BBQ Islands in Copperas Cove, TX
Compact built-in BBQ islands — a grill set into a masonry base with counter space and storage, smaller and quicker than a full kitchen. We work across Copperas Cove — House Creek North, Colonial Park, South Meadows and the surrounding area.

Why people call about this.
You want the grill built in, not a whole kitchen
An island gets you most of the use for a fraction of the size.
There is nowhere to set anything down
Counter on both sides of the grill is the whole point.
The grill is an eyesore
A finished base makes it look like part of the patio.
COPPERAS COVE, TX
BBQ Islands in Copperas Cove: what’s different here.
Copperas Cove is a city of about 36,700 people (2020 census), mostly in Coryell County with parts in Bell and Lampasas counties, on the western side of Fort Hood. It grew from a cattle and railroad town into a military community after Camp Hood opened in 1942, and much of its housing was built for Fort Hood families. Permits inside the city go through the City of Copperas Cove, lots outside it fall under the county, rentals are common, and it is the far western end of our area, so visits are planned around the drive.
Outdoor Living in Copperas Cove
Many Copperas Cove homes are in newer subdivisions with modest backyards, so outdoor kitchens and seating are usually compact patio-based layouts.
The ground
Copperas Cove sits about 1,125 feet up in the hilly Limestone Cut Plain, the “Five Hills” area between the Lampasas River and Cowhouse Creek, so soils are often thin and rocky with mesquite and live oak on the lots.
Homes and lots
Established neighborhoods such as Colonial Park, newer builder subdivisions like House Creek North (built mostly 2004–2012 on lots around a fifth of an acre), and acreage subdivisions on the edges of town.
