How Much Does an Outdoor Kitchen Actually Cost?

5 min read

If you've been asking whether an outdoor kitchen is worth it, the next question is usually "okay, so what does this actually cost me?" Here's a straight answer, with real numbers.

What Actually Drives the Cost

A few things move the price more than anything else:

• Size. More linear footage of cabinetry, more countertop, more cost — the relationship is fairly direct.
• Appliances. A grill alone is a very different budget than a grill, side burner, and refrigerator.
• Layout complexity. A straight run costs less than an L-shape or U-shape with multiple corners.
• Pre-set vs. Custom. A Pre-set Island has a fixed, known price the moment you pick a size and door style. Custom Design starts as a conversation about your space and budget, with no ceiling depending on your budget and requirements.

Real Numbers, By Island

Here's what our current Pre-set Islands actually start at:

Where Pre-set vs. Custom Fits Your Budget

If you already know roughly what you want — size, door style, layout — Pre-set Islands give you a defined price the moment you land on the page. No back-and-forth, no waiting on a quote.

If your space is unusual, or you're not sure yet what fits, Free Custom Design starts as a real conversation with our design team about your yard and your budget — before anything gets built or priced. It costs nothing to start, and there's no obligation to move forward.
