1. How much will my outdoor kitchen cost?

Depends on size, materials, and amenities. Small grill stations would cost a few thousand. A full custom kitchen can go higher. We’ll give you a clear, upfront estimate.

2. Can an outdoor kitchen last through Iowa winters?

Yes. We use materials and construction techniques designed to handle freeze-thaw cycles, snow, and summer heat.

3. Can I add my outdoor kitchen later?

Absolutely. Many clients start with the essentials - grill, counter, storage - and add amenities like ovens or fridges later.

Outdoor Kitchens Central Iowa | Custom Backyard Living Spaces

There’s something about food outdoors. It just feels different - more relaxed, more connected, more fun. Whether it’s grilling burgers on a Saturday, hosting friends for a late-night pizza by the fire, or simply sipping coffee in the fresh air, your backyard can be more than grass and a patio chair. It can be a true living space.

That’s where Larkin Landscape & Design has made a name for itself. We design and build outdoor kitchens in Central Iowa that don’t just sit there - they work.
