KD Landscaping of Chicago, IL builds lots of outdoor kitchens for clients. The cost of each depends on the site, the equipment, and the accompanying patio and landscape design’s complexity. 

Think about how you want to use your new outdoor kitchen. How many guests? Formal or casual? Views or tucked away and cozy?

It’s fun to look online at lots of outdoor kitchen examples, but the best thing you can do is talk to an expert. They’ll ask important questions like how many people do you want to be able to serve, do you want it visible from your kitchen window or some other spot, what kind of style do you envision, and so on.

Should you have an outdoor oven or just grill? Outdoor refrigerator?

If you’re planning an outdoor kitchen their article is a good place to start. Here are a few excepts…

“…a grill is usually a larger appliance in an outdoor kitchen. And there are so many types of grills out there to choose from today. Depending on what you’re looking for, you could spend anywhere from $2,500 to $20,000 on the grill alone.”

“If you know you’ll be cooking outdoors – rain or shine – you may also want to add the cost of a pavilion or pergola to help give you some shelter from rain, wind, and sun throughout the year. This will increase your outdoor kitchen costs, but it will also increase your enjoyable time outside in your new space.”
