An outdoor kitchen is one of the best additions you can make to a DFW backyard. It stretches your living space outside, adds real value to the home, and gives you a spot you actually use through our long warm season.
It's also a project that goes wrong easily when the stone and tile get handed off to whoever's free that week. Cracked stone, stained counters, a facade that shifts because the footing got skipped, we see it a lot.
So we do the stone and tile ourselves. The facade, the countertop, and the backsplash all get set by the same crew, which is what keeps the finished kitchen looking like one piece.
A good layout starts with how you actually cook and host. We plan it in zones: a cook zone at the grill, a prep zone with counter space and usually a sink, and a gather zone, often a raised bar where people sit while you work.
The shape follows your space. A straight run fits a tight patio, an L-shape splits prep and the grill onto two legs, and a U-shape or an island with a bar suits a bigger yard. We keep enough counter on both sides of the grill so the kitchen holds up to real cooking.
On appliances, we source and build in whatever you cook on: a built-in gas grill as the anchor, a side burner for pots, an under-counter fridge, a Big Green Egg or a smoker set into the stonework, a sink, storage doors and drawers.
Tell us what you want and we lay the kitchen out around it, framing the openings so each unit drops in clean.
Texas heat decides what lasts. For the facade we use natural stone like limestone and travertine, or a stone veneer over a block core, matched to your patio, coping, or home. For countertops we use granite or other natural stone that takes direct sun, summer heat, and rain without fading or staining.
We seal the stone that needs it and steer you toward the surfaces that actually hold up out here. We bring samples to the estimate so you see the facade and the counter against your own space.
Most kitchens we build are built-in masonry, a permanent structure on a proper footing, clad in stone, with the appliances set right into it. That's the look that anchors a backyard and adds the most value.
A modular kitchen, prefab cabinet units set in place, goes in faster and can move later. If you want a feature that lasts and looks like it was always part of the home, build it in. We'll tell you straight which one fits your space and budget.
An outdoor kitchen needs gas, water, and power run to it. We build all the stone, tile, countertop, and structural masonry ourselves, and we bring in a licensed plumber and electrician for the gas line, the water and drain to the sink, and the circuits for the fridge and lighting.
We frame the gaps for the gas and water lines into the masonry so those trades run clean lines, and you end up with one finished, coordinated kitchen.
Weatherproofing gets built in from the start. The structure sits on a footing that holds in our shifting clay, the stone and grout are set to take freeze and thaw, the counters are sealed against stains, and we slope the surfaces so rain sheds off the joints. That's what keeps a kitchen looking new after ten years.
Cost comes down to size, the appliances you build in, the stone you pick, and the utility runs. A simple built-in grill island costs less than a full kitchen with an island, a bar, multiple appliances, and premium stone. We measure your space on site and give you a fixed price.
A lot of these tie into the rest of the yard: a new patio under the kitchen, a pool retile or coping replacement nearby, or a fire feature off the same patio.
Doing it together keeps the stone matched and the crew on one timeline.
We build outdoor kitchens across Dallas, Fort Worth, Southlake, Frisco, and Plano, starting with a free on-site estimate with samples brought to the property.

What our clients say
“Lalo is super knowledgeable and helpful. He's always answered all my questions and been my go-to guy for anything pool related. Can't recommend him enough.”
Homeowner, Dallas TX
“These guys did our whole pool retile in four days. Showed up on time every morning, cleaned up every evening. The pool looks better than when it was new.”
Homeowner, Plano TX
“We've used Lalo's on three builds now. They just get it done. No drama, no excuses. That's hard to find with subs.”
Pool Builder, DFW
“Lalo came out himself to look at our coping. Didn't try to upsell us on stuff we didn't need. Just told us what needed fixing and gave us a fair price.”
Homeowner, Fort Worth TX
“Had another company do our tile and it started falling off after one summer. Lalo's crew came in, tore it out, and redid the whole thing. Should have called them first.”
Homeowner, Garland TX
“Honest people, quality work. That's it. That's the review.”

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
It depends on the size, the appliances you build in, the stone you pick, the gas and water runs, and site access. A simple built-in grill island costs a lot less than a full kitchen with an island, a bar, and multiple appliances. We measure on site and quote a fixed price.
We handle all the stone, tile, countertop, and structural masonry ourselves. For gas, water, and electrical we bring in a licensed plumber and electrician, and we frame the openings so their lines run clean. You get one finished, coordinated kitchen.

Limestone and travertine are popular for facades, and granite or other natural stone for countertops, because they take direct sun, summer heat, and rain without fading or breaking down. We seal the stone that needs it and bring samples to the estimate.
A built-in masonry kitchen is permanent, sits on a footing, and reads as part of the yard, and it holds the most value. A modular kitchen of prefab units goes in faster and can move later. Most homeowners want the built-in for the look and the longevity. We'll tell you which fits your space and budget.
The structure sits on a footing that holds in our shifting clay, the stone and grout are set to take freeze and thaw, the counters are sealed against stains, and the surfaces are sloped so rain sheds off the joints. That's why a kitchen still looks new after ten years.
Yes, and it usually comes out better that way. We coordinate the kitchen with a new patio under it or a pool retile and coping nearby so the materials match and one crew runs it on a single timeline. Same hands on all the stone and tile keep the whole space cohesive.
