🧱 Project Spotlight: Huntington Outdoor Kitchen & Patio

In this custom residential project, MJG transformed a backyard into an entertainer’s dream:

  • We started by pouring a custom concrete foundation, ensuring structural stability for cabinetry, countertops, and appliance support.

  • Constructed brick walls using Danish brick and concrete block, crafted to match a client’s specific design aesthetic.

  • Installed granite countertops, creating a seamless prep and service space for a large Weber grill, sink, and under-counter refrigerator.

  • Finished with a hand-laid brick paver patio and fire pit, tying together warmth, texture, and outdoor functionality.

From foundation to fire pit, each element was delivered with attention to detail—minimizing disruption and maximizing impact.

Why Brick & Masonry Work Matters

  • Brickwork adds thermal mass and structural longevity, plus timeless character to outdoor installations.

  • Patios and fire pits built with brick or pavers support years of use and require little maintenance.

  • The right brick and mortar choices ensure durability against weather and use, while enhancing cohesive design throughout outdoor kitchens and lounge spaces.
