Meet the Founder:
Zachary McFarland
McFarland Outdoors was founded by Zachary McFarland, a proven business leader with a track record of building and scaling service companies the right way — from the ground up.
Zach isn’t a “deck guy who started a company.”
He’s an operator who understands process, margins, quality control, and people — and applies that thinking to construction.
In the past year alone, Zach led:
- The delivery of 45+ custom deck projects
- Over $1M in annual revenue
- Multi-crew field operations across decks, landscaping, and removal services
His role doesn’t stop at sales. Zach is directly involved in:
- Design planning
- Pricing strategy
- Crew training
- Material standards
- Financial oversight
- Continuous process improvement
That’s why projects stay on schedule, budgets stay tight, and results stay consistent.
Why McFarland Outdoors Exists
Most outdoor contractors fail in three places:
- Poor planning
- Weak communication
- No real systems
We built McFarland Outdoors to fix that.
Every deck, pergola, hardscape, or commercial contract is delivered through a design-first, process-driven approach that removes uncertainty and prevents surprises.
You’ll know:
- What’s being built
- Why it’s designed that way
- How long it will take
- What it will cost
- Who is responsible at every step
That’s not common in this industry. It should be.

Our Standards (Non-Negotiable)
Craftsmanship Without Shortcuts
Framing, flashing, fasteners, rail systems, stairs — everything is built to code and beyond it. If it doesn’t last, we don’t install it.
Design-First Planning
No guessing. Every project is designed around how the space is used, not just how it looks.
Clean, Professional Job Sites
Respect for your property is mandatory. Clean sites, organized crews, and professional conduct are the baseline.
Clear Communication
Schedules, scopes, and updates are part of the job — not an afterthought.
Our Process
(Why Projects Run Smoothly)
01
Consultation & Design
We listen first, then design with intent.
02
Material Selection
Wood, composite, or hybrid — selected for Indiana weather and long-term performance.
03
Construction
Skilled crews, disciplined execution, zero chaos.
04
Final Walkthrough
We don’t leave until it’s right.
Who We’re Right For (And Who We’re Not)
We’re a great fit if you want:
- A contractor who plans before building
- Transparent pricing and real timelines
- Long-term value, not quick fixes
- A team that treats your home like an asset
We’re not the cheapest bid.
We’re the one you don’t have to worry about.
