Cook outside. Live out there.

A well-planned outdoor kitchen turns the pool deck into the place everyone naturally gathers. Aquarius helps coordinate the cooking zone, utilities, hardscape, seating, shade, lighting, and the rest of the backyard as one complete plan.

Can Aquarius plan an outdoor kitchen with a new pool?

Yes. Planning the pool, kitchen, patio, utilities, drainage, seating, and circulation together is usually the cleanest way to protect the finished result and avoid expensive rework.

Can an outdoor kitchen be part of an existing backyard?

Often, yes. Existing patio structure, grades, access, drainage, utility capacity, clearances, and local requirements must be reviewed before the appropriate scope can be confirmed.

Which appliances can be included?

Common requests include built-in grills, side burners, refrigerators, beverage centers, sinks, ice storage, trash pullouts, drawers, and access doors. Exact brands and models depend on availability, project requirements, and the selections Aquarius can source or coordinate.

What materials work around an outdoor kitchen?

Options may include masonry or manufactured cabinet systems, outdoor-rated counters, concrete, pavers, natural stone, porcelain, and complementary wall or cap materials. Selection should consider freeze-thaw exposure, heat, staining, maintenance, slip resistance, and the architecture of the home.

Do gas, electric, and plumbing need to be planned before the patio?

Yes. Utility routes, circuits, shutoffs, drainage, sleeves, clearances, winterization, and future access should be coordinated before finished surfaces and fixed structures are installed.

Are the projects in these photographs built by Aquarius?
