Running the oven in a Chandler August makes the air conditioning work harder. A grill island by the patio moves the cooking outside and keeps the kitchen cool.
It also puts the cook with the guests instead of behind a wall. From fall through spring, East Valley evenings are made for eating outside, and a built outdoor kitchen in Chandler tends to get used far more than a grill on wheels.

These are six of the builds that come up most. They range from a short grill island to a full outdoor kitchen with a sink, fridge and bar seating.
Most start with the ground. An island needs a flat, solid slab or pad under it, which often means pouring new concrete under the patio cover or breaking out an old cracked one first.
New concrete under a covered porch gives an island a flat, solid place to sit close to the back door.
Cracked or undersized concrete gets broken out and hauled away before any new base goes down.
A block island with the grill set in and counter space on both sides of it.
Grill, sink, fridge and storage in one run of counter, laid out like a real kitchen.
A raised counter on the guest side, so people sit and talk while the food cooks.
We look at the patio, the cover and the route to your utilities, then talk through a layout on the free visit.
We measure the patio, note where the back door, the cover and the utilities sit, and work out how long the island needs to be for your grill and counter. The quote is written and lists what is in the build.
We also check the height of the patio cover and the clearance your grill calls for. A layout that works on paper can crowd the back door or trap smoke under the eaves if nobody checks.
Utilities and the base come before any block. Changing a gas or water route after the island is built means tearing it apart.
The island itself is concrete block, built on the pad and checked for level as it goes up. Counters and finishes go on last, once the grill fits its opening.
Layout, measurements and a written price.
Old surface out, pad poured or base set.
Block walls built, openings sized.
Counter set, sides finished.
Cleanup and a walkthrough of the build.
Most islands sit on pavers, travertine or a concrete slab. Add shade overhead and a fire pit or lawn nearby for after the meal.
A pergola over the grill makes afternoon cooking bearable in the Arizona sun, and landscape lighting keeps the counter usable after dark. Planning them together keeps posts, wires and gas lines out of each other’s way.
Every kitchen is priced on its own layout. These are the four things that move the number most.
A short grill island on an existing slab and a full kitchen on a new patio are very different jobs. The quote breaks out the base, the island and the finish so you can see where the money goes.
More counter means more block, more finish and more labor.
A grill alone is simpler than a grill, sink, fridge and storage doors.
Granite, concrete, travertine and stone veneer each price differently.
An island on a sound existing slab is less work than one that needs a new pad or patio first.

We are a family owned landscaping company in Chandler, AZ. Outdoor kitchens are built by the same crew that handles our patios, concrete and landscape installs.
If you do not see your question, ask at the free visit. We would rather sort it out before the block goes up.
These are the questions we hear most from Chandler homeowners planning an outdoor kitchen. They cover counters, grills, utilities and patio covers.
Granite and concrete both handle Arizona heat well. Dark counters get hot in direct afternoon sun, so shade or a lighter color helps if the island sits in the open.
Often, yes, as long as the grill has the clearance and ventilation its maker calls for. We check the cover height and the grill specs before we plan the layout.
Yes, or at least pick the model. The island opening is sized to the grill, so we need its exact measurements before the block goes up.
Only if you want a sink, a fridge or lights. Each one needs a line run to the island, and those are far easier to plan before the patio is finished.
Leave room on both sides of the grill for plates and prep. We lay it out with you based on how many people you usually cook for.
Usually. We check that the pavers and base can carry the weight, and if not, we open that section and build a proper pad under it.
We build outdoor kitchens for homes in Chandler, Gilbert, Mesa, Tempe and Ahwatukee. Queen Creek and San Tan Valley are in range too.
Wherever the job is in the East Valley, the same things matter: a solid base, room under the cover and a counter that can take the summer sun. We plan for all three.
The island is block underneath. The finish on top and on the sides is where you choose the look.
Granite and concrete are the most common counters in the Arizona heat, and stone veneer or travertine on the sides ties the island to the patio. Lighter colors stay cooler in direct afternoon sun.
Hard, dense and heat tolerant. The most common outdoor counter.
Formed in place and colored to match the patio.
Stone facing on the island sides for a rustic, built in look.
We are a family owned company in Chandler. Our own crew builds the island from the base up, and we plan it with the rest of the yard.
