The Benefits of a Custom Outdoor Kitchen or Grilling Station
If you’re wondering “Is an outdoor kitchen worth it in Illinois?” or “How much does it cost to build an outdoor kitchen in Chicagoland?”, you’re not alone — these are two of the most common questions we hear. Here’s why more homeowners throughout Orland Park, New Lenox, and surrounding areas are upgrading their patios with a fully built-in outdoor kitchen.
1. Elevated Outdoor Living
An outdoor kitchen expands your home’s usable space, turning your backyard into an all-season entertainment hub. With integrated appliances, countertops, and lighting, you can cook, dine, and relax outdoors comfortably.
2. Increased Property Value
Outdoor kitchens are one of the top-rated home improvements for ROI. They instantly increase resale appeal while providing a feature that stands out to potential buyers.
3. Built to Last
Unlike prefabricated grill islands, our custom kitchens are built from stone, pavers, and weather-resistant materials engineered to handle Chicagoland’s hot summers and freezing winters.
4. Endless Customization
Choose from gas or charcoal grills, pizza ovens, smokers, refrigerators, sinks, and storage cabinets. We can even integrate bar seating, fire features, and pergolas for a complete outdoor living experience.
5. Low Maintenance, High Enjoyment
Our materials require minimal maintenance and are easy to clean, ensuring your outdoor kitchen looks great and performs flawlessly year after year.
The Visual Impact of Outdoor Kitchens
An outdoor kitchen adds architectural presence and a sense of luxury to any patio or yard. Arturo’s designs focus on balance, flow, and aesthetic harmony — creating spaces that invite relaxation and entertainment. At night, integrated LED lighting highlights textures and stone details, while custom paver floors and seating walls frame your kitchen area with elegance. It’s the perfect gathering place for family, friends, and guests — right in your own backyard.
Common Questions About Outdoor Kitchens
How much does an outdoor kitchen cost in Chicagoland?
The average outdoor kitchen cost in the Chicagoland area ranges from $15,000 to $75,000+, depending on size, materials, and features such as grills, counters, and plumbing. A Uribe Landscaping provides onsite consultations and detailed proposals tailored to your needs and budget.
Can outdoor kitchens be used year-round in Illinois?
Yes — when designed properly. We build outdoor kitchens with weather-resistant materials and gas appliances that can be used even in cooler months. Add a fire feature or patio heater for year-round comfort.
What’s the best surface for an outdoor kitchen?
Paver or natural-stone surfaces are ideal because they’re durable, non-slip, and easy to maintain. Arturo often integrates the kitchen into an existing paver patio for a cohesive look.
Do outdoor kitchens require maintenance?
Minimal maintenance is required — mostly seasonal cleaning and occasional sealing of stone or paver surfaces to maintain their color and protect from stains.
