Elevate Your Outdoor Entertaining Experience
At Jim Savage Construction, we turn your backyard into a luxury destination. In Southern Utah, our climate allows for year-round outdoor living, making a custom concrete-based outdoor kitchen one of the best investments you can make for your home. We specialize in building "overbuilt" outdoor structures that won't warp, rot, or degrade under the intense St. George sun. From integrated grill islands to full-scale outdoor chef suites, we provide the masonry and concrete expertise to build a kitchen that is as durable as it is beautiful.
Our Outdoor Kitchen & Living Services
We offer end-to-end construction for outdoor culinary spaces, ensuring every element is heat-resistant, weather-proof, and designed for high-performance entertaining.
Custom Grill Islands and Bars
The centerpiece of any outdoor space is a precision-poured or stone-veneered grill island. We design and build custom layouts that accommodate professional-grade grills, side burners, and prep stations. Our islands are built with structural concrete cores to ensure they never shift or crack, providing a permanent fixture for your backyard.
Polished Concrete Countertops
For a modern, high-end look that can withstand the desert heat, we offer custom-poured concrete countertops. Unlike granite which can become searingly hot or tile which has grout lines that fail, our seamless polished concrete surfaces are easy to clean, UV-resistant, and can be customized with various stains and aggregates to match your home.
Pizza Ovens and Wood-Fired Hearth
Add a gourmet touch to your patio with a custom-built wood-fired pizza oven. We handle the specialized thermal masonry required to ensure safety and heat retention, finishing the exterior with concrete, stone, or stucco to create a stunning focal point for your outdoor gatherings.
Outdoor Refrigeration and Plumbing Integration
A true outdoor kitchen requires more than just a grill. We provide the structural framing and precision cut-outs for outdoor-rated refrigerators, ice makers, and sinks. We coordinate the "rough-in" process to ensure all plumbing and electrical lines are seamlessly integrated into the concrete structure for a clean, professional finish.
Fire Pits and Seating Walls
Complete your outdoor living room with integrated concrete seating and fire features. We build custom fire pits (gas or wood-burning) and matching seat walls that define the space and provide plenty of room for guests. By using concrete and masonry, we ensure these features are fire-safe and maintenance-free.
Weather-Resistant Finishes and Sealants
The Southern Utah sun is brutal on outdoor surfaces. We apply specialized high-heat sealants and UV-protective coatings to all our outdoor kitchen projects. This protects the color of your concrete and stone from fading and makes the surfaces resistant to food stains, grease, and oil.
