Custom Outdoor Kitchens: Tailored Perfection for Discerning Tastes

For clients who envision a truly unique outdoor culinary oasis, our custom outdoor kitchen solutions offer limitless possibilities. We believe that an outdoor kitchen should perfectly reflect your personal style, cooking habits, and the specific contours of your outdoor living space.

Our process for custom outdoor kitchens is highly collaborative and meticulous:

• Personalized Design Consultation: We begin with an in-depth consultation, taking the time to understand your lifestyle, aesthetic preferences, desired appliances (from high-end grills and pizza ovens to smokers, side burners, and refrigeration units), and entertaining needs. We consider the specific climate challenges of the South Carolina coast, including salt air exposure, humidity, and sun, recommending materials that will endure.

• 3D Design and Visualization: Our design team utilizes advanced 3D rendering software to bring your vision to life before construction even begins. This allows you to visualize the layout, material selections, and appliance placement, ensuring every detail is perfect before a single stone is laid.

• Precision Craftsmanship: Our skilled artisans and experienced builders bring decades of expertise to every custom project. We work with a wide array of premium, weather-resistant materials, including natural stone, granite, durable composite decking, marine-grade stainless steel, and custom cabinetry built to withstand the elements. For coastal properties, we prioritize materials specifically engineered to resist rust, corrosion, and fading from salt spray.

• Seamless Integration: A custom outdoor kitchen from Legacy Hardscapes & Restoration is designed to seamlessly integrate with your existing landscape, patio, or pool area. We consider utility access (gas, water, electricity), drainage, and traffic flow to create a cohesive and highly functional outdoor living environment.

• Permitting and Compliance: We navigate the complexities of local building codes and permitting requirements across different municipalities, whether you're in Myrtle Beach, Mount Pleasant, or Charleston. This includes understanding regulations for gas lines, electrical work, and permanent structures, ensuring your custom outdoor kitchen is built to code and passes all necessary inspections. Charleston, SC, for instance, enforces the 2021 International Fire Code and International Building Code, with specific considerations for electrical, gas, and plumbing systems. In Horry County, obtaining a building permit for an outdoor kitchen would typically require a completed application, architectural and structural plans, and verification of utilities. Larger or more complex installations, especially those involving permanent structures or significant utility work, will always necessitate proper permitting.

  Prefabricated Outdoor Kitchens:

​

  Speed, Efficiency, and Style For clients seeking a faster installation, a more streamlined process, or a budget-conscious option without compromising on quality or style, our prefabricated outdoor kitchen solutions are an excellent choice. We partner with leading manufacturers to offer high-quality, modular units that combine durability with modern design.

​

Our prefabricated outdoor kitchen services offer:

​

• Efficient Design and Selection: We guide you through a curated selection of pre-designed layouts and modular components that can be configured to fit various outdoor spaces. This allows for quicker decision-making and project initiation.

• High-Quality, Durable Materials: Prefabricated units are constructed from robust, outdoor-rated materials such as powder-coated aluminum, marine-grade polymer (HDPE), composite cabinetry, and engineered stone countertops, all designed to withstand the harsh South Carolina climate, including the humid conditions prevalent in Georgetown and the salty air around Isle of Palms and Folly Beach. These materials are specifically chosen for their resistance to rust, corrosion, warping, and UV degradation, which are critical for coastal environments.

• Faster Installation: Because many components are pre-assembled off-site, installation time is significantly reduced, minimizing disruption to your property. This makes them an ideal solution for quick enhancements in areas like North Myrtle Beach or Murrells Inlet.

• Cost-Effective Solutions: Prefabricated options often present a more predictable budget, as design and construction costs are generally lower than fully custom builds.

• Modern Aesthetics: Today's prefabricated outdoor kitchens are far from "cookie-cutter." They offer sleek, contemporary designs with a variety of finishes, colors, and appliance integrations that rival custom builds. Trends in Myrtle Beach often lean towards durable, low-maintenance materials like marine-grade polymer and stainless steel (specifically 316-grade for coastal resilience), with designs that incorporate features like integrated lighting and smart technology.

• Scalability and Portability: Modular units can sometimes be expanded upon in the future or, in certain cases, even moved if you relocate, offering flexibility.

​

Benefits of a Prefabricated Outdoor Kitchen:

​

• Quick Installation: Ready to enjoy in a shorter timeframe.

• Budget Predictability: Often a more cost-effective option with clear pricing.

• Consistent Quality: Manufactured under controlled conditions for consistent durability.
