Outdoor Kitchens and Living Spaces in Phoenix, AZ

Phoenix has 64 companies that build outdoor kitchens and outdoor living spaces and say so on their own websites, 15% of the 427 landscape companies listed in the city and the largest group in Arizona. Very few treat it as a separate job. Of the 64, 58 design and install complete landscapes and 57 lay pavers and hardscape, so a BBQ island here usually arrives with the patio, seat walls and lighting built around it.

The companies come at the work from very different starting points. Turf Monsters is an artificial turf company with offices in Phoenix and Prescott Valley that also lists built-in BBQs, outdoor kitchens, pergolas and fire pits. Diamond Stone & Synthetic Grass pairs synthetic grass with travertine, porcelain tile, stucco, Alumawood pergolas and outdoor kitchens. MasterAZscapes LLC, operating since 1986, builds pools as well as landscapes, and Straight Line Landscape lists ramadas, fireplaces, pools and spas beside its paver work. In all, 19 of the 64 also build pools.

Ongoing maintenance appears on 27 of these sites (42%) and commercial or HOA work on 28, so the crew that builds a kitchen may also offer to look after the yard around it. Landscape design plans are listed by 52 companies, artificial turf by 39, landscape lighting by 37 and irrigation by 35. If you want lights over the counter or a drip line to new planters beside the island, put it in the first request so every quote covers the same scope.
