What should Carrollton homeowners know before building a backyard?
Carrollton’s housing stock is largely 1970s through 1990s subdivision, with an older historic downtown square dating to its railroad origins, so most backyards have decades-old trees and established fence lines. The Elm Fork of the Trinity River forms the city’s west side and puts part of the city near floodplain.
That ground decides how a slab, a pool shell or a footing has to be built here. Here is what it does to a patio.
We file the permit with the City of Carrollton and follow it through review, so the schedule doesn’t stall on paperwork.
Longhorn has built across Dallas County and the wider Metroplex since 1984, and every project starts with a free design visit and a firm price.

How a Backyard Project Runs in Carrollton
- 1
A free design visit in Carrollton
A designer comes out to the house, measures the space a backyard project has to fit, walks the access a crew would need, and talks through what you want it to do. You leave with a firm price. On Blackland Prairie ground, that is also when the grading, drainage and movement details get decided rather than improvised on site.

Drawings, permit and HOA
We file the permit with the City of Carrollton and follow it through review, so the schedule does not stall on paperwork. Where an HOA wants a submittal, we prepare the drawings it asks for.

One crew, one schedule
The same team builds the whole backyard project in order, so the slab, the structure, the electrical and the finish work are not three different companies working around each other.

Walkthrough and warranty
We walk the finished backyard project with you, settle the punch list and leave one warranty on the work, and we are still Dallas County-local if you need us later.
Homes and Yards in Carrollton
Almost three-quarters of the homes standing in Carrollton in 1980 had been built during the 1970s.
In neighborhoods of that age the original patio and fencing are often due for replacement, and mature trees shape where a pool or a cover can sensibly go.
The Elm Fork of the Trinity River crosses the western city limits, flanked by a timbered strip of elm, oak, and willow. Where an older oak survives on a lot, it is an asset: its root zone is marked before any digging, and its shade goes into the layout.

Carrollton backyard questions
Almost always, for pools and for anything attached to the house, including patio covers, sunrooms and enclosures. Longhorn files the permit with the City of Carrollton and handles the inspections, so the schedule does not stall on paperwork.
Carrollton sits on Blackland Prairie ground in Dallas County. The ground decides how a slab, a pool shell or a footing has to be built, so we plan the drainage and the footings for it at the first visit rather than after something moves.
