Outdoor Kitchens
Plan an outdoor kitchen around how you cook, entertain, store essentials, and move between the house, patio, dining, and gathering areas.
A masonry company serving Chester
We work in Chester Township and Chester Borough on paver and stone patios, retaining walls, walkways, masonry steps, driveways, and masonry repair. Many Chester properties have room for a full outdoor living area, so we also plan pool patios, outdoor kitchens, fire pits, and outdoor fireplaces as part of one layout.
Plan outdoor living as one space
A patio, fire pit, and kitchen work best when they are placed together: the cooking area near the house, seating around the fire feature, and clear paths between them. Deciding on future features now lets the base, gas or electric lines, and drainage be prepared in the first phase.
Grading and drainage on larger lots
Bigger projects move more soil and add more hard surface, which changes how water flows across the lot. We look at existing drainage and slopes before setting patio heights or wall locations, so runoff is directed away from the house and the new work.
Chester permits
Chester Township's Planning & Zoning department states that a zoning permit is required for all property upgrades, including patios and walls, and that land disturbance may need a separate grading application reviewed by the township engineer. Chester Borough has its own zoning office, so confirm the requirements for your address.
Common question: can the project be built in phases?
Yes. We can design the full layout and build the patio and walls first, with the kitchen or fireplace added later, without tearing up finished work.
