Service 02 · Built-In Entertaining

Not a grill you rolled out.
A kitchen you built for people.

Built-in grills, stone cabinetry, granite counters, sinks, cold storage, pizza ovens, bar seating. Designed to match the pool and hardscape so the whole backyard reads as one project — not a cart parked next to a patio.

The Problem

The last thing you need is another $800 cart on wheels next to a paver patio.

Nowhere for the guests

Everyone crowds the kitchen inside because there's no real counter or bar seating outside. You're hosting a party from the sink.

Cart grills age badly

Wheeled grills rust, scratch, rattle. Three years in, you're shopping for a new one — or staring at something that doesn't match anything.

Kitchen + pool don't match

An add-on kitchen looks like an add-on. Different stone, different grout, different height. The backyard feels assembled, not designed.

Our Approach

One stone choice. One designer. One build schedule.

We design the outdoor kitchen and the pool and the hardscape at the same time. Same stone palette, same counter height, same finish level. Appliances are built-in and chosen for the climate. Storage is sealed against weather. The whole backyard works as one environment.

1

Layout with the pool in mind

Prep station faces guests, not the pool equipment pad. Smoke vents away from dining. Bar seating lines up with the conversation zone.

2

Appliance spec for GA climate

Stainless that actually holds up in our humidity. Gas lines sized properly. Ventilation that doesn't get complaints from the neighbors.

3

Integrated into hardscape

Same stone as the pool surround, same grout, same height. Kitchen isn't sitting on top — it's part of the build.

4

Full electric, plumbing, gas

Pulled with the same permits as the pool. No second contractor relay.

FAQ

What homeowners ask about outdoor kitchens.

Is an outdoor kitchen worth it compared to a good grill?
If you entertain more than a few times a year, yes. Built-in kitchens let you cook while hosting instead of running between the house and the deck. Most clients tell us it changed how they use the backyard — more dinners out, fewer 'quick cookouts.'
How much does an outdoor kitchen cost at RutherfordMade?
Typical outdoor kitchen projects run $25,000 to $60,000 depending on appliance package, counter material, and size. Larger builds with pizza ovens, refrigeration, and full bars go higher. We quote the exact number after the design consultation.
Can you build an outdoor kitchen separate from a pool project?
Yes, though most of our clients bundle it. Standalone outdoor kitchens are faster to build (usually 3-5 weeks) and give you the option of adding the pool later with matching stone and finishes.
What appliances do you recommend?
Scott spec's appliances based on how you actually cook. High-grade built-in grills are the anchor. Add side burners, pizza ovens, or refrigeration based on your habits — not a package upsell.
Will it last in Georgia weather?
Yes — that's why we don't use off-the-shelf cart grills and box-store cabinetry. Stainless steel chosen for humidity, stone sealed appropriately, appliances weatherproofed. One-year worry-free service guarantee covers it all.
