Why Locals Choose This Option

Your outdoor project begins with an on-site consultation where we assess your space, discuss your design goals, and recommend stone materials that perform well under heat and weather exposure. In Irmo, many homeowners prefer granite for outdoor kitchens due to its resistance to UV fading, moisture, and temperature fluctuations. We review layout options, edge profiles, and support requirements to ensure your countertops and fireplace surrounds are both beautiful and functional.

Once you approve the design, IK Granite fabricates your stone pieces using precision cutting and finishing equipment. We create cutouts for grills, sinks, and access panels, and we finish edges to match your aesthetic preference. For fireplace installations, we select materials rated for heat exposure and ensure proper clearance and attachment to framing or masonry structures.

Installation is completed with attention to leveling, secure fastening, and weatherproofing. We seal stone surfaces as needed to protect against moisture infiltration and staining, and we verify that all elements are properly supported to prevent shifting or cracking over time. You receive an outdoor space that is ready to use and built to last through years of entertaining and seasonal weather.

How Our Process Works

Outdoor stone installations require materials and methods that account for environmental factors unique to the Midlands region. Here are answers to common questions about materials, installation, and maintenance.


Which stone materials hold up best in outdoor kitchens?
Granite is the most popular choice for outdoor kitchens due to its resistance to heat, moisture, and UV exposure. We also offer quartzite for homeowners seeking extra hardness and natural beauty.

Can you install stone around existing outdoor structures?
Yes, we template around grills, fire pits, and built-in appliances to ensure precise fit and proper clearance. We coordinate with contractors and landscapers as needed to integrate stone seamlessly into your design.

How do you protect stone from weather damage?
We apply penetrating sealant to outdoor granite and natural stone to prevent moisture infiltration and staining. Regular resealing every few years helps maintain performance in South Carolina's humid climate.

Do you handle fireplace mantels and hearth installations?
We fabricate and install custom stone mantels, hearths, and fireplace surrounds for both indoor and outdoor fireplaces. Our team uses heat-rated materials and ensures proper clearance and support.

What is the typical timeline for outdoor stone projects?
Most outdoor projects are completed within two to three weeks, depending on size and complexity. We provide a detailed schedule after templating and coordinate around your construction timeline.
