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 Lewisville Backyard That Fits the Lot You Actually Have

MCM Outdoor Living is a pool builder and outdoor living contractor in Lewisville, TX, building custom pools, outdoor kitchens, pergolas, patios, and decks as one coordinated backyard. Plenty of Lewisville homes sit on established, tree-shaded lots with narrow side yards, and that shapes a build long before any crew shows up, since where an excavator stages and how spoil leaves the yard have to be worked out on paper first.

We draw the whole backyard as one space so the pool, the shade, the patio, and the way people move through the yard all line up, which on the tighter lots around Lewisville Lake and Old Town is what keeps a build moving. Design, permits, materials, and construction stay under one roof, and we engineer the pool structure for the expansive clay these homes are set on.

Our outdoor living services include:

Outdoor Living Services

MCM Outdoor Living designs and builds complete outdoor spaces for homeowners across Lewisville, TX. Our work covers pools, pergolas, decks, patios, outdoor kitchens, fire features, and the hardscape and drainage underneath them, each piece planned around the room a given lot actually gives us to work with.

From the first walkthrough to the last inspection, one project manager runs the schedule and the trades, and on a tight lot that single point of coordination is what keeps deliveries, digs, and pours from colliding. Steady communication, certified installation, and brand-name materials let us hand over outdoor spaces that perform, age well, and stay comfortable season after season.

Swimming Pool Construction

Getting an excavator into a fenced Lewisville backyard is often the first real question we answer, since a lot of homes near the lake leave only a narrow gate to work through. Our swimming pool construction in Lewisville, TX uses a reinforced gunite shell engineered for the expansive clay underneath.

Our swimming pool construction services include:

Pergola Installation

The old trees on a lot shade one corner and leave the patio baking by mid-afternoon, which is where a pergola comes in. Our pergola installation in Lewisville, TX puts a durable, low-maintenance structure over the stretch the canopy misses.

Our pergola installation services include:

Deck Construction

Where the back door sits well above a sloping yard, a deck bridges the drop and makes the whole grade usable. Our deck construction in Lewisville, TX uses capped composite and graded lumber built to take full Texas sun.

Our deck construction services include:

Outdoor Kitchen Installation

The gas, water, and power that feed an outdoor kitchen go in far cleaner while the ground is already open during the build. Our outdoor kitchen installation in Lewisville, TX gets trenched and wired at that stage, so nothing has to be cut back into finished concrete later.

Our outdoor kitchen installation services include:

Paver Patio Installation

Clay that swells and shrinks with the seasons is what makes or breaks a patio around Lewisville, so the base matters far more than the pattern on top. Our paver patio installation in Lewisville, TX is graded and drained to stay flat over ground that moves.

Our paver patio installation services include:

Covered Patio Installation

A solid roof over the patio keeps the space in play when the sun is high and when the afternoon storms roll through off the lake. Our covered patio installation in Lewisville, TX matches its roofline and materials to your home.

Our covered patio installation services include:

Retaining Wall Installation

Yards that fall away toward the water usually need a wall before anything above them can sit level. Our retaining wall installation is engineered for drainage and the movement of local clay.

Our retaining wall installation services include:

Water Feature Installation

The steady sound of moving water covers road and neighbor noise on a close-in Lewisville lot and gives the yard a center to sit around. Our water feature installation is built to run efficiently and match the rest of the backyard.

Our water feature installation services include:

Privacy Fence Installation

Neighbors sit close on a lot of the older Lewisville streets, and a solid fence is what gives the backyard any real privacy. Our privacy fence installation uses durable materials and clean, plumb workmanship.

Our privacy fence installation services include:

Artificial Turf Installation

Grass gives up in the deep shade under mature trees and again in the heat once the summer rain stops. Our artificial turf installation is graded and drained to stay firm and green in both spots.

Our artificial turf installation services include:

Outdoor Fire Pit Installation

Once the North Texas evenings finally cool off in fall, a fire pit is what keeps the backyard in use after dark. Our outdoor fire pit installation is built to code and set into the surrounding hardscape.

Our outdoor fire pit installation services include:

Hardscaping

The walkways, borders, grading, and base work are what hold a backyard together long after the finished surfaces go down. Our hardscaping in Lewisville, TX is built on a compacted base with Belgard pavers and stone.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

It depends on the size and mix of the build. Smaller pieces like a pergola or a paver patio wrap up in a few days to a couple of weeks. Larger work such as a pool, a covered patio, or a full backyard usually runs 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 project, built to professional construction standards.

How do you build on a tight Lewisville lot with narrow access?

We map access and staging first. Before we set a schedule, we plan how equipment gets in, where spoil and materials stage, and which sequence keeps a narrow side yard workable, so a tight lot near the lake or Old Town doesn’t stall the build.

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 focus 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 lewisville?

Yes. We handle the permit application with the City of Lewisville and Denton County, along with HOA submittals, so the project moves without avoidable delays.

What types of materials do you use?

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

Can my backyard still be used during construction?

Often, yes, though a tighter lot means more of the yard is staging area at once. We keep the site organized and safe and restrict only the sections the current stage needs.

Can several outdoor features be installed in one project?

Yes. Full backyards that pair a pool with a patio, kitchen, pergola, fire feature, and turf are exactly the kind of coordinated project we’re built to run.

What kind of pool holds up best in Lewisville soil?

Custom gunite. The reinforced, poured shell handles the expansive clay around Lewisville better than a pre-formed unit, and it lets us shape the pool to a lot that may not have much room to spare.

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 go over your ideas, walk you through the options, and answer your questions with no obligation.

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.
