We build outdoor kitchens and BBQ islands across Las Vegas, from Summerlin out to Boulder City, and we have a dedicated page for outdoor kitchens in Henderson. Ours are masonry, so the core is concrete block on a footing instead of a bolt-together steel frame. That core carries the veneer and the counter, with openings framed for the grill and doors. Our own jobs include stone islands with built-in grills, outdoor kitchens with bar seating, brick fireplaces, and pizza ovens. Ram Masonry LLC has worked this trade since 2014, and estimates are free anywhere in the valley. Call (702) 769-4416 and tell us what you cook on.
Most calls start the same way. There is a bare slab or a paver patio, and a grill on a cart. You want a real place to cook, plus a counter people can sit at. We look at the patio and at where gas and power already run. Then we lay out an island that fits the space and the way you cook. Sun and shade shape the layout as much as the appliance list does. A west-facing counter in July goes unused, so we plan seating around the afternoon sun.

Every island starts with what it sits on, because block and stone get heavy fast. We check the slab or paver patio first, then chalk the footprint and set the base course. The core goes up in concrete block, cut and reinforced, with openings framed for the grill and doors. Nothing about that core rusts or warps, and it does not care how hot July gets.
Once the core is up, we check the appliance openings against the real specs. Every grill brand has its own cutout size, so we build to the model you bought. Veneer comes next, in stacked stone or stucco, matched to the house. The counter goes on last, usually granite, cut with the overhang your bar stools need.
A full outdoor kitchen is the same build, just longer. Add a bar return with seating, plus counter space for a fridge and a side burner. We frame stone TV walls into the layout too, and leave clean space for patio heaters. Gas and electric runs get coordinated with licensed trades, and we build so their lines land right.
The grill season here never really ends, and a fireplace or fire pit beside the island carries the patio through winter. We build those in the same block and veneer as the kitchen, with the firebox laid in firebrick and the gas run by a licensed trade. Pizza ovens go up as their own masonry dome on a hearth next to the counter. What a fireplace adds to the budget is in our guide to what an outdoor fireplace costs in the valley.
The fire side of the build, from wood versus gas to county burn rules and what each feature costs, is covered on our masonry fireplaces, fire pits and pizza ovens page. Plan the two together and the footings, gas stubs and veneer get done in one pass.
Prefab island kits arrive on a pallet and bolt together in a day. They cost less at the start, and Las Vegas sun is hard on them. Metal frames and stainless panels get searing hot on a west-facing patio in summer. Kit pricing also leaves out the counter and the utility work, so the gap narrows.
A masonry island is block and mortar under stone, so heat and UV do not bother it. It also gets built to your patio instead of to a catalog size. Odd angles and bar returns are layout work here, not a special order part. The tradeoff is time, because footing, block, veneer and grout each need their own day.
We price each island off the layout, not off a square foot rule. Size sets the block and the counter, and the appliance list sets most of the rest. A single grill island with a granite top usually lands in the low thousands. A full outdoor kitchen with several appliances and a fireplace runs into five figures.
The appliance list moves the number most, because every grill, fridge or sink needs its own opening and power. Veneer is next, and stacked stone takes longer to set than stucco. Counters follow, since granite pricing swings with the slab you pick. Utility work sits on its own line, and the licensed trade doing it sets that price.
Ram Masonry LLC has built here since 2014, with decades of hands-on masonry behind the company. The crew that lays out your island is the crew that builds it. We hold Nevada masonry license C-18, number 0080771, and we are bonded and insured.
We cover Las Vegas and the whole valley, out to Henderson, Summerlin, Enterprise and Boulder City. North Las Vegas, Paradise, Spring Valley, Sunrise Manor, Whitney and Winchester are regular ground for us. Estimates are free, and we will tell you what your patio can take before we quote it.

Free, no-obligation estimates across Las Vegas and the whole valley.
(702) 769-4416From the first look at the site to the final walk-through, here is exactly how it goes.
Call or send the form, and photos by text get a fast first read. For a firm number we come out, measure the run, and check what sits under the job: grade, access, caliche, old work.
You get a written price and timeline before any work starts. If a permit or engineering applies, the estimate says so. Repair and rebuild get quoted as separate numbers when both are on the table.
Footings dug to bearing and inspected, rebar and grout in the cells, base compacted before concrete, mortar kept from drying too fast in the heat. The parts you never see get built like the parts you do.
We walk the finished work with you: walls plumb, joints full, slabs draining the right way, site cleaned up. Done means you have looked at every part of it and said so.
