Homestead & South Dade
Outdoor Living Spaces in Homestead, FL
South Florida gives you most of the year outside, if the space is built for it. Greene & Stone Outdoor designs and builds outdoor kitchens, pergolas, and fire features that turn an unused backyard into a second living room, with shade, function, and finish that hold up to the climate.
The real problem
The Backyard You Have Versus the One You Use
A lot of backyards look fine and still sit empty, because there is nowhere comfortable to cook, gather, or get out of the sun. An outdoor living space solves that with shade, a real cooking setup, and seating that invites people to stay. Designed as one project, the kitchen, the cover, and the lighting work together instead of competing for the same patch of patio.
- “The backyard looks okay but we never actually use it.”
- “It is too hot and exposed to sit out during the day.”
- “I want to cook and entertain outside, not just grill on a cart.”
- “I want a covered space that survives storm season.”
- “I do not want a pile of separate add-ons that do not match.”
- “The outdoor kitchen I looked at rusted through in three seasons of salt air.”
What you get
What an Outdoor Living Build Includes
- Outdoor kitchens. Built-in grills, counters, and storage in weatherproof materials, so the cooking space holds up outdoors year after year.
- Pergolas and shade structures. Engineered cover that makes the space usable in the heat and anchored for South Florida wind.
- Fire features. Fire pits and fireplaces that extend the evening and give the space a center.
- Coordinated utilities. Gas, water, and power are planned into the build, so nothing is improvised or unsafe.
- Integrated lighting. Layered lighting keeps the space usable after dark and safe to move through.
- Paving and seating that ties in. The hardscape and layout are designed with the rest of the yard, so it reads as one space.
Part of a larger plan
Most projects combine more than one of these. The pieces are designed together so they work as one finished space.
From first sketch to final stone
How the Project Comes Together
- 1
Site Visit and Consultation
You walk the property with us and tell us how you want to use the space. We look at the soil, drainage, sun, and existing features, then talk through a realistic budget before anyone draws a line.
- 2
Design and Proposal
You get a design and a clear, itemized proposal for the whole project, not a vague range. Nothing is ordered or scheduled until you approve both the plan and the price.
- 3
Construction and Build
One team handles the work in the right sequence, coordinating the licensed crews who build it. You have a single point of contact for the entire project, so questions get answered the same day.
- 4
Walkthrough and Finish
You walk the finished space with us, and it is not done until you say it is. You leave with care guidance and a clear picture of how everything was built.
What it costs
What Drives the Number
A single fire feature or compact kitchen sits at one end of the range, and a fully equipped outdoor room with cover and utilities sits well above it. Every project ends in an itemized proposal after a free site visit, so you are never working from a guess.

Common Questions from Homestead Property Owners
What goes into an outdoor kitchen?
Usually a built-in grill, counter space, storage, and often a sink or refrigerator, all in materials rated for the outdoors. We size it to how you actually cook and entertain.
Will a pergola hold up to hurricanes?
Shade structures are engineered and anchored for South Florida wind. We build to code so the cover is an asset, not a liability, in a storm.
Can you add an outdoor living space to my existing patio?
Often, yes, provided the existing slab or base can support it. We assess that first and tell you what is workable.
Do you handle the gas and electrical?
Those are coordinated through licensed professionals as part of the build, so the utilities are installed safely and to code.
How much does an outdoor kitchen cost?
It depends on size and finishes, so you get an itemized proposal after a site visit. Single features start at the range on the pricing page and full outdoor living builds generally begin around the range on the pricing page.
What ruins an outdoor kitchen fastest in South Florida?
Salt air on the wrong metal and water sitting inside an unsealed cabinet. Marine-grade stainless, sealed masonry, and a counter pitched to shed water are what separate a kitchen that lasts from one that gets replaced.
