About Barefoot in McKinney
The Install Crew McKinney Homeowners Call When It Has to Be Right
We are a veteran-owned, family-run install and landscape crew based in Denison. Since 2012 we have been doing install work across McKinney, quietly, mostly on word of mouth. Sod, irrigation, hardscape, front-yard redesigns, sprinkler repair, and everything the HOA review cycle requires.
In McKinney we focus on install and repair work, not weekly mowing. That is a deliberate choice. When you want a new lawn done right, an irrigation system that actually covers the yard, or a front yard that stops embarrassing you when the neighbors pull in — we are the crew. If weekly mowing is what you need, we are happy to recommend a good McKinney mowing service instead.
The trade-off: when we show up in McKinney, you are not being squeezed between mowing routes. The diagnostic is a real walk of the yard, the quote is written, and the work gets built the way we would build it on our own property. That is the whole business model.

McKinney, TX Matters
Why Landscaping in McKinney Is Its Own Animal
McKinney is the third-most-populous city in Collin County and it shows in the yard work. We handle master-planned HOA lots in Stonebridge Ranch with tight design-review standards, mature tree canopies in historic downtown McKinney, new-build subdivisions in Craig Ranch, the Italian-village aesthetic of Adriatica, and the premium turn-of-the-last-century feel of Tucker Hill. Each neighborhood expects something different.
Stonebridge Ranch specifically is where a lot of our McKinney work happens. Homes there are mostly late 1980s through mid-2000s, which means original irrigation systems are usually ready for replacement, and older landscapes are due for a refresh. The HOA takes plan review seriously — we handle the design drawings, plant lists, and submittal paperwork as part of the job.
Soil across McKinney is Texas blackland clay — swells when wet, cracks when dry. That single fact drives most of the issues in older McKinney yards: sod that failed because grading was skipped, sprinkler laterals that cracked from ground movement, retaining walls that leaned because they were not built for the soil.
Grass guidance for McKinney: Bermuda is the workhorse for full-sun lawns — aggressive, drought-tolerant. St. Augustine is common in shaded areas under mature oaks, especially in older downtown McKinney and in parts of Stonebridge Ranch with mature landscape. Zoysia is showing up more in newer installs because it needs less water once established. We walk the property before recommending anything.
Water rates in Collin County are not trivial, and McKinney enforces water restrictions during dry periods. An efficient irrigation system with a smart controller pays for itself faster than most homeowners expect — three summers of water savings typically covers the install. We will walk through the math on the estimate if that helps.

Common Questions
McKinney, TX Landscaping FAQs
Quick answers to what McKinney homeowners ask before booking an install project.
No. Our McKinney work is install-focused — landscape installation, sod, irrigation, mulch, synthetic grass, sprinkler repair, and one-time cleanups. If you need weekly mowing, we are happy to point you toward a McKinney mowing crew we trust.
Yes. We have completed install work across Stonebridge Ranch, Craig Ranch, Adriatica, and Tucker Hill. HOA plan approval and paperwork handled as part of the job — design drawings, plant lists, timeline documentation, all included.
For full-sun McKinney lawns, Bermuda is the workhorse. St. Augustine is the right call under mature shade, especially in older Stonebridge Ranch sections and historic downtown McKinney. Zoysia is gaining ground in newer installs because it needs less water once established. We walk the property before recommending.
Sod pricing varies with grass variety, square footage, and prep. Blackland clay in McKinney almost always needs grading before sod lays — skipping that is the #1 reason new sod fails. Written quote after a walk-through, free estimate. Call (903) 462-0316.
Smaller installs — sod, mulch, bed refreshes — can usually start within a week or two of quote acceptance. Larger landscape installs and full irrigation builds are scheduled further out, depending on the time of year and HOA review time. Call to check the current calendar.
Yes. Barefoot Lawn Maintenance is fully insured. Veteran-owned and family-operated. HOA documentation and proof of insurance available on request.
