Custom Outdoor Kitchen
Installation in Columbus
Capital City Patios designs and builds custom grill islands and outdoor kitchens for homeowners across Columbus, from simple built-in grills to fully equipped outdoor cooking spaces. We handle Columbus outdoor kitchen installations from start to finish, meeting you on-site to plan the layout and building a 3D rendering in Unilock’s Uvision software before any block gets cut. The same experienced crew that designs your project is the crew that builds it, which means one point of contact from the first sketch to the last block.
Why Choose Capital City Patios as Your Columbus Outdoor Kitchen Builder
Quality Brands Like Bull Outdoor Products
Bull is the brand we install most often, including grills and matching accessories like refrigerators, cabinet drawers, and trash receptacles. We also offer Berlin Gardens’ Agora grill cabinets: an Amish-made, marine-grade poly system built in Ohio and available in a range of colors and finishes.
Gas and Plumbing Are Handled by Licensed Specialists
We build your outdoor kitchen and get every access point ready to go, then bring in a gas company we’ve trusted for years to handle the hookup itself. It’s one more way we make sure your kitchen is built safely, not just quickly.
Already Have a Grill You Love? We’ll Build an Enclosure Instead
If you have a Weber or another freestanding grill you are not ready to replace, we can build a custom enclosure with two sides and a back to give it a more finished, built-in appearance. It is a lower-cost alternative to a full outdoor kitchen island while still creating an attractive, intentional look.
Flexible Options, Multiple Styles
We build outdoor kitchens three ways, depending on your style and budget. The first is block-by-block, with paver accent rows worked into the surface for visual interest. The second is a concrete block foundation veneered in natural stone or brick. The third is Berlin Gardens’ Agora cabinet line, which provides a faster, ready-made option.
We Build the One-Off Stuff, Too
A custom outdoor kitchen in Columbus doesn’t have to look like everyone else’s. For example, we’ve built a cedar-clad pizza oven stand to match a client’s existing cedar benches. We’ve also built custom platforms wrapped in stone to safely house Big Green Egg smokers around kids. If you’ve got an idea nobody else has built, bring it to the estimate. We’re happy to work with your vision.
HOW IT WORKS
Our Process for Building a
Custom Outdoor Kitchen in Columbus
Site Visit and Design
We walk your property to evaluate accessibility, terrain, and local requirements, including setbacks from the house and property lines. Then we create a full 3D rendering so you can see how your outdoor kitchen will look and make design decisions before construction begins.
Choose Your Build Method
You’ll choose from an Agora cabinet system, a masonry kitchen built with segmental wall block and contrasting accents, or a masonry base finished with natural stone or brick veneer. Each method creates a different look, and pricing varies based on the materials, layout, appliances, and features you select.
Select Your Grill and Accessories
Most projects begin with a basic grill island, typically an 8-by-3-foot masonry structure topped with granite, quartz, or a poured-concrete countertop. From there, you can add features such as a refrigerator, trash receptacle, storage drawers, griddle, cutout for a Big Green Egg smoker, or pizza oven. Outdoor sinks are also possible when the plumbing is properly installed and winterized.
Utility Hookups
During construction, we prepare the necessary access points for gas and plumbing. Once the structure is in place, we coordinate with trusted, licensed specialists to complete the final utility connections safely and correctly.
Construction and Final Walkthrough
After construction is complete, we walk through the finished outdoor kitchen with you to confirm that it matches the approved design and answer any questions about use, care, and maintenance.
INVESTMENT
How Much Does
an Outdoor Kitchen
Cost?
Pricing for a basic grill island typically begins in the $12,000 to $15,000 range. The final cost depends on the size, construction materials, countertop, grill brand, accessories, utility requirements, and custom features you select. Whether you want a simple grill island or a fully customized outdoor kitchen, we can design the project around your space, priorities, and budget. If you already have a freestanding grill you are happy with, a custom grill enclosure may offer a lower-cost alternative to a complete island.

WHAT WE DO BEST
RELATED SERVICES WE OFFER
An outdoor kitchen is rarely a standalone project. Here are some of the features and services we commonly build alongside it.
CASE STUDY
Custom Pizza Oven
Added In Just One Day
Near the end of this project, the homeowner asked if we could incorporate a heavy Italian pizza oven he had recently purchased. Chris designed a custom structure on the spot, brought in the necessary materials, and completed it that same day. The stained cedar design matched the custom benches already installed on the patio, while the structure was built to safely support the oven’s weight. The finished addition looks like it was part of the original plan.
Frequently Asked Questions
The most basic option we build is a standalone grill island, typically an 8-by-3-foot masonry structure with a countertop and a cutout for a built-in grill. From there, you can add features such as a refrigerator, storage drawers, griddle, trash receptacle, and other accessories based on your preferences and budget.
Yes. If you have a freestanding grill you like, such as a Weber, we can build a custom grill enclosure around it instead of constructing a full built-in island. This can be a more affordable option because you are keeping the equipment you already own.
We build the outdoor kitchen structure and prepare the necessary access points for gas and plumbing. The final utility connections are completed by licensed specialists, including a gas company we have trusted and worked with for years.
It can be either, depending on the design you choose. A fully customized outdoor kitchen with premium materials, appliances, and accessories will cost more, while a basic grill island or a custom enclosure built around your existing grill offers a more budget-conscious option.
It depends on your preferences, the layout of the property, and local requirements. Some homeowners want the outdoor kitchen close to the house for convenient access, while others prefer it at the far end of the patio. During the site visit, we review property lines, local setback requirements, and any required clearances for the grill and other appliances to determine an appropriate location.
Bull Outdoor Products is our primary brand for built-in grills and coordinating accessories, including refrigerators, storage drawers, and trash receptacles. As a Columbus outdoor kitchen builder, we also offer Berlin Gardens’ Agora cabinet line for homeowners who prefer a modern, modular alternative to a traditional masonry kitchen.
