Bring the luxury of stone to your South Jersey backyard with a custom outdoor kitchen countertop from Modern Stone Design. From simple BBQ surrounds to fully equipped outdoor kitchens with bar tops, prep counters, and pizza oven surrounds, we deliver weather-resistant stone that lasts decades outdoors.
Built for Cherry Hill, NJ Weather
South Jersey weather is demanding on outdoor surfaces. Hot summer sun, humid air, freezing winters, ice and snow — outdoor stone needs to handle it all. Not every stone is suitable for outdoor use, and we’ll guide you to materials that thrive in our climate.
Best Outdoor Stones
- Granite — our top recommendation. Handles freeze-thaw cycles, UV exposure, grill heat, and decades of weather without fading or cracking.
- Quartzite — natural stone harder than granite, beautiful and outdoor-rated.
- Outdoor-rated quartz — Caesarstone Outdoor Collection, select Silestone patterns. UV-stable and weather-resistant.
- Bluestone, slate, and limestone — for traditional aesthetics in covered outdoor kitchens.
Stones to Avoid Outdoors
- Indoor-rated quartz — most quartz brands aren’t UV-stable and will yellow or fade outside
- Marble — soft, stains easily, etches from acidic foods and drinks
- Soft sandstone — absorbs water, prone to freeze-thaw damage
