Outdoor Barbecue Areas
An outdoor barbecue area should be built to work, not just look good in photos.
Citiscapes designs and builds BBQ setups that are functional, properly ventilated, and finished with materials that hold up to Arizona heat and regular use.
How an outdoor BBQ area is built: The process starts with a design plan covering placement, gas line routing, and the structural frame — typically steel stud or CMU block. The frame is built, then finished with stone, stucco, or tile. Countertops are measured, cut, and set. Gas, electrical, and any plumbing connections are made by licensed tradespeople. The grill unit, side burners, and accessories are installed last, with proper ventilation clearances confirmed before the area goes live.
Citiscapes designs and builds custom outdoor BBQ areas for homeowners across Phoenix, Scottsdale, and Paradise Valley. Whether you want a simple built-in grill island or a full outdoor entertainment setup with a bar, refrigerator, and TV, we handle everything from the initial layout to the final gas hookup.
A well-built BBQ island starts with the right structural frame. Most of our builds use a steel stud or CMU block base that won't shift or crack over time. The wrong framing material in an Arizona climate shows up quickly — usually as a cracked countertop or loose finish within a couple of years.
We work with a wide range of finishes: stacked stone, stucco, porcelain tile, and natural travertine.
Countertops are typically granite or porcelain — both handle heat, UV exposure, and outdoor use without the upkeep issues you'd see with other materials. Every component is selected with Phoenix's climate in mind.
Gas, electrical, and plumbing connections are handled by licensed tradespeople we've worked with for years. We coordinate the full scope so you're not managing multiple contractors on your own.
