Founder Story – McFarland Outdoors
Hi, I’m Zach, founder of McFarland Outdoors.
My background isn’t just in construction — it’s in building and scaling businesses the right way. After studying Business Management and Human Resource Management at Indiana University’s Kelley School of Business, I spent years learning how strong operations, clear systems, and disciplined execution separate great companies from average ones.
In 2023, I founded McFarland Outdoors with a simple goal: to bring that same level of structure, accountability, and quality standards into the outdoor construction industry.
Today, our team delivers custom decks and outdoor living spaces designed with intention — where planning, structural integrity, and precision execution matter just as much as aesthetics.
With us, you’re not just hiring a contractor.
You’re working with a process-driven team committed to building it right.
