Why Utah Homeowners Choose A&E for Outdoor Kitchens
An outdoor kitchen is the most complex hardscape project you can build — it involves structural construction, gas lines, electrical, plumbing, countertop fabrication, appliance installation, and finishing work that all have to come together perfectly. Most landscaping companies can't build outdoor kitchens. Most concrete contractors can't coordinate the appliances and gas lines. A&E is a licensed B-100 General Contractor that handles every trade involved in an outdoor kitchen build — which is why Park City and Cedar City homeowners trust us with their highest-ticket backyard projects.

We handle all required building permits and coordinate with gas and plumbing contractors for utility rough-in work. All utility connections are permitted and inspected before we proceed to the structural build.
