A custom grill island is the foundation of a great outdoor kitchen — a permanently built masonry structure housing your grill, providing counter space, and integrating additional features like refrigerators, drawers, and side burners into a cohesive, weather-resistant unit. VistaScapes Design & Build builds custom grill islands in Broken Arrow, Tulsa, and surrounding Oklahoma communities. We construct the masonry frame and install your choice of appliances for a finished product that looks like it belongs — because it was built specifically for your backyard.
What’s in a Custom Grill Island?
A custom grill island starts with the structural frame and grows from there:
- Masonry frame — cinderblock or steel stud frame with cement board sheathing, built on a concrete base
- Built-in grill — drop-in gas grill of your specification; we cut the opening to match
- Countertop — granite, concrete, limestone, quartzite, or porcelain tile
- Side burner — integrated burner for sauces, sides, and boiling
- Outdoor refrigerator — keeps drinks and prep ingredients cold without trips inside
- Storage drawers and doors — access doors for propane, drawers for tools and utensils
- Exterior finish — stone veneer, stucco, brick, or tile over the masonry frame
- Bar extension — extended counter with overhang for seating if desired
Grill Island vs. Modular Cart
A modular grill cart is portable and lower cost. A custom built-in grill island is permanently installed, far more durable, weather-resistant, and visually integrated with the outdoor space. The island becomes part of the property — it doesn’t rust, tip over in wind, or need to be stored in winter. For Broken Arrow homeowners who intend to stay in their home for years and want an outdoor kitchen that looks like it belongs, a custom built-in is the right choice.
Built for Oklahoma Weather
VistaScapes uses outdoor-rated materials and construction techniques for every grill island. The masonry frame resists moisture and temperature extremes. Exterior finishes are weather-rated. Countertops are sealed for outdoor conditions. We build grill islands that handle Oklahoma’s hail, heat, and freeze-thaw cycles without issue.
