Outdoor Kitchens
Where Food, Family, and Fresh Air Come Together
Luxury Outdoor Kitchen Design in the Brainerd Lakes
Evenings at the lake should feel effortless. Dinner sizzling on the grill, friends laughing nearby, kids grabbing drinks without running inside. With a Yardcreations outdoor kitchen, cooking becomes part of the fun instead of pulling you away from it. We design spaces that keep everyone together so the best moments happen right where they should: outside.
Make Cooking Part of the Party
A Dash of Smoke, A Lot of Laughter
Too many outdoor kitchens look good in photos but fall short in real life. The grill sits in the corner. No counter space. No storage. No lighting when the sun goes down. Cooking turns into running back inside instead of staying with the party.
We design outdoor kitchens as part of a complete outdoor living plan so everything works together. From chef-inspired layouts with pizza ovens and bar seating to simple setups for family dinners after a day on the lake, every detail starts with how you live.
Designed for Real Culinary Living
The best kitchens make it easy to cook, serve, and celebrate without the stress. That’s why we focus on the details that turn a basic setup into a true culinary destination:
Built-in grill stations sized for everything from weeknight dinners to weekend parties
Outdoor-rated refrigeration for drinks, fresh ingredients, and easy hosting
Pizza ovens and smokers for wood-fired flavor and weekend feasts
Ample counter space for prepping, plating, and serving without crowding
Bar seating and serving stations so friends and family stay close while you cook
Storage for cookware, utensils, and spices so you’re never running inside for supplies
Integrated lighting from FX Luminaire to keep the mood and the conversation going after dark
Durable, weather-tested materials from Unilock, Belgard, and Techo-Bloc so your kitchen lasts through Minnesota winters and countless summers
Layouts that flow naturally between cooking, dining, and lounging spaces
Why Homeowners Trust Yardcreations
For every complete outdoor living project, you’ll see the entire space in 3D before construction begins. You’ll know the budget and timeline upfront, with no surprises along the way. We keep you updated as everything comes together, and when it’s finished, you’ll have a space built by certified crews with decades of experience — one designed to last through every season in the Brainerd Lakes.
“Adam and his crew did a fantastic job landscaping for our new house.
We have had many compliments with our thick grass. Also with our tree selections and especially their perennial flower selections. Our three tier water fountain far exceeded our expectations.”

Evenings That Taste Better Outdoors
The grill sizzles while guests gather around the bar seating. Kids grab drinks without tracking through the house. Plates hit the counter just as the lights come on and the fire starts to crackle. No rushing. No running inside. Just one space that keeps everyone together.
Every outdoor kitchen we build is part of a complete outdoor living design. From patios and fire features to lighting and landscaping, we plan the entire space so everything works together beautifully.
