Building in Celina
What should Celina homeowners know before building a backyard?
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.
This is Blackland Prairie ground — deep, dark clay that swells in a wet spring and shrinks hard by August. It is the reason we engineer the pool shell for movement and set control joints in the flatwork on purpose rather than wherever the pour ends.
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.
Longhorn has built across Collin County and the wider Metroplex since 1984. We prepare the drawings an HOA typically asks for, and every project starts with a free design visit and a firm price.

A free design visit in Celina
A designer comes out to the house, measures, walks the access a crew would need, and talks through what you want the space 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 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.

One crew, one schedule
The same team builds the whole job 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 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.
