FAQ

Outdoor Living FAQ - Salt Lake City

  • What is included in an outdoor living space?

    An outdoor living space can include a paver patio, an outdoor kitchen or grilling station, a fire pit or fireplace, a pergola or shade structure, built-in seating, lighting, and surrounding planting. We design the mix around how you want to use your backyard.

  • How much does a covered patio or outdoor kitchen cost in Salt Lake City?

    Cost depends on size, materials, and features like gas lines, counters, and appliances. A simple paver patio is a smaller investment than a full outdoor kitchen. We provide a free, itemized estimate so you can build in phases if you prefer.

  • Can you build an outdoor kitchen that handles Utah winters?

    Yes. We build outdoor kitchens with freeze-resistant materials, proper drainage, and weather-rated appliances and counters, so they hold up through Salt Lake City's freeze-thaw cycles and snow.

  • Do fire pits and fireplaces need permits in Salt Lake City?

    Built-in gas fire features often require permits and proper gas-line work, while some portable units do not. We confirm the requirements for your design and handle any permitting and code compliance.

  • Can you combine decks, pergolas, patios, and planting into one project?

    Yes, and that is where outdoor living works best. We coordinate hardscape, structures like decks and pergolas, and landscaping into one design and build, so everything fits together and is finished on one schedule.
