RSU Contractors Deliver Backyard Creativity Plus Quality

Whether considering a free-standing or built-in fireplace, outdoor grill, a beautiful deck, or any other outdoor project, RSU Contractors owner Mark Williams says they can make it happen.

"We use superior craftsmanship and streamlined project management for outdoor projects. We're on-time, on-budget, stress-free, and we execute a build-to-last approach," says Mark.

An outdoor kitchen elevates the joy of backyards and open skies, while providing natural luxury all year long.

Outdoor kitchens and fire pits with sitting walls are hot trends this year, reflects Katie Petty, a design and remodeling consultant for RSU Contractors.

She says premium grill manufacturers, such as Fire Magic, offer a wide range of grills and accessories that are specifically made for performance, versatility and durability. "They even offer pre-fab, built-in grill stations, making it a breeze for customers," she adds.

For customers seeking a more personalized outdoor kitchen, Katie says they can custom-build one to almost any configuration, and finish it with beautiful stone and granite to fit everyone's needs perfectly. She says manufacturers, such as Belgard, make stone that RSU Contractors crews use to create custom fire pits and sitting walls.

Regarding new features being incorporated in outdoor kitchens, Katie says they are creating whole outdoor living spaces for customers far beyond just external kitchens to create functional usable spaces so everyone can better enjoy their backyards. She says these new spaces include covered, stamped concrete patios with outdoor kitchens that feature sinks, refrigerators and storage.

As outdoor experts, Katie says RSU Contractors' professionals help customers envision and develop their outdoor living spaces to meet their personal needs, while creating beautiful and functional spaces to use and enjoy.

"Functionality is the main factor that customers consider when thinking about an outdoor space," she concludes.

  1. Expand an outdoor entertainment area with tall shrubs for privacy and an intimate vibe, along with a calming, mobile water feature or actual fountain. Couple that with an outdoor fireplace or fire pit. 
  2. Punctuate an organized, outside grilling space with a swimming pool and wrap-around deck as a wonderful place to chill out; add plenty of comfortable lounge chairs. 
  3. Use colored gravel to frame concrete slabs for flooring in a space shaded by a dark, wood pergola and luscious green paradise of shrubs. 
  4. Invest in upscale appliances, regardless of the size of outdoor space, to increase the personal use of the space each time; examples:  an oven, a gas cooktop, a wine cooler, a griddle or a built-in smoker.
  5. Create bar-style seating, particularly around a kitchen island type of setup.
