Tired of Hauling Everything Out to a Freestanding BBQ?
You’re tired of running back and forth to the indoor kitchen every time you host outside.
You’ve seen outdoor kitchens that look impressive but don’t actually fit how you cook or entertain.
You’re not sure what will actually survive an Okanagan winter versus what needs to be covered or stored.
Outdoor Kitchens Cost Calculator
Custom outdoor kitchens generally range from $15,000 to $100,000+, depending on their size, cabinetry, countertops, masonry, appliances and utility connections.
This calculator provides an early budget range only and is not a formal quote. Final pricing depends on site access, existing conditions, excavation, grading, drainage, material selections, engineering, permits, electrical and plumbing requirements, and the final approved design.

Outdoor Kitchen Design & Installation
An outdoor kitchen can become one of the most enjoyable and most-used spaces on your property. At Kalagan Outdoor Design, we help homeowners create custom outdoor kitchens that make it easier to cook, entertain, gather, and spend more time outside with family and friends. Whether it’s a simple built-in grill area or a fully equipped outdoor kitchen with seating, refrigeration, storage, and fire features, we can help bring the full vision together.
A well-designed outdoor kitchen changes how you use your backyard. It adds convenience, creates a natural gathering space, and brings cooking, dining, and relaxing together in one connected outdoor environment. We can design and install outdoor kitchens with features such as:
- Built-in grills
- BBQ islands
- Granite countertops
- Refrigerators and freezers
- Shelving, drawers, and storage
- Refreshment centers
- Bar seating
- Fire tables
- Sinks
- Stone fireplaces
We can also help integrate your outdoor kitchen into a full outdoor living space that includes patios, lighting, seating areas, privacy features, and surrounding landscape design.
Your outdoor kitchen should be built around how you actually want to use the space. For some homeowners, that means a cozy fire table area for casual evenings outside. For others, it means a fully featured entertaining space with a built-in grill, refreshment center, back-lit shelves, bar seating, wine coolers, and plenty of refrigerator and freezer storage. Whether you’re planning small family dinners, weekend BBQs, or regular gatherings with a larger group, we help create a custom outdoor kitchen with the modern, stylish, and practical features that matter most to you.
Outdoor Kitchens for Residential, Commercial & New Construction
Some clients want a clean and simple BBQ island for weeknight dinners. Others want a fully stocked outdoor kitchen with bar seating, a sink, stone fireplace, wine cooler, fridge, and freezer space for regular entertaining. We design for both ends of that range, and everything in between — homeowners building a new backyard from scratch, families upgrading an existing patio, and property owners who host often and want a space built for real use, not just for show.
If you want to elevate the entertainment value and style of your backyard, a custom outdoor kitchen is one of the best ways to do it. Outdoor kitchen styles, colours, and layouts can be just as varied as indoor kitchen designs, and we work with each client to choose the combination of features, finishes, and materials that feels like a natural extension of their home, not an afterthought bolted onto the patio.
How We Build Outdoor Kitchens
Every property is different, and every outdoor kitchen should be designed to fit the space it belongs in. We take the time to understand how you want to entertain, how much cooking space you need, what features matter most to you, and how the kitchen should connect with the rest of your yard. That process is what makes the finished space look great, function properly, and feel like part of the bigger picture — not an add-on.
Outdoor kitchens are typically built around a large grill and include counter space, cabinets, and storage. Depending on the project, they can also include a sink connected to the outdoor water system, a refrigerator, a stone fireplace, seating areas, and integrated hardscape or patio features. Outdoor kitchen styles, colours, and layouts can be just as varied as indoor kitchen designs — we help you choose the right combination of features, finishes, and materials so the final space feels like a natural extension of your home.
If you’re planning a new backyard build or upgrading an existing patio or outdoor living area, our team can plan, design, and install an outdoor kitchen that brings everything together into one cohesive space.

Trusted By Okanagan Homeowners
“Kalagan did an outstanding job on our major landscaping project that included two sets of stone steps, a large water feature, paving stone patio, several plant beds, irrigation system and lighting effects. Taylor brought a wealth of knowledge and ideas to the design process and was easy to work with. Communication was strong throughout the project and we heartily recommend Kalagan for your landscaping project.”
“Kalagan Outdoor Design completely gutted our backyard, then installed irrigation, new lawn, trees, shrubs, rock bordered planting areas and a new stone patio. We are absolutely delighted with the result. It far exceeded our expectations which were quite ambitious from the start. The entire team was a pleasure to work with — professional, courteous, creative and hard working.”
“Taylor and his crew of expert landscapers did a fantastic job. I had a retaining wall that was falling down and they rebuilt it much better than was done before. They were very courteous and listened to my concerns and needs, and their work exceeded my expectations. I would recommend Kalagan Outdoor Design to anyone wanting professional landscaping done in Vernon.”
Common Questions About Outdoor Kitchens
What’s included in a typical outdoor kitchen build?
Most outdoor kitchens are built around a large grill and include counter space, cabinets, and storage. From there, many clients add a sink connected to the outdoor water system, a refrigerator, a stone fireplace, bar seating, and integrated hardscape or patio features. We’ll help you decide what to include based on how you actually plan to use the space.
Can you build a simple BBQ island instead of a full kitchen?
Yes. Some clients want a clean, simple BBQ island, while others want a fully stocked outdoor kitchen with bar seating, a wine cooler, and freezer space. We design to fit your budget and how you entertain, not a one-size-fits-all package.
What materials do you use for countertops and surfaces?
Granite is one of our most requested countertop materials for its durability and finish, and we work with a range of stone and masonry finishes to match your home’s style. We’ll walk you through options during design.
Will my outdoor kitchen hold up through Okanagan winters?
We design and build with materials and construction methods suited to our climate, and our team will talk through any seasonal care specific to the features you choose, such as plumbed sinks or refrigeration, during your consultation.
Can an outdoor kitchen be added to an existing patio?
Yes. Whether you’re building a new backyard from scratch or upgrading an existing patio or outdoor living area, we can plan, design, and install an outdoor kitchen that connects with what’s already there.
Do you offer financing for outdoor kitchen projects?
Financing starting as low as 0% interest is available. Ask about current options during your consultation.
How long does an outdoor kitchen project take from design to completion?
Timelines depend on scope — a simple BBQ island moves faster than a full outdoor kitchen with plumbing, refrigeration, and stonework. During your consultation, we’ll walk through your design and give you a realistic schedule before any work begins.
Do I need permits for an outdoor kitchen?
It depends on the scope of the project, especially where gas lines, electrical, or plumbing are involved. Our team handles the permitting and inspection process as part of the build, so you don’t have to navigate it on your own.
Related Services & Areas We Serve
An outdoor kitchen is often just one piece of a larger outdoor living plan. Many of our clients pair it with a paver patio to anchor the space, outdoor lighting to extend evenings, and a 3D landscape design to make sure it all fits together before construction begins. We build custom outdoor kitchens for homeowners throughout Vernon, Kelowna, Predator Ridge, Lakestone, and Upper Mission Kelowna.
