About Barefoot in McKinney

Lawn and landscape help for McKinney homes

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, hardscape, front-yard redesigns, drainage, and everything the HOA review cycle requires.

You can call us for regular mowing or a larger lawn and landscape project. For mowing, tell us your address and preferred schedule. For an installation, tell us what you want to change and send a few photos if you have them. We will explain the scope and price before the work starts.

Either way, the diagnostic is a real walk of the yard, the quote is written, and the work gets done the way we would do 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 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, patios 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. We will walk through the math on the estimate if that helps.

Quick answers to what McKinney homeowners ask before booking an install project.

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.
