How Should You Lay Out an Outdoor Kitchen in Keller?
Three layouts cover almost every Keller build. The L-shape is the most common in DFW. Layout drives cost more than any single appliance — a U-shape runs about 30% more per foot than a straight run because corners mean mitred stone ends and more foundation, not markup.
Straight run
Narrow side yards and covered patios where the kitchen sits against one wall.
The most cook space per dollar — no corners to cut, pour, or finish.
L-shape
The most common DFW build — separates the hot zone from prep and gives you a corner to seat people at.
One corner adds mitred stone ends and extra foundation, so the per-foot cost rises about 15%.
U-shape
Open backyards where the kitchen is the destination and the cook stays inside the work triangle.
Two corners and three finished runs — roughly 30% more per foot than a straight run.
