What should Celina homeowners know before building a backyard?

Collin County · Blackland Prairie soil

Celina is building fast on open prairie, which means new lots with very little shade and a lot of sun to manage. Here the shade structure usually leads the design instead of following it.

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.

In Celina the job is reviewed by the Building Services, Development Services Department, and we file and follow the permit through that office ourselves. Celina publishes a dedicated residential pool permit packet with its own submittal checklist, and asks for a signed pool-protection acknowledgment as part of the application. Our permit guide lists the office for every city we have checked.

Longhorn has built across Collin 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 Celina

  1. 1

    A free design visit in Celina

    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.

  2. 2

    Drawings, permit and HOA

    We file the permit with Building Services, Development Services Department at the City of Celina and follow it through review. Where an HOA wants a submittal, we prepare the drawings it asks for.

  3. 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.

  4. 4

    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 Collin County-local if you need us later.

Local know-how

Homes and Yards in Celina

Celina was ranked the fastest-growing city in Dallas–Fort Worth from 2019 to 2021 and has grown several-fold since 2010.

Newer subdivisions usually come with an HOA review and a small builder’s slab, so it pays to plan the full backyard together and take one complete set of drawings to the HOA.

Wilson Creek rises two miles east of Celina and flows southeast toward the East Fork of the Trinity River near Lake Lavon. Near a creek or river it is worth checking the flood maps early, before a pool or slab is placed.

Celina backyard questions

The Building Services, Development Services Department reviews residential projects in Celina. Pools and structures attached to the house, such as patio covers, sunrooms and enclosures, almost always need a permit. Longhorn files it and follows it through inspection. Celina publishes a dedicated residential pool permit packet with its own submittal checklist, and asks for a signed pool-protection acknowledgment as part of the application.

Celina sits on Blackland Prairie ground in Collin 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.
