Outdoor Kitchens in Arlington, TX
Pick your grill by standing in front of it, lifting the lid and turning the knobs. Then let the same company build the counter around it. That is how outdoor kitchens work at TCO for Arlington homeowners.
Shop the grill, then build the kitchen
Our Fort Worth showroom covers more than 10,000 square feet, and a big share of it is working outdoor kitchen displays. You can compare Twin Eagles and Hestan grills side by side, open a Big Green Egg and see how much counter space a kamado really needs.
Choosing appliances in person changes the design. Once you know the exact grill, side burner and refrigerator, our designers draw the cabinet cutouts to those specs. No guessing from a catalog, and no surprises when the unit arrives.
Fort Worth Magazine readers have voted us Best Outdoor Store five years running. Arlington families make the drive because they want to see and touch the equipment before they commit.
How Arlington families actually cook outside
Arlington homeowners use their outdoor kitchens for game days, birthday parties and plenty of regular weeknight dinners. We start the design with how you cook. Do you smoke brisket on Saturday? Feed a crowd of twenty? Grill burgers for four? The answer sets the counter length, the appliance list and where the prep space goes.
We built an outdoor kitchen in Arlington that is featured on our blog, and every photo here was taken at an Arlington home. The layouts range from a single straight run to a full U with a bar side for guests.
Straight run
A grill, two storage doors and a stretch of counter along the back wall. Good for smaller patios and older slabs.
L-shape
Room for a grill and a smoker or griddle, with the cook facing the yard. This is the most popular layout we build.
U-shape with bar
Counters on three sides, a raised bar for stools and space for a refrigerator and sink. Best on large lots like those in Interlochen.
Stone, counters and the roof overhead
Our company started in large-scale masonry, so the kitchen base gets real attention. We build with block cores and face them in limestone, brick or stacked stone to match your house. Counters come in concrete, granite or natural stone with an overhang deep enough for bar seating.
We recommend placing most Arlington outdoor kitchens under a roof. Summer highs average around 94 degrees in July and August, and a cover protects stainless appliances, counters and the cook from sun and storms. If you do not have one yet, plan a patio cover in Arlington alongside the kitchen. A fireplace or fire pit at the other end of the patio turns the kitchen into a full gathering space.
Outdoor kitchen questions from Arlington
Should my Arlington outdoor kitchen go under a patio cover?
For most homes, yes. A roof keeps appliances and counters out of the sun and rain, and it makes the cooking area bearable on a July evening.
Which grill brands can I see in your showroom?
Our displays include Twin Eagles, Hestan and Big Green Egg, along with furniture, fans and heaters. Brands and models on the floor change, so call ahead if you want to see something specific.
Can you add a kitchen to my existing patio?
Often, yes. We check that the slab can carry the weight and that gas and electrical can reach it. If the slab is too small or cracked, we can extend it as part of the project. See our Arlington patio and walkway work.
Is financing available for an outdoor kitchen?
Yes, through LYON Financial, subject to lender approval.
