Quail West in Naples is an established community with a mix of older & new homes. The homeowner’s of this newly completed outdoor kitchen project had recently purchased the home as a resale and were doing some renovations. When they purchased the home there was an existing outdoor kitchen which they demo’ed to make room for their Elegant Outdoor Kitchen. In the photos, you will see there were still a couple of ongoing projects at the time of the summer kitchen completion. We look forward to seeing their new exterior wall color and brick paver lanai!

In addition to the outdoor kitchen, the customer had a unique request, which was a freestanding table/bar top area. The base is 29”x21”. There is a 13” overhang off all four sides of the table, allowing for plenty of leg room. We used the same stacked stone and granite that was used on the outdoor kitchen.

Given the small wall space, but the large extended lanai, the customer asked us to extend the edge of the outdoor kitchen beyond the wall to allow for more components. What we did was wrap the Silver Travertine stacked stone façade around the left and backside of the outdoor kitchen to finish the look. The customer’s went with an upgraded Delirium granite for the countertop and backsplash. While this granite is an upgrade, it actually looks a lot more expensive than it is!

A great feature for those who like to keep things neat and tidy is the Blaze narrow trash bin with a 42 quart trash receptacle. It rolls out for use of ease. The 34” Blaze Professional 3-burner grill puts out more BTU’s per burner than the Traditional Series grills, comes with the rotisserie kit and a crowd favorite are the lighted knobs which glow red. There are additional features to the Professional Series and we are happy to help you compare & contrast the two. To access the natural gas lines under the grill, we installed the 32” double access door. The homeowner was not done with the cooking components just yet and added the drop-in single side burner. Side burners are a great way to complete the meal and work really well for sautéing. The drop in burners don’t take up a whole lot of room and are especially good in cases where we start to run a little short on room. The final component installed was the Blaze 4.1 CU outdoor rated refrigerator.

It is said that in business you should turn your customers into raving fans. We were humbled to have received a referral from this customer before the job was even finished and look forward to sharing their friends completed outdoor kitchen with you in the near future.
