McFarland sits on the flat floor of the San Joaquin Valley, where most residential lots are level but the clay soil underneath shifts with every rainy season. A custom deck designed specifically for your yard accounts for those soil conditions from the start, with footings set correctly so the structure stays solid through Kern County's temperature swings. Learn about our custom deck design and build service.
McFarland summers regularly hit 100 degrees Fahrenheit and beyond, and composite or Trex boards handle that heat far better than bare wood - they resist warping, UV fading, and splintering year after year. For homeowners who want a good-looking deck without the annual maintenance, composite is often the right call in this climate.
Wood decks in McFarland take a serious beating from summer UV and the damp conditions that tule fog brings every winter. A proper stain-and-seal treatment every two to three years keeps boards from drying out and checking in summer and from absorbing moisture when the Valley fog rolls in.
A pergola turns a McFarland backyard into a usable space from April through October, when sitting in direct sun is impractical for most of the day. McFarland's flat lots and single-story homes are well-suited to pergola designs that attach to the house and extend the covered living area without a complicated build.
Most McFarland homes are single-family detached houses with back and side yards that need defined boundaries. Vinyl fencing holds up in the Valley heat without painting or warping, while wood privacy fencing gives homeowners who prefer a traditional look a durable option when properly maintained.
McFarland has a significant share of homes built in the 1950s through 1980s, and decks from that era are often past their useful life. The combination of clay-soil movement and decades of heat cycling tends to loosen posts and crack boards gradually - catching those problems before they become safety issues saves homeowners money in the long run.
McFarland is a small, tight-knit city in the heart of Kern County's agricultural corridor, built on the flat valley floor of the San Joaquin Valley. The soil here is predominantly heavy clay, which behaves differently from sandy or loamy soils that deck builders encounter elsewhere. Clay soil expands noticeably when it absorbs winter rain and shrinks back when the dry season sets in. That movement - called shrink-swell - puts lateral pressure on deck posts and can shift a footing that was not set deep enough or sized correctly for the soil type. A contractor unfamiliar with Valley conditions may not account for this, resulting in a deck that looks fine at installation but starts to rack or lean within a few seasons.
Summer temperatures in McFarland regularly reach and exceed 100 degrees Fahrenheit, which matters for material selection. Dark composite or wood surfaces can become uncomfortably hot underfoot in direct sun at that temperature. Unprotected wood loses moisture rapidly in the dry heat and can check or warp within a season if not properly sealed. At the same time, McFarland's long, mild outdoor season - spring through late fall - means a well-built deck gets more use per year here than it would in a coastal California city where fog and cool temperatures cut the season short. Homeowners here are not just adding an amenity; they are adding usable living space.
Our crew works throughout McFarland regularly, and we understand the local conditions that affect deck and fence work here. We are based in Delano, just a few miles south on Highway 99, so we reach McFarland quickly and are familiar with the properties, neighborhoods, and permit process in this part of Kern County.
McFarland is a community that takes pride in what it has built. The McFarland High School cross-country team put this town on the national map, and residents here value persistence and straight dealing - which is exactly how we try to do business. The city runs along Highway 99 with residential neighborhoods spreading east and west, and homes range from the older blocks near downtown to newer subdivisions on the outskirts of town. We are familiar with both.

(661) 553-7102McFarland is a small city of about 14,000 people in Kern County, located along Highway 99 roughly midway between Delano and Wasco. The city sits on the flat agricultural floor of the San Joaquin Valley and has grown steadily over recent decades, driven by its position in one of California's most productive farming regions. The housing stock is mostly detached single-family homes built between the 1950s and 1990s, with stucco exteriors and modest yards that are typical of Central Valley residential construction. A significant share of McFarland households are owner-occupied, which means many residents are in it for the long term and care about maintaining what they own.
McFarland gained national recognition through the story of its high school cross-country team, whose championship run was turned into the 2015 film "McFarland, USA." The community takes genuine pride in that history, and it reflects a broader culture of working hard and doing things right. The city is served by McFarland Community Park and surrounded by agricultural land in every direction. Neighboring communities include Delano just a few miles to the south and Earlimart to the west, both of which we serve.
