Stone Benchtops for Outdoor Entertaining

Imagine this: friends and whānau gathered in your backyard, the BBQ sizzling, drinks chilled, and everything at your fingertips on a stunning stone benchtop built to last in New Zealand’s conditions.

Outdoor entertaining has become a big part of Kiwi living, and more and more homeowners are transforming their backyards into functional spaces that go well beyond a simple deck or patio. One feature that makes all the difference? A stone benchtop.

Why Stone is Perfect for Outdoor Spaces
When it comes to outdoor kitchens or dining areas, the surfaces you choose need to be tough enough to handle the elements while still looking stylish. That’s where stone shines.

• Durable and weather-resistant: Unlike timber or laminate, stone benchtops won’t warp, swell, or fade in the sun and rain.
• Low maintenance: With minimal upkeep, stone surfaces stay looking sleek year after year.
• Timeless style: Stone has a natural, sophisticated look that blends beautifully into any backyard design, from coastal baches to modern urban homes.

Inspiration for Your Outdoor Entertaining Area
Not sure how stone benchtops can fit into your backyard?

Here are a few ideas we’ve seen Kiwis love:

• Outdoor kitchens: Pair a stone benchtop with a built-in BBQ and fridge for the ultimate summer cooking station.
• Bar leaners: Create a casual, social hub for drinks and platters.
• Outdoor dining tables: A custom stone table makes for a long-lasting centrepiece.
• Poolside serving areas: Keep snacks, drinks, and towels close at hand on a surface that stands up to wet feet and sunscreen spills.
