John McCormick, owner of Cen-Tex Artificial Turf
Meet the Owner

Built by the Same Family That’s Been Building Outdoor Spaces Around Austin for 40 Years


John McCormick started Cen-Tex Artificial Turf because his Capital Outdoor Spaces customers kept asking for a maintenance-free lawn. Water restrictions and heavy oak shade make Bermuda a losing battle in a lot of Central Texas yards, and turf is the honest answer.

Same owner, same crews, same standard of work that Capital Outdoor Spaces has been putting into decks, patios, and pergolas for four decades. John is on every job, from the on-site consult through the final walk-through. No subcontractors, ever.

How Cen-Tex Works

Four Things That Set the Standard


Family Owned

Cen-Tex Artificial Turf is a family business owned and run by the McCormicks. Every crew is our crew. Every install has an owner on-site.

No Subcontractors, Ever

The crew that walks your yard on day one is the crew that hands it back to you on the last day. No handoffs, no unfamiliar faces, no dropped standards.

Owner on Every Job

John McCormick is on-site every day of every install. He walks it with the crew, checks the base, verifies the seams, and does the final walk-through.

40 Years of Outdoor-Living Experience Behind Us

The 40-year track record belongs to Capital Outdoor Spaces, our parent brand. Cen-Tex is a new brand focused specifically on turf, backed by four decades of outdoor building in Central Texas.

The Parent Brand

Capital Outdoor Spaces: The 40-Year Story Behind Cen-Tex


Cen-Tex Artificial Turf is a sister brand of Capital Outdoor Spaces, John McCormick’s outdoor-living company. For nearly 40 years Capital Outdoor Spaces has been building decks, patios, pergolas, outdoor kitchens, screen rooms, and pool surrounds across Central Texas.

When enough customers started asking about turf, John launched Cen-Tex as a dedicated brand rather than tacking it on to the outdoor-living catalog. Same crews, same standards, focused specifically on turf. Same phone, same email, same integrity.
