Since the long holiday weekend and the last days of summer are here, I wanted to take a moment to clear up a question that many homeowners ask us: what’s the best option for exterior kitchen countertops?
We recently completed a beautiful BBQ countertop installation using Pitaya Granite from Brazil—a natural stone that combines durability with stunning design. This bold granite creates the perfect centerpiece for an outdoor kitchen, giving our client both function and elegance.
Why Choose Granite for Outdoor Kitchens?
When it comes to exterior countertops, granite is one of the best investments you can make. Here’s why:
- Weather Resistant – Granite is a natural stone that stands up to Florida’s sun, heat, and rain. Unlike some engineered materials, it won’t fade or warp outdoors.
- Durable & Heat Resistant – Perfect for BBQ areas, granite can handle hot pans, grills, and heavy use without damage.
- Affordable Luxury – Compared to higher-end options like quartzite or porcelain, granite gives you the beauty of natural stone at a more budget-friendly price point.
- Unique Designs – Each slab of granite, including Pitaya Granite, is one of a kind. No two outdoor kitchens will ever look the same.

Pitaya Granite is quarried in Brazil and is known for its vibrant movement and depth of color. It adds a touch of exotic beauty while maintaining the resilience granite is famous for. For homeowners who want to combine style with practicality, Pitaya is an excellent choice.
