Key cost factors
Appliances and utilities
A simple grill island is affordable. Adding a fridge, sink, side burners, and pizza oven, plus running gas, water, and power outside, is where cost climbs.
Materials and cover
Stone or masonry counters and cabinets cost more than basic. A pergola or roof for weather protection adds to the total.
