12 Years, Zero Repairs: A Crown Verity Backyard in Toronto

Set in the beautiful, tree-lined Leaside neighbourhood of Toronto, Ali, a proud Crown Verity owner, knew exactly what he wanted when it came time to build his dream backyard. As a seasoned entertainer and passionate outdoor cook, he’d already experienced the durability and performance of Crown Verity products at his previous home in Oakville and wanted the same experience at their new house.

A centerpiece for outdoor lifestyles

After purchasing their home in Toronto twelve years ago, Ali and his family had envisioned a backyard designed for year-round entertaining. Working with a trusted contractor upon purchase, they created an elegant outdoor space built around a Crown Verity grill, a centerpiece they specifically chose after years of trying (and replacing) other grills.

“We went through so many barbecue brands. The first season, first snowfall, they’d fall apart. When we got our Crown Verity in Oakville, everything changed.”

From spring through fall, and even into snowy winter evenings, their Crown Verity grill became an extension of their home. Whether it was breakfast on a cast-iron pan or Christmas turkey slow-roasting on their rotisserie kit, their Crown Verity setup has handled every meal and party with ease.

• Used Daily
  The grill is their primary cooking surface from early spring to late fall—and even during winter months.

• Year-Round Use
  In the winter, they clear the snow, fire up the grill, and enjoy meals by the hot tub.

• High-Volume Events
  Hosting up to 60 guests in their backyard, the grill has never failed them.

• Go-To Meals
  They enjoy steaks, chicken, rotisserie turkey, and even breakfast, outside.

Unmatched durability

What sets this installation apart? The fact that after 12 years of constant use, not a single part needed to be replaced—the grill still performs like the day it was installed. No rust, no wear and tear, just flawless heat control.

“People see the grill and ask, ‘Is that new?’ The ignition still works. Nothing has broken. Nothing looks old. It’s engineered for cooking... everything has a purpose.”

A backyard investment worth making

When designing an outdoor kitchen for $60k-$80k, quality matters. Ali believes the grill should match the calibre of the overall space, that it’s not just a grill purchase... it’s far beyond that. Your backyard deserves something that lasts.
