Outdoor kitchen masonry in Palmdale CA - a block base built around your grill
Tired of a rolling grill on a bare patio? We build a block base sized to your grill and appliances, then finish it in stone.
What goes into outdoor kitchen masonryin a Palmdale backyard
Most people who call about outdoor kitchen masonry in Palmdale already have a grill in mind and a patio with no real place to cook. The job is a block structure sized around your appliances and covered in stone veneer or another finish, so you end up with a solid, non-combustible base instead of a cart.
Here's how I like to run it. We ask you to pick your grill and appliances before we lay out a single block, because the openings get built to their sizes. The block goes up first, the gas and power get roughed in next, and the stone goes on last so nobody has to tear into finished work.
Price mostly turns on the size of the island, how many appliances it holds and the finish you choose. The schedule turns on your appliance choices, the utility work between block and stone, and any permit, which we apply for and line up inspections on. I walk the job with you and put your estimate in writing.
You can count on a straight answer about what your outdoor kitchen needs and nothing extra, so give us a call at (661) 382-3390.
What outdoor kitchen masonry can include
We size the block to the grill and appliances you've picked and finish it to suit your yard. Plenty of owners add a walkway out to it or a brick wall behind it.
Block grill islands
A concrete block base with openings built to your grill, side burner or fridge, laid square and level so each appliance drops in and sits right.
Stone veneer finish
Natural or manufactured stone set over the block, which gives the island the look of solid stone. We set it last, once everything behind it is in place.
Stucco finish
A smooth or textured coat over the block for a cleaner, plainer look. It ties in well when the house itself is stucco.

Outdoor kitchen questions
How much does an outdoor kitchen cost in Palmdale?
The cost of an outdoor kitchen comes down to the size of the island, how many appliances it holds and the finish over the block, so I'd rather price yours than guess. Stucco over the block is the most economical finish, and stone veneer costs more to set. Your written estimate gives you the figure for your yard.
How do I plan an outdoor kitchen layout around my grill?
Pick or buy your grill and appliances first, then set the block layout around them. Building the structure to the wrong dimensions means costly rework, so bring the model names or spec sheets when I come out and we'll lay out around those.
What kind of enclosure does a built-in grill need?
Many built-in grills are made to sit in a masonry, non-combustible enclosure, which is what a block island is. One grill maker says its built-in grill goes in that kind of enclosure only and must be installed and serviced by a qualified installer to local codes. Check your grill's manual before you buy and follow what it says.
How do I find out where to apply for a building permit in Palmdale?
Inside the City of Palmdale, you apply to the city's Building and Safety division through its online Accela Citizen Portal, and every applicant there also needs a construction waste management plan. Some homes with a Palmdale mailing address sit in unincorporated Los Angeles County instead, so the first thing I check is which office covers yours. When your job needs a permit, we handle the application and set up the inspections.
Can a landscaper build an outdoor kitchen in California?
Sometimes, yes. The state licensing board says a landscaping contractor can get permits and contract for an outdoor barbecue when it's part of a larger landscaping project. When the outdoor kitchen is a job on its own, you're hiring for block and stone work, which is what our masons do.
Can I ask my contractor who the subcontractors are in California?
Yes, a California home improvement contract must disclose any subcontractors if you ask, with each one's name, contact information, license number and classification. It's a fair question on an outdoor kitchen, since the gas and power work usually comes in between the block and the stone.
