Outdoor Kitchen Design & Engineering

Where Luxury Design Meets Precision Craftsmanship

At Garden Living, we design and build custom outdoor kitchens that redefine what’s possible in exterior living environments. Our work blends architectural-grade engineering, luxury materials, and bespoke hand-craftsmanship - producing functional sculptures that enhance residential and commercial outdoor spaces across Ontario.

Whether you’re a homeowner elevating your backyard or a design professional seeking a fabrication partner capable of executing complex, non-standard concepts, Garden Living delivers unmatched design capability, technical excellence, and long-term durability.

 

What Makes a Garden Living Outdoor Kitchen Unique

1. In-House Design Studio: 3D Renderings, Visualizations & Technical Drawings

Garden Living is not a reseller - we are a design-first fabrication studio with a full in-house design, fabrication and install team. Every project includes:

  • High-end SketchUp 3D renderings

  • Accurate visualizations showing appliances, materials, colours, and finishes

  • Millimetre-precise cabinetry breakdowns (doors, drawers, spacing, dimensions)

  • Fully engineered layouts for integration with pergolas, patios, pools & landscapes

Professionals receive drawings suitable for planning, (concrete pad drawings, electrical, gas and plumbing service drawings) coordination, and client approval. Homeowners receive clarity and confidence in their design before construction begins.

 

2. Expert Planning & Full Project Coordination

Each client receives a dedicated project manager who oversees the entire execution from concept to installation. We handle:

  • Gas and electrical planning (new runs, extending, rerouting, upgrading)

  • Coordination with electricians, landscapers, contractors, plumbers, gas fitters & designers

  • Site measurements & verification

  • Scheduling, logistics & inspection requirements

  • Communication between homeowners and all involved trades at all points.

If your electrical outlets are in the wrong place, we address it. If you have no gas line near your outdoor kitchen area, we plan and coordinate it. Garden Living provides complete peace of mind, your kitchen is turnkey and fully managed. Please note that Gas, Electrical and Plumbing services for outdoor kitchens are offered through Garden Living directly and must be quoted separately from your outdoor kitchen. These services are not included as standard and will require us to perform a site visit to assess requirements.

 

3. A Complete Build Solution | Not Just Cabinetry

We provide every component required to build a luxury outdoor kitchen:

  • Custom cabinetry

  • Premium outdoor appliances (grills, refrigeration, pizza ovens, bar appliances)

  • Countertops (stone, porcelain, Dekton, stainless steel, and more)

  • Custom metalwork & millwork

  • Lighting integration

  • Custom bars, seating solutions, and backsplash structures

Professionals love working with us because we simplify procurement, coordination, and engineering all from one place.

4. Endura Cabinetry | Stronger Than All-Metal Outdoor Kitchens

Our proprietary Endura outdoor cabinetry system is engineered for durability, beauty, and precision. Our Endura cabinetry panels:

  • Are solid and structural - not hollow like steel cabinetry

  • Do not dent or scratch like metal

  • Resist UV exposure, moisture, frost, heat, and seasonal expansion

  • Maintain finish integrity through harsh Canadian winters

  • Provide architectural-grade performance outdoors

This results in kitchens that remain beautiful and functional for years, with less maintenance and higher durability.

 

5. Truly Custom Builds | No Modular or Off-the-Shelf Components

Every Garden Living kitchen is made-to-measure. This allows us to create:

  • Custom layouts that follow architectural geometry

  • Non-standard heights, shapes, or unique configurations

  • Stone-clad, stainless, powder-coated or mixed-material designs

  • Kitchens that integrate perfectly with pools, pergolas, retaining walls, and patios

  • Solutions that designers and architects cannot source from modular brands

If you can imagine it, we can build it - to the millimetre.

 

6. Unlimited Finishes | Stone, Stainless, Powder-Coat, Wood & Hybrid Designs

We offer one of the broadest material palettes in the industry:

  • Fully stone-clad outdoor kitchens

  • Stainless steel and powder-coated stainless cabinets

  • True wood accents for warmth and contrast

  • Hybrid combinations using stone, metal, wood, and porcelain

This flexibility allows designers to match exterior architecture, landscaping, and interior design language.

 

7. Advanced Aluminum Subframe Engineering

Every Garden Living kitchen is built on a structural extruded aluminum subframe, enabling capabilities unmatched by traditional cabinetry. We can create:

  • Floating outdoor kitchen islands up to 10 feet long
    No support legs. A weightless, architectural appearance.

  • Integrated backsplashes up to 36” high
    Supported structurally through the cabinetry frame.

  • Custom sit-up or stand-up bar tables
    Perfect proportions, cantilevers, and dimensions made possible through our engineered extrusions.

For design professionals, this means true creative freedom. For homeowners, it means an elevated, timeless outdoor kitchen

 

8. Industry-Leading Warranty

We offer a limited lifetime warranty on all outdoor kitchens we install. This level of protection reflects the durability of our materials, engineering, installation quality, and provides peace of mind for homeowners and professionals alike.
