Outdoor Kitchens Built for Everyday Living

An outdoor kitchen turns your backyard into the space where everyone actually wants to be — cooking, eating, and entertaining outside instead of being stuck indoors. Whether you’re adding a simple built-in grill station or a full kitchen with a countertop, sink, and seating area, a well-built outdoor kitchen extends your living space and gets used far more than most home upgrades.

At Velasco Landscaping Services, outdoor kitchen construction is one of our core specialties. As a C-27 Licensed Landscape Contractor (License #1132909), every project starts with a solid foundation — proper footings, correctly framed structures, and weather-resistant materials built to handle appliances, moisture, and daily use. From there we finish with countertops, veneer, and finishes that tie the whole space together with the rest of your yard.

Serving the Central Coast & Bay Area

We design and build outdoor kitchens for homeowners throughout Salinas, Monterey County, and the greater Central Coast and Bay Area. Every project gets the same attention to detail: correct structural framing, proper gas and electrical rough-in coordination, and finish work that looks clean and holds up outdoors. We work with you from the first consultation through final walkthrough, with clear communication in English and Spanish.

Built for Real Use, Not Just Looks

An outdoor kitchen needs to hold up to grease, heat, rain, and sun — not just look good on day one. We build with materials and construction methods suited to outdoor conditions, so your counters don’t crack, your structure doesn’t shift, and your kitchen still looks and functions great years down the line.

Every Project, Every Scale

Whether you need a simple grill island, a full kitchen with a bar and seating, or a complete outdoor living space combining a kitchen, patio, and fire feature, our crew brings the experience to design and build a space that fits how you actually use your yard.
