Outdoor Kitchen Pads
Reinforced slabs and decorative surrounds engineered for grill islands, pizza ovens, refrigerators and outdoor kitchens.
- Slab: 5 to 6 in with thickened edge
- Typical time: 3 to 6 working days
- Utilities: Conduit and gas stub-outs
What it is, and why it works.
An outdoor kitchen island, with a stone veneer, a grill, a fridge and a countertop, can weigh several tons. It needs a footing and slab designed for it, level to the quarter inch and sloped to drain around it. Getting the foundation right is what keeps cabinets aligned and appliances working for years.
We pour kitchen pads with thickened edges and steel, set conduit and gas stub-outs where your plan needs them and stamp the surrounding area to match the patio. Coordinating with your kitchen supplier before pouring avoids expensive surprises. In Nashville, many clients add the kitchen as phase two, so we plan the pad in advance.

Kitchen Pads: common questions
Can I add the kitchen later?
Yes. We pour a pad sized and reinforced for the future island, with conduit stubbed, so you can add the kitchen when you are ready.
Do you build the kitchen too?
We focus on the concrete, and coordinate with your outdoor kitchen builder or supplier.
