The weather in central Indiana is warming and the days are getting longer, meaning there is no better time to get outside and enjoy your backyard. That is, assuming you’ve already got any or all of the following – a patio, pergola, outdoor fireplace or outdoor kitchen. If you don’t, that’s where Indy Grills comes into play.

Based out of Lebanon, Indiana with a state-of-the-art showroom, Indy Grills is a luxury patio builder and fireplace expert that designs, builds, and furnishes outdoor living spaces. The showroom has everything for you to get inspired to imagine the possibilities for your backyard, from fireplaces, grills, and outdoor kitchens to custom patios.

So, stop putting off that outdoor project. We’ve outlined a few ideas for you below.

Outdoor Kitchen

Elevate your backyard grilling experience and put away the propane cart for good. Indy Grills builds outdoor kitchens that pair the right appliances with stone, counter space, storage, and seating. Their showroom features a full lineup of grills, smokers, griddles, and pizza ovens, so you can actually lift the lids in person to see what you’re working with before any plans are drawn and come to life.

If you book a build now, depending on the size of the project, there’s a good chance you could be hosting cookouts on the Fourth of July, Labor Day weekend, or college football Saturdays in the fall. 

Indoor or Outdoor Fireplace

Indiana summers are glorious, but sadly they don’t last forever. A wise move for your outdoor project would be to add something that works in the spring, summer, and fall, like an indoor or outdoor fireplace. The good news? Indy Grills specializes in both, plus infrared heating.

Imagine cozying up next to an outdoor fireplace connected to your patio or sitting in your sunroom by a gas fireplace and heaters. No matter what you’re envisioning, Indy Grills handles the design, permitting, build, and furnishing, meaning you won’t need to book multiple subcontractors and place an order for furniture. Lock in a build slot now and you can be roasting marshmallows and making s’mores before the leaves turn.

Patio with a Pergola or Roof

We all know those late summer days where the sun is blazing, and the back patio becomes too hot to enjoy. That's where shade can become your best friend. Indy Grills designs custom patios that can come build pergolas or an entire roof structure, which makes a big difference in you looking at your backyard escape from inside your air-conditioned home versus actually stepping outside and enjoying your outdoor space. While a pergola provides partial shade, a roof structure over your patio will keep the furniture dry and your family and friends cooler. Choose what’s best for you.

Booking a custom patio project now gives Indy Grills ample time for the project to be completed before the holidays. It also pairs nicely with the first two projects mentioned above. A pergola over an outdoor kitchen, a roofed patio near a fireplace… the options and packages are endless at Indy Grills.
