Greenwood was laid out in 1867 and named for the elm trees that once lined the area, and today it sits on the Jackson-Cass county line about 20 miles southeast of Kansas City. Its newer subdivisions tend to have the larger backyards that support a full outdoor kitchen with bar seating and a covered structure.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a permit to build an outdoor kitchen in Independence, MO?

Yes — gas and electrical work on an outdoor kitchen requires separate trade permits from the City of Independence regardless of whether the structure itself needs a building permit, and adding any roof turns it into a full building permit as well. We pull all of these as part of the job.

How much does a built-in grill island cost in Independence?

A basic built-in grill island typically runs $3,000 to $10,000 installed, while a full custom outdoor kitchen with sink, refrigeration, and bar seating runs $25,000 to $60,000. We confirm final pricing with a written quote after the on-site estimate.

Can I add a gas line to an existing patio for an outdoor kitchen?

In most cases yes, extending from your home's existing gas service, but it requires a licensed installer and a City of Independence inspection since it's a permanent gas connection. We handle the full permit and installation as part of the job.

What areas do you serve around Independence?

Independence, Blue Springs, Grain Valley, Sugar Creek, Oak Grove, and the rest of Jackson County, MO.

My home is older — can it support a new outdoor kitchen?

Sometimes existing gas and electrical service in older Independence homes needs an upgrade before it can support new outdoor kitchen appliances. We check your home's existing service capacity during the free on-site estimate before finalizing a design.

Do you build pizza ovens too?

Yes, both wood-fired and gas-fired, either built into a kitchen island or as a standalone feature, with the venting and clearance planned correctly for the structure it's attached to.

What's the difference between a grill island and a full outdoor kitchen?

A grill island is the grill and a counter, no plumbing. A full outdoor kitchen adds a sink and refrigeration, which brings in a plumbing permit alongside the gas and electrical permits.
