Custom outdoor kitchens for Austin homes. Built-in gas grills, smokers, pizza ovens, refrigerators, and bar seating — designed for year-round Texas outdoor entertaining. Our pros build with steel framing, cement board substrate, and stone or stucco exterior rated for 100+ degree heat.
Outdoor Kitchen Components
- Grill station: Built-in gas grill (36-48 inch) — natural gas or propane. Side burner for sauces and sides. Smoker box for Texas-style BBQ.
- Pizza oven: Wood-fired or gas — reaches 800 degrees for authentic Neapolitan pizza in 90 seconds. Doubles as bread oven.
- Refrigeration: Outdoor-rated refrigerator (stainless steel, 304-grade), ice maker, beverage center, kegerator. Must handle Austin summer heat without compressor burnout.
- Sink and water: Hot and cold running water with outdoor-rated faucet. Requires dedicated water line and proper drainage — not just a garden hose connection.
- Storage: Weatherproof drawers and cabinets — stainless steel or marine-grade polymer. Soft-close, sealed against Austin dust and pollen.
- Countertops: Granite (most popular), concrete (custom color/aggregate), or porcelain tile. Must be UV-resistant and handle thermal shock from hot pans.
