Outdoor Kitchens Built for Entertaining in Southwest Wisconsin
Four Seasons Landscaping designs and builds outdoor kitchens with built-in grills, stone countertops, and integrated storage — for homeowners in Platteville, WI who take entertaining seriously.
Outdoor Kitchens That Work as Hard as Your Indoor Kitchen
An outdoor kitchen is the ultimate patio upgrade — it anchors your outdoor living space, eliminates the in-and-out trip between house and yard, and makes cooking for a crowd genuinely enjoyable. Four Seasons designs and builds outdoor kitchen structures as part of a complete hardscape project, integrating the kitchen with your patio, pergola, and fire feature into a cohesive outdoor living area.
We build the kitchen structure — the masonry base, countertop, side burner cutouts, storage doors, and refrigerator openings — using weatherproof materials appropriate for Wisconsin's climate. The appliances themselves (built-in grills, burners, refrigerators) are customer-selected or purchased through our supplier relationships. Gas line rough-in is coordinated with a licensed plumber.
Whether you're looking for a simple built-in grill station with a prep counter or a fully equipped outdoor kitchen with multiple cooking zones, refrigeration, and a bar top, we'll design something that fits your entertaining style and your budget.

Our Process
Design Consultation
We talk through how you cook and entertain, what appliances you want, and how the kitchen integrates with your patio and home. 3D renderings help you visualize the finished layout.
Appliance Planning
We help you select built-in appliances that fit the design — grills, burners, refrigerators, ice makers — and spec out the utility rough-in requirements.
Construction
We build the masonry base, install countertops, and frame appliance openings. Gas and electrical rough-in is coordinated with licensed trades.
Appliance Installation & Finish
Appliances are set, connections made, and we walk through operation and care before the project is complete.
FAQ — Outdoor Kitchens & Built-In Grills
Yes — if it's built correctly. We use masonry block bases with weatherproof stucco or stone veneer, and we spec countertop materials (granite, porcelain) that handle freeze-thaw without cracking. Built-in grills and appliances should be covered with quality covers during extended winter storage. Gas lines should be shut off at the source during the off-season. The structure itself is built to be permanent.
We can provide guidance on appliance selection and help coordinate purchasing, but most clients supply their own appliances — either purchasing through our supplier relationships or directly from an appliance retailer. This gives you full control over brand and model selection. We handle all the masonry and construction; appliance installation and utility connections are coordinated accordingly.
Outdoor kitchen construction typically takes 3–7 days for the masonry work, depending on complexity. If the project includes a new patio, retaining walls, or other hardscape, the full project may take 1–3 weeks. Gas line and electrical rough-in is scheduled with licensed trades and may add a few days to the timeline. We'll give you a realistic schedule during the estimate phase.
An outdoor kitchen with gas connections and electrical outlets typically requires a permit — the gas and electrical work will need inspections regardless. The masonry structure itself may or may not require a permit depending on local codes. We advise on permit requirements during the design phase and can assist with documentation.
Often yes — if your patio has sufficient space and the layout allows for a kitchen zone, we can add an outdoor kitchen structure without rebuilding the entire patio. We'll evaluate the existing patio, plan the kitchen layout, and handle all construction. If the patio needs to be expanded to accommodate the kitchen, we can do that as part of the same project.
