Outdoor Kitchens & BBQ Islands

Custom-built from natural stone for DFW homeowners. From simple BBQ islands to full outdoor kitchens — designed around the way you cook and entertain.

Stop Hauling the Grill In and Out

A built-in outdoor kitchen changes the way your family uses the backyard. No more dragging the portable grill out of the garage. No more running inside to grab ingredients. Everything you need — grill, counter space, refrigerator, sink — right where you're entertaining, right where you're cooking.

Truhaven Outdoor Living builds custom outdoor kitchens and BBQ islands using natural stone, commercial-grade equipment, and designs that match the look and feel of your home. Every project is custom — sized for your yard, designed around your cooking style, and built to last decades in the Texas climate.


What We Can Build for You

BBQ Island

The most popular starting point. A natural stone island built around your built-in grill. Counter space on both sides, storage underneath, and a clean finished look that holds up in any weather.

Full Outdoor Kitchen

A complete outdoor cooking space — grill, side burner, refrigerator, sink, bar seating, and full counter space. Everything you have inside your kitchen, built for the outdoors.

L-Shaped & U-Shaped Kitchens

Custom configurations that wrap around your outdoor space, creating defined cooking and entertaining zones. Perfect for larger patios and pool areas.

Pizza Oven Islands

Add a wood-fired pizza oven to your outdoor kitchen setup. A focal point that makes your backyard the place everyone wants to gather.

Common Questions About Outdoor Kitchens

How much does a custom outdoor kitchen cost in DFW?

Custom outdoor kitchens in the DFW area typically range from $8,000 for a basic BBQ island to $40,000+ for a full outdoor kitchen with appliances, bar seating, lighting, and natural stone. We provide free, detailed quotes with no hidden fees.

What materials do you use for outdoor kitchens?

We build primarily with natural stone — including flagstone, limestone, and granite — for the structure and countertops. We use commercial-grade BBQ equipment designed for outdoor use in Texas heat. All materials are selected for durability in DFW's climate.

How long does it take to build an outdoor kitchen?

A basic BBQ island typically takes 3–5 days. A full outdoor kitchen with appliances, countertops, and custom features takes 1–3 weeks depending on scope. We give you a precise timeline during your free consultation.

Do outdoor kitchens add value to your home in Texas?

Yes. In the DFW market, a well-built outdoor kitchen typically returns 100–200% of its cost in added home value. Buyers in affluent DFW neighborhoods specifically look for outdoor living features and will pay premiums for them.

Can you combine an outdoor kitchen with a pergola and turf?

Absolutely — and this is our specialty. We build complete outdoor living spaces where the kitchen, pergola, turf, and pavers all work together. One contractor handles everything, which means cleaner transitions and a more polished final result.
