BEST STONE FOR OUTDOOR KITCHENS
Not all stone performs equally outdoors. Here are the materials we recommend — and why — for Southern Oregon's climate.

why natural stone for your outdoor kitchen?
Natural stone is the only countertop material engineered by nature itself to handle outdoor conditions. Here's why it outperforms every alternative.
UV RESISTANT
Granite and quartzite do not fade, discolour, or degrade from prolonged sun exposure — unlike engineered quartz or laminate alternatives.
HEAT RESISTANT
Natural granite can handle the direct heat from a hot grill, summer sun, and everything in between — without warping, cracking, or staining from heat exposure.
SCRATCH RESISTANT
Granite's extreme hardness (Mohs 6–7) makes it highly resistant to scratching from outdoor cooking tools, utensils, and everyday outdoor use.
BUILT TO LAST
A properly fabricated, installed, and sealed granite outdoor countertop will outlast every other outdoor surface option — lasting decades with minimal maintenance.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is the best stone for outdoor kitchen countertops in Southern Oregon?
Granite is our top recommendation for outdoor kitchen countertops in Southern Oregon. It is extremely hard, UV-resistant, heat-resistant, and handles the Rogue Valley's temperature variations without warping or discolouring. Quartzite is also an excellent natural stone option for outdoor surfaces, particularly in covered patio settings.
​
​
​
Can engineered quartz be used for outdoor kitchen countertops?
Most engineered quartz brands are not recommended for outdoor use. Prolonged UV exposure can cause discolouration and the resin binders that hold quartz together may degrade with extreme temperature swings — a common occurrence in Southern Oregon. StoneTech strongly recommends natural granite or quartzite for all outdoor kitchen applications.
​
​​
​
Does StoneTech fabricate BBQ island countertops in Medford?
Yes. StoneTech fabricates and installs stone countertops for BBQ islands of any size, including cutouts for grills, sinks, drop-in coolers, and side burners. All surfaces are digitally templated at your home for a precise fit and professionally installed and sealed by our Medford team.
​​
​
​
Does outdoor stone need to be sealed?
Yes. Natural stone used outdoors should be sealed with a penetrating outdoor stone sealer to protect against moisture, staining, and weathering. StoneTech seals all outdoor stone surfaces as part of the installation process and recommends reapplication every 1–2 years depending on the level of weather exposure.​
​
​​
​
Can StoneTech match my outdoor kitchen stone to my indoor kitchen countertop?
Yes. StoneTech can source stone that coordinates or matches your indoor kitchen countertop material for a cohesive look between your interior and exterior spaces. Visit our Medford showroom at 1491 Burlcrest Drive to see slab options side by side and discuss your vision.
