Founded in 2015 by Cody McKinley, McKinley Construction Management (MCM) is known as a trusted name in transforming outdoor spaces across North Texas. With a focus on creating luxurious yet functional retreats, MCM prides itself on bringing families together in beautiful outdoor environments that foster lasting memories.
Cody, inspired by his father’s work as a contractor, developed a passion for hand-built creations early in life. Partnering with his brother-in-law, Chris Weaks, MCM operates as a family business with a shared commitment to excellence. Cody oversees marketing, sales and subcontracting, while Chris manages accounting and logistics. Together, they’ve built a team of licensed, trained and certified professionals dedicated to quality craftsmanship and customer satisfaction.
“Our goal is to create spaces that reconnect families and provide a place for meaningful moments,” says Cody. “It’s not just about construction; it’s about changing lives by transforming backyards into cherished spaces.”
The MCM crew specializes in custom outdoor living spaces, pool design and construction, and comprehensive home improvement projects. Whether a client desires a cozy pergola, a deck for entertaining, or a complete backyard overhaul with landscaping, MCM professionals ensure each project is tailored to homeowners' visions.
“Our focus is on bringing people together at home by crafting unique outdoor spaces for families to cherish,” Cody explains.
MCM crews set themselves apart with top-tier materials, craftsmanship and customer service. Their Texas-Sized Warranty offers peace of mind, including a 10-year structural warranty, a 3-year electrical warranty, and a 1-year cosmetic warranty. MCM’s customizable packages also ensure every project meets individual needs and budgets.
MCM team members indicate they believe nature is the perfect backdrop for creating cherished family moments.
“We like to push boundaries and make cool stuff,” says Cody. “Our job is to let customers have a great experience while creating spaces they’ll love for years to come.”
At its core, MCM is a family-oriented business. Cody’s dedication to his family inspires his work, and his goal is to build a legacy that blends personal and professional success.
“I’m doing this for my family and to build a legacy, but also for the customers,” Cody shares. “We want to provide experiences that exceed expectations, turning dreams into realities.”
MCM’s team shares the same hardworking mindset, focusing on open communication, attention to detail and customer satisfaction. Cody says their approach ensures clients feel comfortable and confident throughout the process.
For homeowners considering an outdoor renovation, Cody offers two key pieces of advice. First, plan ahead. Outline goals, budget and timeline before starting a project. A clear plan helps avoid unexpected costs and delays. Second, set a realistic budget. Factor in materials, labor, permits and a contingency fund for unexpected expenses. By planning effectively, clients can create spaces that meet their needs while staying within their budget.
The MCM staff also offers several financing options and payment arrangements, making it easier for homeowners to achieve their dream outdoor spaces.
From luxurious outdoor kitchens to stunning landscapes, MCM brings each project to life with a hands-on approach. Their team serves as the client’s point of contact throughout the process, ensuring seamless communication and exceptional results.
Cody says MCM’s commitment to excellence doesn’t end with construction: MCM also offers valuable guidance to help clients fully enjoy their new outdoor spaces. By focusing on thoughtful planning and creative design, they ensure every backyard becomes a hub for relaxation, entertainment and cherished memories.
Cody recommends four steps for making the most of backyards:
- Set Goals: Decide what is wanted from a backyard. Is it entertaining, gardening, relaxation or a mix? Knowing goals helps in planning effectively.
- Add Entertainment: Boost backyards with fun features, such as a grill, firepit, outdoor kitchen, or even a hot tub or pool, if space and budget allow. These additions make backyards a hub for enjoyment.
- Regular Maintenance: Keep backyards in top shape by staying on top of tasks such as lawn care, plant trimming, furniture cleaning and prompt repairs.
- Create Zones: Divide backyards into different areas, such as dining, lounging, garden and play spaces for kids, if needed. This organization enhances usability and creates a sense of order.
With their expertise, craftsmanship and customer-focused approach, MCM crews transform unused spaces into meaningful retreats. Whether it’s hosting family gatherings, watching sunsets, or simply enjoying the beauty of nature, Cody says MCM ensures every client loves where they spend their time.
