Compare a straight station and an island before selecting the footprint.
Gas, electrical, water and drainage needs depend on the selected equipment. Confirm appliance clearances, ventilation and qualified trade work before committing to the island and surrounding surface.
Review the site work and trades as one scope
Upper Arlington provides building-plan submission guidance and separate trade-permit information. Use those resources to discuss the actual improvements: an island, gas or electrical connections, a patio change and any covered structure. Requirements depend on the proposed work and property.
Think beyond the island
Connect the kitchen with the rest of the yard
Explore patios and hardscapes, pergolas and pavilions, and fire features as parts of one backyard plan.

No. It documents patio, fire feature, walls, drainage and landscaping. Our kitchen example here is Bridlespur in Delaware; the projects should not be confused.
