Cody and his entire crew exhibit professionalism, courtesy and timeliness. They went above and beyond to make sure I was happy with each job.
As the project progressed, I added other jobs and was immediately accommodated. I recommend MCM without reservation.

After having a horrible pool builder experience and a lifting pool deck after 2 years, we hired MCM to completely take up our cool deck and lay a new travertine tile surround and it looks amazing!!!
A cracked skimmer basket was also repaired in the process and my pool has never looked better.
Thank you so much. We have made several referrals to your company and will continue to let people know what amazing work your team does.

MCM did a great job on my pool/patio combo. Very good communication and fast timeline.
MCM came back out 6 months later to fix some stone and replace polysand. They stand by their work.
Pool Building Case studies In Texas
Raised Infinity Spa Pool in Prosper, TX
This backyard project was designed to combine relaxation with luxury appeal. The highlight of the build was a raised infinity spa, fully tiled for a sleek and modern finish. The spa flowed seamlessly into the pool design, while integrated water features added movement and sound for a resort-style atmosphere.
To make the experience effortless for the homeowners, we installed full automation, allowing them to control everything from the water temperature to lighting with the push of a button. The tile work was a major focal point, elevating the entire outdoor aesthetic.
The full project was completed for $110,000, with $20,000 of that investment going into the infinity spa and tiled exterior alone.
Pool with Tanning Ledge in Frisco, TX
In Frisco, TX, we created a backyard retreat focused on relaxation and entertainment. This custom pool featured a raised spa and an oversized tanning ledge, giving the homeowners a place to soak, lounge, and enjoy time outdoors in style. The design was further elevated with custom mosaic tiles, chosen to complement the home and add a unique artistic touch.
Extended sitting ledges around the pool created even more functional space for gatherings with friends and family. The end result was a pool that not only looked stunning but also added comfort and versatility for everyday use.
The project cost totaled $135,000, with the raised spa and tanning ledges alone valued at $25,000.
Small Plunge Pool with Water Feature
Even in smaller backyards, a pool can deliver a big impact. For this project, we designed and built a compact plunge pool that was both refreshing and visually impressive. The centerpiece was an oversized stone water feature, creating the relaxing sound of flowing water while adding a dramatic backdrop to the pool.
Silver flagstone was used to give the project a custom, high-end finish, and the layout was carefully planned to maximize the available space without overwhelming the yard. This thoughtful design turned a simple space into a private oasis where the homeowners could relax after a long day.
The project was completed for $79,000, with the custom water feature itself accounting for $9,000 of the total cost.

We could not be happier with MCM! From the initial visit to discuss our project through completion they have been fantastic.
Ronnie Goldsmith has been great dealing with our rough concepts and offering suggestions and advice. When we decided to make a change half way through the project, they were most accommodating and easy to work with.
Their crews go the extra mile and even did some brush clean out on the site which greatly improved appearance.
5 stars in our book!

Cody and Mike were great! They were timely, very helpful and professional! They asked what I was looking for and offered several options and price points to help me achieve that desired project.
I asked for their suggestions and ideas to help improve my space as well and really liked their ideas.

I would highly recommend them!

They are always responsive, on time, managed all of the work start to finish, sent updates on progress and addressed any changes or concerns quickly.

We used MCM Outdoor Living to extend our patio with travertine pavers. I can’t speak highly enough of this company and the people that work there! From start to finish, we had nothing but the best experience working with them.
Sales Rep Experience – Our awesome sales rep, Ronnie, showed up on time and delivered a competitive quote that did not change as the project progressed (this has sadly happened to us more than once with other companies). Anytime I had a question, I would e-mail or text Ronnie and received a reply back within 10 minutes or less (surprisingly even on the weekend). […]
Construction Crew Experience – We’ve had less than stellar experiences with construction crews using other companies, but the McKinley crew was top-notch. They showed up every day of duration of the project at 8am and worked non-stop through the 100 degree temps until 6pm. The craftsmanship of the team was incredible to watch. They hand cut and laid each stone paver to perfection. At the end of every day, they spent 15-30 minutes cleaning up the job site (again, an experience we had not had prior to using McKinley).
Office/Admin Experience – Julia in their office was very helpful and a great resource. I called a few times with questions and if she didn’t have the answer, she would reach out to the person that did and get back to me in a matter of minutes.
Look no further than MCM Outdoor Living for all of your home project needs!

It’s hard to express the gratitude that my family has felt working with this crew. We have struggled with flooding from rainwater in our backyard and patio/house since the moment we moved into the home, without any sight to a solution. […]
The crew was very diligent in their work and was quick to respond when rainwater persisted to give us troubles, so that the problem would not happen again.
Between the new beams to support the patio, drainage in both the yard and the actual patio, the patio flooring, and gutter system, they went over and beyond expectations.
David Wells
We had a travertine patio put in. They were super professional, high, high quality of workmanship. And they cleaned up afterwards. Would highly recommend them again and again.

Cody was wonderful to work with! My FIL’s garage collapsed, and the insurance company was fighting us(I won’t go into the frustrating details here, LOL)…
Cody assisted us in getting them to pay out by providing estimates that helped us prove the value of the loss.
We are looking to rebuild now, so Cody and MCM are definitely on our shortlist to work with!
