Get the family outside and enjoying the outdoors at meal time -the perfect opportunity for gathering, socializing, and building cherished memories without leaving home.
Covered patios and pergolas, comfortable outdoor furniture, and cozy upgrades like an outdoor fire pit can turn any corner of your patio into a comfortable lounge area.
A great outdoor kitchen can transform an ordinary backyard into an extraordinary entertaining space. Adding an outdoor kitchen can also increase your property value significantly.
Here’s how an outdoor kitchen enhances your lifestyle -and your wallet:
Kitchens are where the family hangs out. With an outdoor kitchen, your family will spend more time in your backyard, putting more of your property to good use.
With an outdoor kitchen, your backyard also becomes an additional room for hosting gatherings, celebrating special occasions or just enjoying a quiet evening under the stars.
A well-designed outdoor kitchen optimizes your property’s square footage with more functional zones for cooking, dining, and lounging.
And upgrading with a custom pergola above your outdoor kitchen provides shade and helps to turn the outdoor kitchen into a centerpiece for your backyard.
Modern outdoor kitchens include essential amenities like built-in grills, prep stations, refrigerators, and sinks. Everything stays within arm’s reach while you’re grilling burgers or tossing fresh pizzas in the outdoor oven.
The open-air setting keeps cooking odors outside while providing your family and friends an immersive dining experience.
A well-designed outdoor kitchen increases property value and makes your home more attractive to potential buyers.
Quality materials and a unique, eye-catching design ensure your investment is usable for many years without losing its value.
Fresh air and natural light make outdoor cooking naturally more active and energizing. Grilling or smoking techniques require less oil than typical stovetop or oven cooking methods.
Plus, the relaxed outdoor environment is perfect for mindful eating and quality time with family and friends. And with your kitchen outdoors, it’s easy to plant organic herbs and other edible plants close at hand.
Cooking at home costs 40% less than dining out on average and preparing meals outdoors turns ordinary weeknight dinners into special occasions.
You’ll actually save money while turning mealtime into an experience.
Outdoor kitchens create natural gathering spaces that keep families close-knit.
Sunlight and fresh air are invigorating and your kids will appreciate being able to play in the yard and help out in the kitchen.
Weekly family cookouts become cherished traditions that create lasting memories. Your outdoor kitchen will almost certainly become the center of family life.
Clark Outdoor Designs has completed many pergola construction projects in Frisco, TX; in communities like Starwood, Richwood, The Grove, and others.
In Frisco, properties range from zero-lot homes, where space is at a premium and only a small patio and pergola are possible, to sprawling ranches with options for both attached and freestanding pergola installations.
Check out samples of the many pergolas we’ve built in the Frisco area in our gallery of work.
Outdoor kitchens are one of the most requested outdoor features for their popularity with friends and family, and their excellent return on investment. Here are some great ideas for your custom outdoor kitchen design:
Create a grillmaster’s paradise with a pergola-covered grilling station. A pergola will provide shade while you cook, making it possible to cook outdoors even in the heat of the summer.
The overhead coverage protects your premium grill and appliances from the elements, and you can integrate lighting to set whatever the mood just the way you want.
Flow easily between cooking and entertaining with an open concept outdoor kitchen. This type of design removes barriers between the chef and guests, creating a social hub in your backyard.
A large island with bar seating in the center bridges the cooking and dining areas. Homeowners love this layout for encouraging conversation while hosts can easily do their thing and stay included at the same time.
Your outdoor cooking game gets a big upgrade with a custom pizza oven installation. This feature can easily become the centerpiece of your outdoor kitchen, both for its visual appeal and culinary possibilities.
Beyond perfect pizzas, use your wood-fired oven for roasting meats, baking bread, or creating smoky vegetables. A stone pizza oven’s rustic charm brings old-world craftsmanship to your modern Frisco backyard in a way that your friends and family will appreciate.
Combine function and beauty with a trellised pergola covering your outdoor kitchen. Allow climbing plants to create natural shade and privacy while adding beauty and lushness overhead.
The dappled light that filters through the leaves of the climbing plants creates a magical atmosphere for cooking and entertaining. As the vines mature, they’ll transform your outdoor kitchen into a lush garden retreat.
This living canopy provides cooling shade during hot Texas summers while adding seasonal color and year-round life to your outdoor living space.
Extend your outdoor cooking season with an integrated fireplace design. This dual-purpose feature is both a magnificent centerpiece and provides warmth on cooler evenings. Position your kitchen and fireplace as complementary elements that work together to create an all-season entertainment zone.
The dancing flames create ambiance while you cook, and guests naturally gather around the fire after meals.
This combination transforms your backyard into a year-round retreat for everything from intimate dinners to larger gatherings -and it’s perfect for larger outdoor spaces.
Create a custom look with stone veneer cabinetry enhanced by decorative tile accents. This combination offers endless design possibilities. The natural stone look provides a classy backdrop, and the accent tiles add personality, style, and color.
Choose from limestone, travertine, or manufactured stone options paired with ceramic, porcelain, or glass tile details. This timeless approach creates a kitchen that feels both luxurious and gives you options for integrating with your landscape design.

When homeowners are considering adding an outdoor kitchen to their Frisco homes, these are the most common questions they ask before starting their backyard renovation.
Here’s what you need to know about creating the perfect outdoor cooking space:
The cost of an outdoor kitchen depends as much on the appliances you choose as the construction itself.
And the size, and layout, are also contributing factors to the costs, so it’s impossible to provide an estimate that’ll be accurate for your situation without speaking with you and assessing your space first.
But, generally speaking, an outdoor kitchen is going to run you anywhere from $25,000 to well over $100,000 depending on your tastes and the features you want.
Natural and manufactured stone are the most popular materials for outdoor kitchen construction in Frisco. Stone is highly durable and able to withstand Texas weather while also looking great for decades. Marine-grade stainless steel cabinets resist rust and corrosion. Granite countertops handle extreme temperatures beautifully. Concrete pavers or natural stone flooring provide stable, non-slip surfaces that complement the overall design. Even brick, when properly maintained, is a strong -and attractive- material for outdoor kitchen construction.
A cover will help protect your outdoor kitchen investment from wear and tear from the harsh Texas weather. Custom pergolas offer partial shade but still maintain an open-air feel, making them perfect for the task.
Solid roofing extends usage during rain and provides shade on scorching summer days (and protects your appliances). Even simple overhead structures can offer protection without ruining your design.
Outdoor kitchens are enjoyable throughout most of the year in Frisco, especially with a little overhead protection. Windbreaks and outdoor heaters can help extend the cooking season through cooler months, if necessary.
Outdoor kitchen projects in Frisco do typically require building permits. Local codes govern gas line installations, electrical work and plumbing connections. Additionally, HOA approval might be necessary in some neighborhoods. Working with licensed contractors guarantees your project meets all safety standards and permit requirements.
“What a great experience overall. They transformed our outdoor space. Matt and his team were great. They made sure we were completely satisfied before taking the final payment. He has also been around to answer a few follow-up questions and add some details to our outdoor kitchen after completion. Highly recommend!”
“We called Clark Outdoor Designs and Bailey came out to give us an estimate. Did some research and looked at some of his teams work and knew they were going to be the ones for the job. Two days and they were done. Such attention to detail and the finished product is amazing. Only wish I would have chosen them for the fence as well.”
“We had a good experience with Clark Outdoor Designs. They provided computer images of what the final result would look like – we have worked with several larger contractors and no one has ever provided renderings like that so it made a difference in our choice. He was patient in answering our questions and re-working the estimate until we landed on exactly what we wanted.”
