BBQ Islands in College Station, TX
Built-in BBQ islands — a grill set into a stone or block counter with storage underneath, sized for a patio that is already there. We work across College Station — Southwood Valley, Pebble Creek, Castlegate and the surrounding area.

Why people call about this.
You want counter space, not a full kitchen
A place to set a tray down next to the grill covers most of what people are missing.
The patio is already built
An island can go on a sound existing patio without tearing anything up.
The rolling grill looks temporary
Building it in cleans up the patio and protects the grill from the weather.
COLLEGE STATION, TX
BBQ Islands in College Station: what’s different here.
College Station is the larger half of the Bryan–College Station metro, a city of about 120,500 people (2020 census) built around Texas A&M University. It grew fast after World War II and is still growing south, so yards range from decades-old lots near campus to new subdivisions toward Greens Prairie and Wellborn. Fences, decks, pools, and other residential projects are permitted through the City of College Station Planning & Development Services Building Division at 1101 Texas Avenue, HOA neighborhoods usually need architectural approval first, and utilities get marked through Texas811 before any digging.
Outdoor Living in College Station
Many homes have a small builder slab off the back door, and extending it into a covered patio or outdoor kitchen is the most common way to make a College Station backyard usable through the summer.
The ground
Brazos County uplands are mostly claypan and clay soils that swell when wet and shrink when dry, so anything built on the ground here needs a properly excavated and compacted base and a plan for where the water goes.
Homes and lots
Older ranch homes with mature oaks in Southwood Valley and Emerald Forest, a large stock of student rentals near campus, and newer HOA subdivisions such as Castlegate and Pebble Creek on tighter, flatter lots.
