"Working with Chuck and Jose has been awesome. We started our journey by having a pool installed in our back yard by Leesure Pools. We then had a landscape architect draw plans for both back and front yard incorporating the pool. This allowed us to get landscaper quotes using the same drawing. Lifescapes Landscpaping was selected. Working with Chuck and Jose yielded a great surprise. Chuck took our two dimensional drawings (that cost $800) and turned it into 3 dimensional PDF (at no cost to us before we even selected them). This sold us and we saw problems with the $800 paper design that we didn't see before. The landscape elements that Chuck and Jose did are as follows: Concrete walkway/driveway Brick patio/walkway indoor fire place Stucco whole house Gravel Custom Pergola with swing Custom fencing with gates Custom porch T&G ceiling Custom Corbels Metal roof Light fixtures Lanscape lights Grass lawn Sprinklers and drip Landscape plants. Painting This company did anything we threw at them and at a reasonable price. They stayed within budget and put features in that would have cost more. Jose was very patient with our design demands. Jose used pictures given to him of porch covers an pergolas to bring Chucks 3D drawings to life. The results are everything we hoped for. Well done guys!!!"

FAQs for outdoor kitchen building service projects in Placitas, NM
Most outdoor kitchen pros finish the actual build in four to six weeks. That window covers framing, flooring, utilities, and appliance installation. Your timeline may stretch if the site needs extra prep, special-order materials, or you hit a busy season for contractors. Remember, planning, permits, and design meetings happen before the clock starts, so budget extra time for those steps.
In cold or wet climates, winterizing is worth the effort. Seal countertops, drain water lines, cover appliances, and ensure that cabinets and fixtures are constructed from weather-resistant materials, such as granite or stainless steel. Adding a roof or pergola helps protect surfaces from snow, rain, and UV rays. A few preventative steps each fall can keep repairs and frustration to a minimum come spring.
Yes—placing the kitchen against the house makes hooking up gas, water, and power simpler and cheaper. Keep anything that emits open flames—such as grills, griddles, and pizza ovens—at least 10 feet away from siding or other combustible materials. Check local fire codes before finalizing the layout so you stay safe and compliant.
You’ll need weather-rated outlets for appliances such as blenders, refrigerators, and lights. Ensure that every receptacle is GFCI-protected to shut off power quickly if moisture seeps in—a code requirement in most areas. A licensed electrician can run wiring, install the boxes, and add covers that stand up to sun and rain.
