Custom Outdoor Kitchens & Dining Spaces Built for Year-Round Entertaining

Southern California living is all about sunshine, fresh air, and unforgettable gatherings. That’s why more homeowners from La Jolla to Carlsbad are transforming their backyards into full-scale entertainment destinations—starting with custom outdoor kitchens and dining spaces

designed for comfort, convenience, and year-round use.

At Ultrascape Construction, we’ve been building luxury outdoor living spaces for over 40 years. Whether you dream of grilling by the pool in Solana Beach or sipping wine under a pergola in Rancho Santa Fe, we deliver high-performance, high-style solutions tailored to your lifestyle.

Let’s explore how an outdoor kitchen can become the heart of your home.

Why Build an Outdoor Kitchen?

Outdoor kitchens are more than a luxury—they’re a lifestyle investment. Especially in areas like Encinitas, Carmel Valley, and Del Mar where the weather practically demands al fresco living.

Here’s what you gain with a custom outdoor kitchen:

- Entertain with ease – Cook and serve without running back and forth inside.

- Expand your living space – Create a natural extension of your home outdoors.

- Boost your property value – Outdoor kitchens offer a high ROI in upscale markets.

- Enjoy the outdoors year-round – Add heating, fans, and shade for all-season comfort.

- Elevate everyday moments – From Sunday brunches to weeknight grilling.

At Ultrascape Construction, every design begins with a conversation about how you live—and how we can make your outdoor space work even harder for you.

Custom Features That Make a Difference

No two families entertain the same way, so we design fully customized kitchen and dining environments with features like:

- Built-in Grills & Smokers – Top-tier brands, integrated into sleek stone islands.

- Pizza Ovens – Wood-fired or gas, for a touch of Italy right in Rancho Santa Fe.

- Side Burners & Warming Drawers – Cook multiple dishes at once.

- Beverage Centers – Icemakers, fridges, wine coolers, and wet bars.

- Outdoor Sinks & Prep Areas – Handle everything without stepping inside.

- Cabinetry & Storage – Weatherproof and stylish for utensils, spices, and serveware.

- Countertops – From polished concrete to granite or quartzite, built to last.

- Shade Structures – Pergolas, trellises, or cantilevered roofs for comfort and style.

We’ll even integrate smart technology —from built-in Bluetooth speakers to lighting and appliances you can control from your phone.

Designing for Flow & Function

A great outdoor kitchen isn’t just packed with features—it’s thoughtfully planned. Our team creates smooth transitions from indoor to outdoor, blending hardscape with greenery and dining areas with open zones for gathering.

We design with your site’s natural layout in mind, paying attention to:

- Wind direction – Keep smoke out of seating areas.

- Sun path – Maximize shade and natural light.

- Proximity to indoor kitchen – For efficiency and convenience.

- Dining & lounging zones – Create a full outdoor living experience.

- Integration with pools, spas, or fire features – For a seamless backyard retreat.

Whether you’re nestled into the hills of Torrey Pines or perched oceanside in Cardiff, we make every square foot work in harmony.

The Ultimate Dining Experience

Our outdoor kitchens pair perfectly with elevated dining spaces —no folding chairs or picnic tables here. We build:

- Custom dining patios

- Elegant paver or flagstone surfaces

- Integrated outdoor lighting

- Ceiling fans and radiant heaters

- Surround sound and entertainment zones

This is about more than meals—it’s about crafting an atmosphere. One where you can laugh with friends over cocktails, watch the game under the stars, or host family holidays in the open air.

And in homes from Olivenhain to La Costa, we’ve seen it time and time again: once the kitchen and dining zone go outside, life naturally follows.

Seamless Indoor-Outdoor Living

One of our specialties at Ultrascape Construction is seamless integration between indoor and outdoor spaces. We match materials, align layout lines, and extend architectural features so your new kitchen feels like it’s always been part of your home.

Want stacking glass doors, matching tile floors, or a continuation of your kitchen backsplash? We’ve got it covered.

We also design around your existing pool, patio, garden, or fire feature, so everything works together beautifully.

Full-Service Installation from Concept to Cookout

We don’t just design—we build. From the first sketch to the final light bulb, our experienced team handles:

✔ Design consultation & 3D renderings

✔ Electrical, gas, and plumbing infrastructure

✔ Construction & finish carpentry

✔ Appliance selection & installation

✔ Lighting, fans, and audio systems

✔ Final landscaping touches

Everything is fully turnkey and custom to your needs—whether you want an intimate grilling nook in Leucadia or a full chef’s setup in Fairbanks Ranch.
