Outdoor Kitchens Designed for Cooking, Entertaining, and Comfort
Serving McKinney & Surrounding Areas
Design That Elevates Every Backyard
Tailored layouts, materials, and amenities
At Summerwood Backyards, every outdoor kitchen begins with a thoughtful plan that balances cooking performance, traffic flow, and comfort. We map out prep, cook, serve, and socialize zones; maintain safe clearances around heat; integrate shade and ventilation; and align sightlines so the chef stays part of the conversation. From intimate grill islands to expansive U‑shaped kitchens with bar seating, our designs make entertaining effortless.
Your space is personalized with durable, beautiful finishes and the right tools. Choose from masonry or modular cabinetry, stone or porcelain cladding, and counters such as granite, quartzite, or high‑performance concrete. We specify premium grills, side burners, smokers, pizza ovens, refrigeration, sinks, and storage, plus task and ambient lighting, audio, and smart controls—all selected to match how you cook and host.
Built for durability, safety, and year‑round use
Our structures start with proper footings or reinforced slabs, moisture barriers, and steel‑tied masonry or powder‑coated aluminum frames. We use non‑combustible substrates, heat shields, and ventilation panels near appliances, and we detail waterproofing, sealing, and expansion joints to handle temperature swings. Electrical is weather‑rated with in‑use covers and GFCI protection; gas lines include accessible shutoffs and regulators.
Every build follows published manufacturer specs and applicable codes for clearances, venting, bonding, and grounding. We slope counters and floors for drainage, specify corrosion‑resistant fasteners, and select UV‑stable finishes that stand up to sun, grease, and moisture. The result is a kitchen that looks spectacular on day one and keeps performing season after season—with warranties and service to back it up.
Transparent steps, timelines, and communication
Discovery and design begin with a consultation, site assessment, and precise measurements. You’ll receive 3D renderings, a detailed plan set, appliance specifications, and value‑engineered options to maximize features within your budget. We refine selections and layout until the function and look are perfect.
Pre‑construction includes HOA coordination if needed, permit documentation, and utility locates. Our crews handle trenching and rough‑ins, slab or footings, framing and masonry, countertop templating and installation, and final appliance set‑up with gas and electrical connections. We maintain a clean site and provide regular progress updates.
On completion, we walk you through operation and care, provide a maintenance checklist and sealing schedule, and register warranties. You’ll get a starter care kit and our contact for future upgrades—whether you add a pergola, kegerator, or a secondary cook station later on.
