Why choose us

Built for Sydney's Climate

Outdoor kitchens from FDSS Landscaping are specified for Sydney's UV, heat and seasonal downpours. Components are selected for coastal air, with powder coated aluminium cabinetry, marine grade hardware and porcelain or sintered stone benchtops that resist swelling, rust and fading. We detail ventilation, gas and electrical coordination, drainage and falls, so appliances run safely, and finishes stay stable through summer storms and cool changes. Smart sealing, stainless fixings and UV stable adhesives reduce upkeep, helping your alfresco look sharp year after year. From shaded CBD courtyards to open North St Marys backyards, each build is tailored to site exposure, use and budget for reliable performance and easy cleaning.

Materials That Last Outdoors

Choose materials that handle Sydney UV, heat, rain and coastal air. Porcelain or sintered stone benchtops deliver high heat and stain resistance with minimal upkeep. Powder coated aluminium cabinetry stays stable in humidity and downpours, avoiding swell or rot. Marine grade 316 stainless hardware and appliances resist corrosion across Inner Sydney and Outer Western Sydney. For doors and cladding, composite or aluminium slats outperform softwoods in exposed sites, while selected hardwoods work when ventilated and maintained. We plan drainage, drip edges and ventilation so water, grease and steam move away from surfaces, helping your outdoor kitchen look sharp season after season in CBD terraces and North St Marys backyards.

  • UV stable, stain resistant benchtops for year round use.
  • Aluminium cabinets with sealed seams and powder coat finish.
  • 316 stainless hinges, fixings and fasteners near the coast.
  • Heat shields, clearances and vents that protect appliances.
  • Non slip porcelain surfaces that clean quickly after storms.

Compliance Gas and Electrical

NSW rules require licensed trades for gas and power. FDSS Landscaping coordinates certified gasfitters and electricians, plans appliance clearances, ventilation and weatherproof power, and schedules required inspections so your outdoor kitchen is commissioned safely. We follow manufacturer instructions and local standards, document services, and locate isolation points for straightforward maintenance. Book a site assessment to confirm locations, loads and access across Sydney CBD terraces and North St Marys backyards.

  • Licensed gasfitter installs and pressure tests every gas line.
