Built-in grills, counters and bars that make the backyard the place to gather.
Outdoor kitchens in Austin are less a luxury and more a way to reclaim your backyard from the Texas heat. Whether you're on a dense lot in Tarrytown, backing onto Mueller's mixed-use trails, or perched above the limestone west of MoPac, you probably spend half the year wanting to cook and gather outside. The trick is building something that actually works on your particular patch of ground.
Austin's soil ranges from black gumbo clay to rocky limestone depending on which side of the city you call home. That foundation matters for every countertop, grill pad, and utility line we run. We size your outdoor kitchen to your lot's real constraints and your actual entertaining style, then coordinate with your existing gas, electric, and drainage so nothing gets torn up later.
Corral Bros handles the whole job locally and in-house: design, masonry, counters, built-in appliances, and the grading and utility work that keeps everything solid. You get a free on-site estimate usually within 48 hours. Call us at (737) 404-9343 to start.
We're a local, family-built company that treats your Austin property like our own — tidy crews, clear pricing, and outdoor kitchens that holds up to Travis County conditions. Available as a one-time project or part of an ongoing plan.
Outdoor kitchen cost ranges widely based on size, the counter and masonry materials, and the appliances you choose, from a simple built-in grill island to a full kitchen with a bar, fridge and storage. We design to your budget and provide a clear, itemized quote.
A Central Texas outdoor kitchen commonly includes a built-in grill, durable stone or masonry counters, storage, and often a bar, side burner or fridge, with shade overhead for summer use. We design the layout around how you cook and entertain.
Cost depends on size, materials, and whether you already have utilities run to your outdoor space. A basic grill island with concrete counters costs far less than a full kitchen with stone, a full bar, and separate prep areas. We'll give you a real estimate after seeing your lot and soil conditions. Call (737) 404-9343 for a free on-site visit.
Absolutely. East Austin's clay requires proper drainage and deeper footings; west of MoPac's limestone means we may hit rock and adjust digging depth. We account for your soil type and grade the pad so water sheds away from the structure. That groundwork makes the difference between something that lasts and something that settles or floods.
Yes. We've designed plenty for tight Tarrytown and Mueller properties where square footage is at a premium. A narrow island grill or a single-wall setup with a built-in cooler and bar can work beautifully on a small footprint. We'll sketch options that match your lot shape and shade patterns.
We coordinate with your gas and electrical systems as part of the project. We don't pull permits ourselves, but we'll work with your licensed gas fitter and electrician to make sure the grill and any other appliances connect safely and up to code. That planning happens during the estimate.
Sealed stone and concrete counters, powder-coated steel or stainless appliances, and quality tile backing resist UV and temperature swings better than unsealed surfaces. Austin's heat is relentless, so we avoid materials that expand and contract wildly. We'll show you what we'd use on your space and why.
Absolutely. A bar overhang with stools, built-in benches, or a stone-topped counter for seating changes the whole dynamic. We integrate seating into the layout so it feels intentional, not cramped, and we size it to your entertaining style and lot shape.
