5-star experience from start to finish. Scheduling a quote online was incredibly easy, the pricing was transparent, and the entire crew was beyond professional. The quality of their work is incredible. They move quickly and efficiently while still paying close attention to the details. Any time I had a question, Will or someone on his team got back to me in a timely manner. I would recommend Gladiator Sod to anyone looking for sod or landscaping work. I wouldn’t hire anyone else moving forward. They have definitely earned my business for any future sodding or landscaping projects.

They did an excellent job on my yard, the grass grew in nice with no patches. You couldn’t beat it for the price.

I would like to say that Will and his crew from GSL did a great job on establishing a beautiful front lawn for me. They pay so much attention to detail with their work. I couldn't be happier. I will definitely be using Gladiator Sod and Landscape for my next project.

I rarely leave reviews, but Will and his team absolutely knocked my job out of the park. It’s hard to trust someone with your home and landscaping projects but I’m so glad I did. The job turned out exactly like I had envisioned and Will checked in with me along the way to walk me through the process. 10/10 would recommend.

Just had an approximate 4,000 square ft of zeon zoysia installed. Entire process went very well from getting a quote, getting work scheduled, and project completed. I had gotten 3 quotes- one provider was about 25% higher and another was slightly less than Gladiator SOD. I went with Gladiator SOD as I felt installing sod was more of their primary work versus an additional service that other landscaping companies may do on the side from time to time. Speaking with the project head on installation day, he confirmed with me that sod installation is probably 75% of their jobs. The sod itself came delivered from Super Sod, and you can tell it was freshly cut and in great shape. No issues at all there. The installation went smoothly, which included removing existing grass, grading work, and installation of new sod. Everyone was professional, helpful, and courteous. The site was kept clean and all the other little things you can think of or might worry about it were handled as they should be. Overall, great experience and would recommend. Picture is of the backyard day of completion.

Great people. They did an excellent job. I would have them back again many times over if I need grass sid because they prep loaded and deliver the sod and installed. Worth every penny I spent.

This was the recent experience of mine dealing with Will from Gladiator SOD and Landscaping, Lenoir, TN. I must say I was more than satisfied with the result. Everything starting from the very first phone call to the end of the project was handled professionally and honestly by Will using his expertise. Crew was prompt, did its best to meet every need and made every effort possible to do it perfectly. Landscaping that has been done for me and sods that have been installed in my yard have exceeded all my expectations with the high quality of service. One can feel how much Will enjoys his job and wants all his customers to be satisfied. Will kept me informed during the entire project and completed everything as scheduled. If you are interested in getting your landscaping project completed promptly with high-quality service, then I strongly recommend contacting Will and Gladiator SOD and Landscaping. I definitely will use their services for all future projects of mine.

Outdoor Kitchens in Knoxville, TN: Custom Builds for Backyard Living

Gladiator SOD and Landscape has been building custom outdoor kitchens across East Tennessee since 2022, and every one is designed for how your household actually cooks and entertains. From full L-shaped builds with pizza ovens to compact grill stations with stone counters and storage, every build includes stone or brick surrounds, built-in grills, countertops, sinks, and storage, each one planned around how the space drains and connects to the house. We use freeze-thaw rated stone, properly sealed countertops, and drainage behind every wall, because an outdoor kitchen in East Tennessee has to stand up to clay-heavy soil, heavy rain, and winter cold. One in-house crew handles the entire project from design through final walkthrough, with no subcontractors.

Cook, Dine, and Entertain—Without Leaving Your Lawn

Tired of hauling food in and out during every cookout? Our outdoor kitchen installations give you everything you need in one beautiful, durable, weather-resistant setup. Whether you’re hosting summer BBQs or cozy fall dinners, we create spaces that feel like an extension of your home.

Outdoor Kitchen FAQs

How much does an outdoor kitchen cost in Knoxville, TN?

Cost depends on the size, materials, and features you choose. A basic grill station runs less than a full kitchen with countertops, sinks, and storage. We walk your property, talk through the options, and give you a free, no-obligation estimate based on the actual build.

What materials do you use for outdoor kitchens?

We build with weather-resistant stone, brick, stainless steel, and concrete, all rated for East Tennessee's freeze-thaw winters and heavy rain. Countertops are sealed against moisture, and every wall gets drainage behind it so the structure holds up for decades.

How long does it take to build an outdoor kitchen?

Most outdoor kitchen projects are completed in 2 to 4 weeks, depending on the scope and weather. One crew handles the entire build from start to finish, so there are no delays from subcontractor scheduling.

Can I add a pergola or roof over my outdoor kitchen?

Yes. A cover like a pergola or roof extension protects appliances and lets you cook in any weather. We design integrated structures that tie the kitchen, the cover, and the patio together as one finished space.

Do I need a patio under my outdoor kitchen?

A solid surface is essential. We build outdoor kitchens on paver or stone patios with a proper base and drainage so the kitchen sits level and the surface holds weight without shifting.

Do you build outdoor kitchens for commercial properties?

We do. We build outdoor kitchens for restaurants, HOA amenity areas, and commercial properties across Knoxville. Same crew, same standards, no subcontractors.
