Outdoor Kitchens
Outdoor kitchens turn a backyard into the place everyone wants to be. Del Conte’s M&H Landscape Construction designs and builds custom outdoor kitchens for homes in San Mateo, Hillsborough, Palo Alto and across the Peninsula, integrated with the patio, fire features and lighting around them.

Planned as part of the whole outdoor space
An outdoor kitchen works best when it is close to the house, connected to dining and lounge areas, and positioned for good airflow and views. We design the kitchen together with the surrounding hardscape so traffic flows naturally and the cook stays part of the conversation.
Built with durable materials
Outdoor kitchens face sun, rain and temperature swings. We use durable masonry, stone and weather-appropriate materials, and we plan utilities and drainage before construction so the kitchen performs reliably for years.
What to Expect When You Work With Us
- Consultation: we walk the property with you, listen to your goals and assess slopes, drainage, sun and existing trees.
- Design: our designer develops a plan for layout, hardscape, planting, irrigation, drainage and lighting.
- Construction: our in-house crew builds the project, and your designer stays involved through completion.
- Ongoing care: our residential maintenance program keeps the landscape performing, with irrigation and lighting audits three times a year.
Because we handle design and construction in-house, outdoor kitchens can be planned together with the rest of your landscape, including grading, drainage, irrigation and lighting, so everything is installed once and installed correctly. Since 1972, Del Conte’s M&H has focused on high-end residential work, and our long-time managers bring decades of experience to every project.

We provide outdoor kitchens for homeowners in Hillsborough, San Mateo, Burlingame, Belmont, Redwood City, Palo Alto, Menlo Park, Los Altos, Los Altos Hills. As a full-service landscape construction company, we can also combine this work with the rest of your landscape, so every element is planned and built together.
