Outdoor Living Spaces in Columbus
Outdoor kitchens, fireplaces, fire features, and pergolas — rooms without walls, built with the same structure and detailing as the house itself.
Permanent construction, not patio furniture
An outdoor kitchen is gas, water, electrical, drainage, and masonry stacked into one assembly. Built casually, it cracks, shifts, and fails within a few winters. Built correctly, it becomes the most-used room of the house from April through November.
We engineer outdoor living spaces as permanent construction: footings below the frost line, weatherproof cabinetry, correctly drafted fireplaces, and utilities roughed in before any stone veneer goes on. For homes and commercial properties across Columbus, that means spaces that look finished, work properly, and hold up to Ohio weather year after year.

Outdoor living, built for Ohio's seasons
Central Ohio gives you a long outdoor season if the space is built for it. We design for the weather on both ends of the year.
Frost-depth footings
Kitchens, fireplaces, and structures sit on footings below the frost line, so they don't crack or shift over the winter.
A longer season
Fireplaces, fire features, covered structures, and heaters extend comfortable evenings into spring and fall.
Weatherproof materials
Cabinetry, counters, and finishes chosen to handle summer humidity and winter freeze.
Permits & approvals
We handle permits and HOA architectural review for structures, gas lines, and electrical work.
