Patio Grill Stations & Outdoor Kitchens in Central Pennsylvania
Custom-built for cooking, hosting, and everyday life in your backyard.
The Backyard That Keeps Everyone Outside Longer
A patio grill station keeps dinner outside instead of moving it back in: someone’s on the grill, someone else is setting the table, and nobody’s running inside for silverware because the kitchen is thirty feet away. A Plus Landscaping has designed and built backyard kitchens like this across Central Pennsylvania since 2006, family-owned from the start.
Add a pizza oven, a refrigerator, or a full outdoor kitchen next to the grill, and your patio pulls double duty for weeknight dinners and Saturday cookouts. Schedule an estimate to start planning yours.

What You Can Add to Your Outdoor Kitchen
Every outdoor kitchen starts from the same short list of core pieces, then gets built around what you actually cook and how many people you tend to feed.
- Grill stations: A built-in grill set into a stone or masonry counter. Right for you if you want the classic backyard cookout without dragging a freestanding grill in and out of the garage every season.
- Pizza ovens: Wood-fired or gas-fired, built for family pizza nights and casual entertaining. A yard with a pizza oven built in gets used more than one without.
- Refrigerators and ice makers: Keep your drinks and food outside during a party so you’re not running back inside every time someone wants a drink. Useful if you host often or if your kitchen sits far from the house.
- Countertops: Granite or similar stone, built for prep work and doubling as extra seating when your party grows.
- Grills and appliances: Power burners, warming drawers, and other grills and appliances so your outdoor kitchen can match the range of your indoor one.
How A Plus Designs and Builds Your Outdoor Kitchen
Every project starts with a site visit so that we can see your space, your grade, and how you actually use the yard before anything gets drawn up. From there, our design team lays out the kitchen around your appliances, your counter space, and how it connects to the rest of your backyard.
Larger builds get full 3D renderings before construction starts, so you can see the finished kitchen (and the patio or seating area around it) before a single stone is set. Once you approve the design, our certified crews handle construction from foundation to finish. That design-and-build process stays the same whether your project is a single grill station or a full outdoor kitchen.
One Contractor for Your Whole Backyard
Your outdoor kitchen rarely stands alone. It usually sits next to a seating area, a fire feature, or a stretch of paver patios that needs to be built at the same time. A Plus Landscaping designs and builds the entire space, so your kitchen, patio, and lighting work as one project rather than three separate contractors on three separate schedules.
One design-build team handles the project from site visit through construction, which matters most on larger jobs that touch multiple parts of the yard. We build these full backyard projects for homeowners in Lancaster, Harrisburg, Hershey, Mechanicsburg, Middletown, Reading, and throughout Central Pennsylvania.
Why A Plus
A Plus Landscaping has been building outdoor kitchens and full backyard projects in Central Pennsylvania since 2006, and it’s still family-owned. The same crew that designs your project also builds it, so nothing gets handed off between separate teams.
You’ll hear from a Design Professional within one to two business days of reaching out, and every project starts with an on-site consultation before you see a proposal. Larger backyard builds come with full 3D renderings, so you see the kitchen, the patio, and the rest of the space before construction starts. Financing through HFS Financial is available if you’d rather spread the cost over time.

Frequently Asked Questions About Patio Grill Stations and Outdoor Kitchens
What does A Plus Landscaping include in an outdoor kitchen build?
A base build for you typically includes the grill station or full appliance layout, countertops, and the surrounding structure. Refrigeration, pizza ovens, and additional appliances get added based on how you plan to use the space and how often you host.
What features can I add to a patio grill station or outdoor kitchen?
Common additions include pizza ovens, refrigerators, ice makers, granite countertops, power burners, and warming drawers. You can start with a grill station and counter space, then add appliances as your budget and design allow.
How much does an outdoor kitchen cost?
The size of your kitchen, the appliances you choose, and the materials for your counters and structure determine the final cost. A single grill station with basic counter space costs less than a full kitchen with a pizza oven, refrigeration, and a bar.
How long does an outdoor kitchen last, and what affects its durability?
Materials matter most. Stone and masonry construction, along with appliances built to handle outdoor conditions, hold up against Central Pennsylvania’s freeze-thaw cycles better than materials not designed for outdoor use. Regular use and basic seasonal care also affect how long your kitchen looks and performs.
Does A Plus Landscaping handle other backyard projects along with the outdoor kitchen?
Yes. Most outdoor kitchens get built as part of a larger outdoor living plan that includes a patio, a fire feature, or a lighting plan. A Plus manages all of it as one project rather than coordinating between separate contractors for your yard.
What makes A Plus Landscaping a trusted outdoor kitchen contractor in Central PA?
As an outdoor kitchen contractor serving Central Pennsylvania since 2006, A Plus handles your design through construction directly. We don’t subcontract out pieces of the build to separate teams.
We are open for new projects. Let's bring your creative ideas to life together!
