You want to have a gas grill put on your property, and you've been thinking a built in grill will meet your needs best. A built in grill varies from other backyard grills in one main way: the grill itself is stationary and built into the rock or other outdoor wall and cannot be relocated elsewhere in the yard.

Before you invest in outdoor built in gas grills for your home, consider whether this option is best for your property. Your construction contractor will devise a built in space for your new gas grill to reside so your yard and patio is given a streamlined and modern appeal. Should you have an outdoor built in gas grill installed in your property? Use this guide to assist you.

Your budget allows for this hardscaping expense

Installing outdoor built in gas grills involves more than just investing in the grill, it involves investing in the contractor to install a brick or other retaining-style wall for the built in gas grill to reside. Flooring or a patio design is also needed to make the built in grill most beneficial. In general, expect to pay at least $1,000 or more for the grill, then several hundred dollars for flooring and other expenses. A complete outdoor grill and kitchen design can cost you upwards of $3,000.

If you have a smaller budget than a full built in grill will allow, speak to your contractor about cheaper flooring and wall options or possibly install a more basic built in grill to come closer to your budget allowance.

Your yard has the space

Do you have the right amount of space in your yard for a built in grill and other outdoor kitchen equipment? Your contractor will help you go over your landscape to see where these hardscape features can be placed. If you have a smaller yard but you want to put in this type of feature, then ask your contractor about compact outdoor built in gas grills to see if they can meet your yard's square footage allowance more than other types of outdoor kitchen features will.

Note: before having any outdoor built in gas grill installed, make sure you have this type of delivery service in your area. You have electric, charcoal, and gas options for an outdoor built in grill to consider if you want to keep your options open. Your contractor will assist you in selecting the best outdoor built in gas grill for your needs and outdoor kitchen project.
