Outdoor kitchen masonry in Fargo ND - a stone grill island built around your equipment
Tired of wheeling the grill out every spring? We build a block island faced in stone, with room left for gas, water and power.
What does it take to build an outdoor kitchen in Fargo?
Outdoor kitchen masonry in Fargo means we build a block base for your grill and counters, leave room for the plumber and electrician to run their lines, and then finish the outside in stone, so you end up with a cooking island that stays put on your patio.
Most people who call us have a patio they already use and a grill they're tired of rolling around, and they'd like something built in. The price moves with the size of the island, how much stone goes on it, the equipment you're building in and how far the gas, water and power have to come, while the schedule turns on the weather, the pause between our block work and the stone while the lines go in, and whether the city wants a permit. If you'd like a path out to it from the back door, we can plan walkway construction at the same time, and the written estimate I give you after my visit has the figure for your own yard.
Why homeowners choose us for outdoor kitchen masonry
You can count on a plain explanation of what we'd build and why, and on an island that suits your house and yard instead of fighting them.
I look at it myself
I come out to see your yard and write the estimate, so the person pricing the job is the person running it.
Our crew, with me on site
Our own crew builds your kitchen, and I'm on the job with them from the block base to the last stone.
In business since 2017
I started this business in 2017, after learning the trade working beside an experienced mason in the Fargo area.
Licensed and insured for your job
We're licensed and insured, and I'm glad to answer any question about it before you decide on anything.
Built to your grill's guide
We work from the maker's guide for the grill or equipment you're building in, so the openings and materials match what it asks for.
Kinds of outdoor kitchen masonry we build
The equipment you're building in decides a lot, because its maker's guide sets the openings and materials. After that, it comes down to how you cook and how much patio you have.

How Masoncraft Fargo Concrete and Masonry builds an outdoor kitchen
It starts with a visit, and I'd sooner tell you a simple grill island will do than sell you a full kitchen you won't use. I look at the patio, the house and where your lines would come from, then explain what I'd build and why before I ask you to agree to anything.
We build the block base first, leave the space your plumber and electrician need, and settle with you up front who lines them up for that window so the stone isn't left waiting. Then we face it in stone that suits your house, and the work is backed by our satisfaction guarantee.
Outdoor kitchen questions we hear
How much does an outdoor kitchen cost to build in Fargo?
It comes down to the size of the island, how much stone goes on it, what you're building in and how far the utility lines have to reach, so I don't quote a figure before I've seen your yard. A single grill island costs less than a long run with a sink and fridge, and your countertop choice moves it too. Ask for an estimate and I'll write up your figure after the visit.
What is the best time of year to build an outdoor kitchen in Fargo?
Masonry industry guidance treats 40° to 90°F as normal building weather, with no special steps or protection needed, so a Fargo build planned for that stretch keeps things simple. Later in the year, the masonry has to go on a base clear of snow and ice, because the base moving as it thaws will crack the work, so we don't start until it's cleared.
How do I find out if my outdoor kitchen needs a permit in Fargo?
Ask the city's Inspections Department, which enforces Fargo's building, electrical and plumbing codes, and request any permit through the city's License and Permit Portal. If you hire us, we check with the city before we start, handle the paperwork when one is needed and tell you what we found.
Does a contractor need a license to build an outdoor kitchen in North Dakota?
Yes, once a job's cost, value or price is over $4,000, North Dakota requires a contractor license from the Secretary of State. A job can need other licenses as well, such as from the State Electrical Board or the State Plumbing Board, and the plumbing board lists plumbers who hold a valid North Dakota license, so you can check your plumber before work starts.
What do I need to do before digging for an outdoor kitchen in North Dakota?
The state requires a call to 1-800-795-0555 at least two business days before you dig, so buried utility lines can be marked. We plan the start date around that wait.
Does a built-in gas grill need vents in a masonry island?
Some do, and one grill maker's guide requires vent holes at the top and bottom of the structure so there's ventilation if gas ever leaks. Check the guide for your own grill, and we'll build the vents where it calls for them.
