Cooking and Entertaining Space Built for Garland, TX Backyards
A grill sitting alone on a patio only gets you so far once you actually start hosting. Spades Pools designs custom outdoor kitchens for homeowners throughout Garland, TX, built around how you actually cook and entertain, whether that means a full setup with a grill, sink, and refrigerator, or a simpler grill station with real counter space and storage.
Gas, electrical, and plumbing rough-in work are handled as part of every project, along with proper foundation and drainage planning, so the finished kitchen holds up to daily use, not just the occasional weekend cookout. As a family, locally owned company, Spades Pools completes every build in-house, with the same team overseeing your project from the first consultation through the final walkthrough.
Outdoor kitchen pricing depends on layout, appliance selection, materials, and how much utility work (gas, electrical, plumbing) the project requires. Since no two setups are the same, we do not quote a flat rate up front. We walk your space, talk through what you actually want to cook and host, and give you a clear, honest estimate from there.
We believe an outdoor kitchen build should be collaborative, transparent, and free of surprises. Here is what you can expect from start to finish.
We walk your property, discuss how you cook and entertain, and talk through layout, appliance needs, and material options that fit your space and budget.
We put together a design that fits your patio or backyard, including counter space, appliance placement, and how the kitchen connects to seating or dining areas.
We handle gas, electrical, and plumbing rough-in work as needed, along with proper foundation and drainage planning.
Our in-house team handles the full build, from framing and utility connections to countertops, cabinetry, and appliance installation.
Before we consider the project complete, we walk you through the finished kitchen, test all appliances and utility connections, and confirm everything matches what was planned.
A properly designed and built outdoor kitchen comes with benefits beyond convenience.
An outdoor kitchen keeps cooking and hosting outside, which means less back-and-forth to the indoor kitchen during gatherings.
Outdoor kitchens are one of the higher-impact additions for resale value, particularly in markets where outdoor living is a major selling point.
Proper construction and quality materials mean your outdoor kitchen holds up to regular use, not just the occasional weekend cookout.
Whether you grill often, smoke meat, or want a full prep and serving setup, a custom design is built around your specific habits.
A well-placed outdoor kitchen connects naturally with a patio, pergola, or pool area, creating one cohesive outdoor living space.
Material choice affects both durability and maintenance in Texas weather. Stainless steel appliances and cabinetry resist rust and hold up better against humidity and sun exposure than lower-grade materials. Stone or masonry construction offers a durable, low-maintenance base, while concrete countertops provide a customizable, heat-resistant surface for food prep. Layout matters just as much as materials, an L-shaped or U-shaped design often works better for kitchens that need to accommodate multiple people cooking or serving at once, while a straight-line layout suits smaller spaces or simpler grill stations.
We will walk you through the tradeoffs in cost, durability, and layout based on your specific space and how you plan to use it.
Not sure if now is the right time? Here are common signs.
If you are regularly running back and forth to an indoor kitchen while grilling, a dedicated outdoor setup solves that directly.
Adding an outdoor kitchen alongside a larger project ensures it is designed to work with the rest of the space rather than added later as a separate structure.
If entertaining is a priority, an outdoor kitchen gives guests a natural gathering point outside rather than crowding your indoor kitchen.
If you are working off a single grill with no real counter space, storage, or utility hookups, a proper build changes how usable that space actually is.
