Bluestone and Natural Stone for your Greenwich, Fairfield, CT Outdoor Kitchen

Natural Stone, Bluestone, Greenwich, Fairfield, CT

Whether it’s an ordinary weeknight or a holiday celebration, the kitchen is almost always the heart of the home. This is the place where people gather to enjoy good food and great conversation. For homeowners who love to entertain outdoors, a beautiful outdoor kitchen offers some serious benefits. Forget running in and out to prepare food while you miss all the fun going on outside. With an outdoor kitchen, you can prepare meals outdoors while you socialize with friends.
Building an outdoor kitchen is a major project, but it’s well worth it in the end. The most challenging aspect will be choosing materials that are both beautiful and durable. Outdoor kitchens have to withstand a lot of wear and tear, both from regular use and exposure to the elements. That’s why many homeowners in Greenwich, CT and Fairfield County, CT opt to use bluestone and natural stone in their outdoor kitchen designs. Here are a few ways that you can use these beautiful materials in an outdoor cooking space.

Built-In Grill

The backyard barbecue is practically an American staple. Incorporate the grill by building a custom space for it with natural stone. The grill island can be built from natural stone in a variety of colors and shapes, depending on the look desired. This also gives the homeowner a chance to add countertops for work space and storage cabinets at the base, all carefully surrounded with the subtle colors and textures of natural stone. For the accompanying patio stone, consider Natural Stone by Unilock. With a Lifetime Guarantee and numerous advantages over traditional Bluestone, Unilock’s advances are sure to make your project a success.

Outdoor Kitchen Countertops

Bluestone is the perfect choice for outdoor kitchen countertops. This is a durable material that will hold up to years of wear and tear. Whether you’re prepping dinner for a big family reunion or a romantic night for two, having an outdoor countertop space will save you from running in and out a dozen times while your food is cooking on the grill. Bluestone offers an elegant finish that has just enough rustic appeal to be perfect in an outdoor cooking space for your Fairfield, CT home.

Outdoor Fireplace

Step up the wow factor in the area surrounding your outdoor kitchen by including an outdoor fireplace. This is the perfect place to cozy up and enjoy dinner by the fire on a cool autumn night in Greenwich, CT. Building a fireplace out of Unilock’s Rivercrest Wall guarantees durability and long-lasting colors, with the feel of natural stone. From small fire pits to large, freestanding fireplaces with formal mantels, both natural stone like fieldstone and Unilock’s retaining walls are go-to materials for outdoor fireplaces.

Stone Retaining Walls

Add a subtle separation between the outdoor kitchen and the yard by building a stone wall around the perimeter. This provides another way to incorporate the beautiful textures of stone into the kitchen design, plus it is functional in keeping kids and pets confined to a single space. Stone walls can also be useful if the property has a sloping elevation. Build up a low spot by bringing in additional soil and add a retaining wall to insure that rain doesn’t wash the new dirt away. Fieldstone is a beautiful choice for a wall that is both durable and beautiful in an outdoor living space. Pair up your natural stone walls with Unilock’s products for your patio. Natural Stone by Unilock will offer performance and quality not found in traditionally sourced bluestone.

Outdoor kitchens are a major trend in Connecticut this year, with each homeowner adding a unique spin on the idea. Whether you’re envisioning a simple built in barbecue or an elaborate outdoor kitchen complete with a freestanding fireplace and dining table, incorporate natural stone for maximum durability and beauty.
