Why Outdoor Kitchens Are Perfect for Southern Oregon Living
Living in Medford means enjoying some of Oregon’s most beautiful weather, with warm, dry summers that are ideal for outdoor entertaining. When temperatures soar to 100 degrees and beyond, why heat up your indoor kitchen when you can create delicious meals in your own backyard oasis?
An expertly designed outdoor kitchen extends your living space, reduces indoor heat buildup during those scorching summer months, and transforms everyday cooking into an experience that connects you with nature. Whether you’re grilling for family dinners or hosting weekend gatherings, an outdoor kitchen makes the most of Southern Oregon’s gorgeous climate.

Using professional design software, including AI visualization tools, we create detailed plans that show exactly how your outdoor kitchen will look and function. You’ll see your vision come to life before construction begins.

Comprehensive Project Management
We coordinate all aspects of construction, working with licensed professionals for plumbing and electrical work while handling all hardscape construction, installation, and finishing work ourselves.

Our skilled craftsmen handle everything from foundation work and utility installation to final appliance setup and testing. We ensure every detail meets our high standards for quality and durability.
Climate Considerations for Southern Oregon
Medford’s unique climate – with hot, dry summers and mild winters – creates specific opportunities and challenges for outdoor kitchen design:
Summer Benefits
Long stretches without rain mean maximum use of your outdoor space from late spring through early fall. Cooking outdoors keeps your home cooler and reduces energy costs.
Year-Round Design
We design outdoor kitchens that can be enjoyed even during milder winter months, with options for weather protection and easy winterization of water features.
Material Selection
We use materials specifically chosen to withstand temperature extremes, UV exposure, and occasional winter freezes.
Investment and Value
An outdoor kitchen is more than a luxury – it’s an investment in your lifestyle and property value. In the Medford area’s competitive real estate market, outdoor living spaces are increasingly sought after by buyers who understand the value of extending living space into Southern Oregon’s beautiful outdoors.
Our sustainable design approach means your outdoor kitchen will look beautiful and function perfectly for decades, with minimal maintenance required.
Working With Trades and Utilities
While we handle all hardscape construction, countertop installation, and appliance setup, certain specialized work requires licensed professionals:
Electrical Work
We coordinate with licensed electricians for all electrical connections, outlets, and lighting circuits.
Plumbing
Licensed plumbers handle gas lines, water supply, and drainage connections.
We Can Coordinate
We’re happy to work with contractors we recommend, or we can collaborate with professionals you choose.
