What should Cedar Hill homeowners know before building a backyard?
Cedar Hill sits on the White Rock Escarpment and has real elevation change for this region, rising a couple hundred feet above the creek bottoms near Joe Pool Lake, so sloped and terraced backyards are common here in a way they are not in flatter Dallas County suburbs. The Austin Chalk under town is capped by clay that can be only inches deep in places.
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 Cedar Hill 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 it runs
How a Backyard Project Runs in Cedar Hill

A free design visit in Cedar Hill
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 Cedar Hill 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.
- 3
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.
Local know-how
Homes and Yards in Cedar Hill
Cedar Hill grew dramatically in the 1980s, especially after nearby Joe Pool Lake opened in 1989.
Yards from those decades are usually established, with grown trees, a fence line and an original patio that is often too small. Most projects become a retrofit, planned around what is worth keeping.
Hilly terrain around 800 feet elevation, full of native eastern red cedar, on the eastern shore of Joe Pool Lake beside Cedar Hill State Park. Where the ground slopes or rock sits close to the surface, retaining walls or rock excavation get priced at the design visit rather than discovered during the dig.

Cedar Hill 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 Cedar Hill and handles the inspections, so the schedule does not stall on paperwork.
Cedar Hill 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.
