Outdoor Kitchens
We build the whole outdoor kitchen as a masonry structure: block walls faced in real clay brick or natural stone. Every opening is built to the specs of the grill and appliances you pick.

Maitland is a city of lakes. Its Land Development Code lists 21 of them, including Lake Lily, Lake Sybelia, Lake Minnehaha and Lake Hope. On a lakefront lot, "we want an outdoor kitchen by the lake" is how a job can start. Away from the water, a 1960s house may bring "the front of the house needs brick" instead.
All American Masonry & Concrete is a masonry company in St. Cloud, and our masons work across Greater Orlando. We come up Narcoossee Road and SR 417, the Central Florida GreeneWay, about 35 miles to Maitland. We build lakefront outdoor kitchens and fireplaces as full masonry, with block cores faced in clay brick or natural stone. Call (407) 702-4316, and we look at the space and give you a quote.

Maitland's story starts at a lake. The Army built Fort Maitland on the west shore of Lake Maitland in 1838. The Florida Audubon Society was also founded here, and it still protects wild birds on Lake Sybelia. Today the city says many of its lakes are surrounded by development.
The city's code keeps new buildings and structures at least 50 feet from any lake or water body. The line is measured from each lake's normal high water elevation, which the code lists. The same code names outdoor fireplaces and barbecue pits as examples of minor structures. Check where that line falls on your lot, and we lay out the build to fit.
We build masonry outdoor fireplaces with firebrick-lined fireboxes and capped chimneys. Under a lanai or pavilion roof, we build the fireplace; your builder handles the permit and the structure. Wood fires near a house have their own rules, so check with the city and the Fire-Rescue Department first. A fireplace and an outdoor kitchen can go up as one project.
Census survey data shows about two in three owner-occupied houses in Maitland were built before 1980. Nearly half went up in the 1960s and 1970s. The city's history says the 1950s space age brought a wave of new families here. Between 1972 and 1979, twelve new residential subdivisions were developed in town.
Older homes still stand in the city's historical corridor around Lake Lily and Lake Catherine, some from the 1880s. The Maitland Art Center, founded as an art colony in 1937, became a National Historic Landmark in 2014. Land near the Art Center and Lake Lily Park sits in a Culture, History and Arts Overlay. That overlay sets its own setbacks for new building, so check with the city before exterior work there.
When the city planned a new library, residents favored a mid-century modern look to match Maitland's architecture. Newer houses stand among the older ones: about one in eight owner-occupied houses dates from 2000 or later. On a new custom home, we team up with the builder for brick veneer and a masonry fireplace. On an older house, our masons can add real clay brick or natural stone veneer to the front and entry.
Maitland's Community Development Department handles building permits through its Building Division and an online permitting site. The city's permit guide does not name outdoor kitchens or fireplaces. It does list an accessory structure type for sheds, cabanas, trellises and gazebos. Ask the Building Division whether your plan needs a permit, and which type.
A licensed plumber or gas contractor runs any gas line, and a licensed electrician does the wiring. We build the block base with the openings and chases their work needs. A 2026 state law has cities exempt some lower-value work on single-family homes, on written request. Gas, electrical, plumbing and structural work stay outside that permit exemption.
The city's permit list also has a Driveway type for concrete or pavers and a Concrete Work type for walkways. Maitland's land code caps impervious coverage at 70 percent of the lot in its single-family zones. Buildings, pools, patios and driveways all count toward that cap.
Federal soil maps show Tavares fine sand as the most common soil series in Maitland. Tavares sits on hills and ridges and drains moderately well. Some lower, flatter ground holds Smyrna sand, which drains poorly. There, the water table can sit within 18 inches of the surface for one to four months in most years.
Our mud-set brick patios start with a concrete slab we pour first. Then we set clay brick in a mortar bed on top, so the slab carries the brick. The brick, the stone and the concrete under them all come from one company.
Within 10 feet of a house, the Florida Building Code wants hard surfaces sloped at least 2 percent away. We slope broom-finish walks and patios to carry rain away from the house. The city says the development around its lakes sends large amounts of rain runoff their way with each storm.
