Imagine spending summer evenings hosting friends, cooking delicious meals in your outdoor kitchen, and creating memories that last a lifetime. An outdoor kitchen is more than just a backyard upgrade—it’s a centerpiece for your social life and an investment in your home. At Mountainscape South, we specialize in designing and building outdoor kitchens tailored to your lifestyle and Scottsdale’s unique climate. Here’s why you should start planning this winter and how an outdoor kitchen can elevate your summer social life.
While summer might seem like the obvious time to think about outdoor upgrades, the key to having your outdoor kitchen ready in time is to start planning during the winter months.
Winter is the perfect time to get a head start. As spring and summer approach, contractors’ schedules fill up quickly. Starting now means you’ll have your pick of the best professionals and a better chance of finishing your project on time.
A custom outdoor kitchen isn’t something you want to rush. Winter gives you plenty of time to work with a professional designer to plan a layout, choose materials, and select appliances. You’ll have the freedom to explore ideas and make thoughtful decisions.
Many popular outdoor kitchen features, such as grills, refrigerators, and custom countertops, may have long lead times. Planning during the winter ensures you can source everything you need well ahead of summer.
Starting your project in winter guarantees that your outdoor kitchen will be ready when summer hits. You’ll avoid construction noise during prime outdoor months and can jump right into hosting unforgettable gatherings.
Your outdoor kitchen isn’t just a place to cook—it’s a hub for connection, entertainment, and enjoyment. Here’s how it can enhance your social life:
An outdoor kitchen makes your backyard the go-to destination for social events. Whether it’s a casual BBQ, a birthday party, or a relaxed evening with friends, you’ll have the perfect space to bring people together.
With an outdoor kitchen, you’re never stuck inside while everyone else is outside having fun. You can cook, serve, and socialize all in one space, staying at the center of the action.
An outdoor kitchen adds a “wow” factor to your home. From sleek countertops to state-of-the-art appliances, it’s a conversation starter that makes every gathering feel special.
From casual game nights to elegant dinner parties under the stars, an outdoor kitchen is incredibly versatile. Add a built-in bar or pizza oven to take your hosting game to the next level.
Choose materials and appliances that can withstand the heat and UV exposure. Durable options like stainless steel cabinets, granite countertops, and porcelain tiles are ideal for long-lasting beauty and functionality.
Add shading elements, like pergolas or umbrellas, to keep the space cool during the day. Ceiling fans or misters can also make summer gatherings more enjoyable.
Design your outdoor kitchen with your social life in mind. Features like a built-in bar, ample seating, or a firepit for late-night chats add a personal touch that your guests will love.
Typically, it takes 6–12 weeks from design to completion, depending on the project’s size and complexity. Starting in winter ensures your kitchen is ready for summer.
We recommend a built-in grill, outdoor refrigerator, and sink as essentials. For added luxury, consider a pizza oven or beverage center.
Absolutely! With Scottsdale’s mild winters, an outdoor kitchen is a year-round asset. Add heating elements like a firepit or patio heater for colder nights.
Shade structures, fans, and comfortable seating are must-haves. Add lighting to extend your gatherings into the evening.
Yes! It boosts your property value, enhances your lifestyle, and creates a space where memories are made.
