Custom Outdoor Kitchens in Katy, Fulshear & Greater Houston

Custom outdoor kitchens designed for entertaining, functionality, and seamless outdoor living.

An outdoor kitchen transforms your outdoor living space into a true extension of your home—creating a place to cook, gather, and entertain outdoors. At Sunset Pools, we design custom outdoor kitchens that integrate seamlessly with pools, patios, and covered structures while balancing performance, durability, and refined design.

Proudly designing and building custom outdoor kitchens in Katy, Fulshear, Cypress, Richmond, and throughout Greater Houston.

What Is a Custom Outdoor Kitchen?

A custom outdoor kitchen is a permanently built cooking and entertaining space designed specifically for outdoor use. Unlike prefabricated grill islands, custom outdoor kitchens are tailored in layout, materials, appliances, and finishes to complement the overall outdoor living design.

Outdoor kitchens can range from simple grill stations to fully equipped spaces for hosting and entertaining.

Materials & Durability

When required, we coordinate with licensed professionals to support plumbing, gas, or electrical requirements.

Cost Considerations

The cost of a custom outdoor kitchen varies based on size, appliance selection, materials, and integration with other outdoor features.

During your design consultation, we’ll walk through options clearly, so you understand how design choices impact the overall project investment.

“We had a fantastic experience with Sunset! They were professional, timely and listened to our wants and needs when it came to the design, questions throughout the build and accommodating for life as the process pushed forward. Adam designed exactly what my dreams had in mind and Frank was a top-notch project manager, consistently checking that things were not only completed but completed correctly and catching any issues immediately so they could be rectified and was always responsive within minutes when I’d reach out. My kids and I now have the pool we’ve always wanted and I’d recommend Sunset to anyone building a pool!”
