Central Coast Landscaping
Outdoor living in Los Osos turns a backyard into the most-used room of the house — a custom gas fire pit for cool coastal evenings, an outdoor kitchen and a patio built for gathering. Kestrel Landscapes designs and builds outdoor living spaces across SLO County on the same drained, engineered bases as our hardscape, with gas and electrical done to code.
The Central Coast climate is practically built for outdoor living — cool evenings that a fire pit makes perfect, mild days that beg for an outdoor kitchen and a real gathering space. Done well, an outdoor room becomes the most-used part of the house and the backdrop for years of family memories.
Kestrel Landscapes designs and builds custom outdoor living spaces in Los Osos and across SLO County — gas fire pits, outdoor kitchens, patios, seat walls and lighting — integrated with the surrounding landscape and built on the same properly drained, engineered bases as our hardscape so they last.
Homeowners come to us wanting:
Built-in and freestanding gas fire pits in stone, block and concrete, sized and placed for the way you gather — the centerpiece that makes a patio usable on cool Central Coast nights.
Full outdoor kitchens and BBQ islands with counters, storage, and the utilities run properly — so entertaining moves outside and stays there.
The room around the features: paver or stone patios, seat and garden walls for built-in seating and structure, and landscape lighting that carries the space into the evening.
We plan the layout around how you'll gather — fire, cooking, seating and flow — and the site's conditions.
We build a drained, engineered base and rough in gas, electrical and water as the design needs.
Fire pit, kitchen, walls and patio go in with quality materials and clean detailing.
Landscape lighting and surrounding planting tie the room into the yard.
We commission the features and walk you through operation and care.

Outdoor living projects range widely — a fire pit and patio, or a full kitchen with utilities and lighting. They're priced by the features, materials and the base and utility work behind them; the finishes you see sit on infrastructure you don't.
Note: Gas and electrical work is done to code with the proper trades — outdoor living should be beautiful and safe.
Fire pit, kitchen, patio, seat walls, lighting and planting integrated into a single cohesive space, not a disconnected feature dropped in a yard.
Drained, engineered bases and proper gas, electrical and water rough-in — the parts you don't see that determine whether the parts you do see last.
Utility work is completed with the proper licensed trades so your outdoor room is as safe as it is beautiful.
Gas fire pits and covered features designed for cool, foggy Central Coast evenings and air-quality-friendly use.
It ranges from a modest BBQ island to a full kitchen with counters, appliances and utilities — the utility rough-in and base often cost as much as the finishes. We scope it from your wish list and site so the estimate is real, not a guess.
Most of our clients choose gas — instant, clean, easy to control, and friendlier to air-quality and fire rules than wood. We build custom gas fire pits sized and placed for your patio; we'll talk through the tradeoffs for your site.
That's the point of a design-build. We integrate the patio, fire pit, kitchen, walls, lighting and planting into one cohesive space rather than dropping in a disconnected feature.
Yes — utility work is done to code with the proper licensed trades as part of the build, so your outdoor room is safe as well as beautiful.
Gas, electrical and some structural work is done to code with the proper licensed trades, and larger features can require permits — we handle that as part of the build. Gas fire pits and kitchens are typically plumbed to a natural-gas line or propane; we'll lay out the utility work clearly in your scope.
We're based in Los Osos and bring outdoor living to homeowners across the Central Coast — the back-bay and coastal towns of Los Osos, Morro Bay and Cayucos, the city of San Luis Obispo, the Five Cities, and the North County wine country around Paso Robles.
