How much does it cost to create an outdoor living space?

The cost of creating an outdoor living space can vary depending on several factors, ranging from $30k to $100k or more. The final cost depends on the scope of the project, the size of the space, the materials used, and the desired features and amenities. We work closely with you to understand your vision and provide a detailed cost estimate based on your specific requirements.

How fast can you finish my outdoor living space?

The timeline for finishing your outdoor living space depends on various factors, including permitting, HOA design approval (if applicable), and the construction phase. Typically, the passive time, which includes obtaining permits and design approvals, can take around 12 weeks. The active construction phase can range from 3 to 6 weeks, depending on the complexity and scale of the project. Our team strives to complete your outdoor living space efficiently without compromising on quality, ensuring that you can enjoy your new space in a timely manner.

Can an outdoor living space be used all year-round?

Yes, an outdoor space can be used all year-round, especially when you incorporate features like infrared heaters. By adding heating elements, you can extend the usability of your outdoor space during cooler months. Infrared heaters provide warmth directly to objects and people, creating a comfortable environment. With proper design considerations, insulation, and the addition of heating elements, you can enjoy your outdoor living space throughout the year.

Do I need a permit for my outdoor living space?

Yes, building an outdoor space in Texas requires a permit from the Building Inspections Division. When you work with us, your trusted outdoor living space contractor, we guide you through the permit application process, so you don’t have to worry about filing paperwork with incorrect information.

How do I maintain and care for my outdoor living space?

To maintain and care for your outdoor living space, it’s recommended to restain posts every 3 to 5 years. Regular maintenance, such as cleaning surfaces, inspecting and repairing any damage, and ensuring proper drainage, helps prolong the lifespan and appearance of your outdoor living space. Following a routine maintenance schedule will keep your space looking its best and ensure that it remains a welcoming and enjoyable area for years to come.

Can I add a fire or a water feature to my outdoor living space?

Of course! Fire features, such as fire pits or fireplaces, can add warmth and ambiance, making your outdoor space cozy and inviting. Water features, such as fountains or waterfalls, can bring a soothing and tranquil element to your outdoor living area. Our design team can help incorporate these features into your outdoor living space, turning it into a captivating and rejuvenating oasis.

A Coppell Backyard That Reads as One Finished Space

MCM Outdoor Living is a pool builder and outdoor living contractor in Coppell, TX, building custom pools, outdoor kitchens, pergolas, patios, and decks as one connected backyard. The best backyards here get drawn once, with the pool, the patio cover, the cooking area, the grading, and the walking paths on the same sheet before anyone breaks ground, because pieces added one at a time land at different heights and the mismatched edges stay visible for years.

We lay out the whole yard as a single space so each element lines up with the one beside it, which on the established, often HOA-governed lots around town turns a fenced rectangle of grass into a yard the household leans on all season. Design, permits, materials, and construction stay under one roof, and the build is made for daily traffic, long North Texas summers, and the expansive clay under these homes.

Our outdoor living services include:

Outdoor Living Services

MCM Outdoor Living designs and builds fully connected outdoor spaces for homeowners across Coppell, TX. The work spans pools, pergolas, decks, patios, outdoor kitchens, fire features, and the hardscape and drainage that hold it all together, each detail planned around how a specific home and lot actually get used.

One project manager carries the schedule and the trades from the opening walkthrough to the final punch list. Steady communication, certified installation, and brand-name materials let us hand over outdoor spaces that keep working, wear well, and stay comfortable season after season.

Swimming Pool Construction

Coppell’s clay swells in spring and pulls back in the dry stretches, and a pool has to sit steady through both, which starts with an equipment pad and drainage engineered for that seasonal movement. Our swimming pool construction in Coppell, TX is a reinforced gunite shell poured to the exact lines of your lot.

Our swimming pool construction services include:

Pergola Installation

A pergola only stays square if its piers reach past the active clay layer, so on Coppell lots we dig the footings deep enough to hold plumb through the seasonal soil movement. Our pergola installation in Coppell, TX sets a durable, low-maintenance structure over the spot the afternoon sun lands hardest.

Our pergola installation services include:

Deck Construction

On the compact, established lots common near the DFW Airport corridor, a well-framed deck adds usable floor without eating the whole yard. Our deck construction in Coppell, TX is built with capped composite and graded lumber made to take the full Texas sun.

Our deck construction services include:

Outdoor Kitchen Installation

Gas, water, and power all run underground to an outdoor kitchen, so we trench and rough it in while the ground is already open during the build and nobody has to saw back into finished concrete later. Our outdoor kitchen installation in Coppell, TX is laid out around how your household cooks and hosts.

Our outdoor kitchen installation services include:

Paver Patio Installation

Pavers ride out clay movement better than a single concrete pour because each unit can settle on its own without cracking the whole slab, as long as the base is compacted right. Our paver patio installation in Coppell, TX is graded and drained to hold its line over Coppell’s shifting soil.

Our paver patio installation services include:

Covered Patio Installation

A patio cover carries real roof load, so its posts land on footings sunk past the active clay and it gets tied cleanly into the existing roofline. Our covered patio installation in Coppell, TX is matched to the pitch and materials already on your home, with HOA design rules checked first.

Our covered patio installation services include:

Retaining Wall Installation

A retaining wall lives or dies on what happens behind it, so we build in the drainage that keeps saturated clay from pushing the wall out of line over time. Our retaining wall installation is engineered to hold grade and stabilize the soil on your lot.

Our retaining wall installation services include:

Water Feature Installation

A little moving water covers up the road and airport noise that carries across Coppell’s compact neighborhoods and gives the yard a spot to settle around. Our water feature installation runs efficiently and matches the stone and paver work around it.

Our water feature installation services include:

Privacy Fence Installation

Most Coppell HOAs spell out fence height, material, and finished side, so we read those covenants against city code before we set a single post. Our privacy fence installation uses durable materials and straight, plumb workmanship that holds up on moving ground.

Our privacy fence installation services include:

Artificial Turf Installation

When summer water restrictions hit and the lawn browns out anyway, turf keeps a small Coppell yard green and playable with no watering and no mowing. Our artificial turf installation is graded and drained so it stays firm underfoot.

Our artificial turf installation services include:

Outdoor Fire Pit Installation

A fire pit needs clearance from the house, the fence line, and any cover overhead, and on tighter Coppell lots that placement gets planned carefully against local code. Our outdoor fire pit installation is set flush into the surrounding hardscape and built to burn safely.

Our outdoor fire pit installation services include:

Hardscaping

Good hardscaping starts underground, with grading that sends water away from the house and a compacted base that holds up as Coppell’s clay swells and shrinks. Our hardscaping in Coppell, TX ties the walkways, borders, and foundations together over a compacted base with Belgard pavers and stone.

Our hardscaping services include:

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a typical outdoor living project take to complete?

It comes down to the size and mix of the build. Smaller pieces like a pergola or a paver patio can wrap in a few days to a couple of weeks. Larger jobs such as a pool, a covered patio, or a full backyard usually run several weeks, and we stand behind the schedule with our three-month completion guarantee. You get a detailed timeline before construction starts.

Are you insured?

Yes. We carry full insurance and follow proper permitting, inspection, and safety practices on every job, built to professional construction standards.

Do you provide design planning for outdoor projects?

Yes. Every project opens with a design plan shaped around your home, your lot, and your budget. You review the layout, the materials, and a clear scope before any construction begins.

Do your outdoor projects include a warranty?

Yes. Structural work carries a 10-year warranty, and our workmanship is backed for five years, with lifetime client support. Many of the materials and systems we install also carry their own manufacturer warranties.

Are irrigation systems, sod, or plants included in the project?

Outdoor living and pool projects center on the structural and hardscape features: pools, patios, decks, pergolas, kitchens, and drainage. Irrigation, sod, and planting come in only when they’re written into the project scope.

Do you manage permits and HOA approvals in Coppell?

Yes. We handle the permit application with the City of Coppell and Dallas County, and we prepare the HOA submittals too, so the project keeps moving without avoidable holdups.

What types of materials do you use?

We build with Belgard pavers, TrexPro composite decking, Jandy pool equipment, premium masonry, and quality lumber, all picked to hold up in North Texas heat and clay soil.

Can my backyard still be used during construction?

Often, yes. Some sections get closed off depending on the stage of the build, but we keep the site organized and safe to limit how much it disrupts your routine.

Can several outdoor features be installed in one project?

Yes. A full backyard that folds together a pool, patio, kitchen, pergola, fire feature, and turf is exactly the kind of coordinated project we’re built to run.

What kind of pool holds up best in Coppell soil?

Custom gunite. The reinforced, poured shell handles Coppell’s expansive clay better than a pre-formed unit, and it lets us fit the pool to the exact shape of your lot.

Is it possible to get a free consultation or estimate?

Yes. Consultations and estimates are free. Call (469) 583-6213 or submit a request online, and we’ll talk through your ideas, walk you past the options, and answer your questions with no obligation.

Rated 5 out of 5

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.
