Frequently asked

Outdoor Kitchens — questions, answered.

The questions our designers hear most often on a free design consultation. Have one not on the list? Call us at (800) 942-1955.

  • Why should I use Black Diamond?
    Expert project installation with a FREE Basic Digital Design. Best prices for highest-quality work. 27-year warranty on concrete paver installation and lifetime manufacturer warranty on concrete pavers. A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau. Fully licensed (CA #841042) and insured. Honest, trustworthy, and 100% committed to customer satisfaction — backed by numerous certifications, awards, and thousands of 5-star reviews.
  • What is the average cost to build an outdoor kitchen?
    Black Diamond's minimum installation requirement is around the size of a two-car driveway, or 250 sq ft, with the project minimum being around $6,500. On average, our full-service outdoor-kitchen installation costs vary depending on project scope, size, materials (like pavers and natural stones), and the complexity of the design.
  • How do I plan my outdoor kitchen?
    With Black Diamond, we help you design a custom outdoor kitchen with a BBQ grill, pizza oven, refrigerator, and more using our Free Basic Digital Design. This lets you see every element of your outdoor-kitchen installation, and makes it easy to modify or change anything you want — including countertop, color, equipment — before anything gets installed.
  • What is the best material for an outdoor kitchen?
    Using stucco or natural stones for your full-service outdoor kitchen is the best choice over other materials. Not only can you match the natural stones or stucco with your house, using stucco or natural stones for your outdoor kitchen offers longer-lasting durability and makes any repair easy.
  • Does an outdoor kitchen add value to a home?
    A full-scale outdoor kitchen built with natural stones increases a home's value through increased durability, low maintenance, and a build-to-last finish — which means a new homeowner doesn't have to spend extra funds on upgrading or maintaining a kitchen made of wood or concrete.
  • Do you handle gas, electrical, and plumbing connections?
    Yes. Our team handles every aspect of the installation process — from laying the paver-stone base to running gas, electrical, and water lines for your grill, refrigerator, ice maker, and sink. You get one crew, one contract, and one finished project.
