Santa Clara County, CA: Outdoor Kitchen, Low Maintenance

Taking time to plan, coordinate, and communicate with clients is key to project success, especially in a tight space. Grading considerations are critical for example, finish grades have to work to drain the patio away from the house, yet maintain a level finished island surface. Working with color and materials in the outdoors requires an understanding of the light available and uses. 'Easing' or rounding the stone edges on the island top allows for comfortable use as a bar top and counter.
