Custom Outdoor Kitchens Built for Iowa Backyards
An outdoor kitchen isn’t just a grill on a slab, it’s an extension of your home’s living space. Our team designs and builds outdoor kitchens that fit your patio layout, your cooking style, and how you host people.
Whether you want a simple grilling station or a full outdoor kitchen with prep space and storage, we focus on smart layout, durable materials, and a finished look that feels like it belongs.
We build outdoor kitchens for homeowners in Des Moines, Ankeny, Johnston, Waukee, Urbandale, Clive, West Des Moines, and surrounding Central Iowa communities.
Why Homeowners Add an Outdoor Kitchen
Make Entertaining Easier
Cook, serve, and hang out in one place — without running back inside every five minutes.
Create a True Outdoor Living Space
Outdoor kitchens turn patios into “outdoor rooms” with purpose and flow.
Increase Home Value & Enjoyment
A well-built outdoor kitchen adds a premium feel and makes your yard more usable.
Keep the Heat Outside
In summer, nobody wants to turn their kitchen into a sauna. Outdoor cooking keeps the inside cooler.
