What should Denton homeowners know before building a backyard?
Denton sits on sandier ground than the black clay east of I-35, so it digs more easily. The drainage design still comes first, because that sand is sitting on clay that holds water.
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 Denton the job is reviewed by the Development Services: Building Safety, and we file and follow the permit through that office ourselves. Denton lists swimming pools as their own residential permit category and reviews pool and spa work under its local amendments to the 2021 International Swimming Pool and Spa Code. Our permit guide lists the office for every city we have checked.
Longhorn has built across Denton 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 Denton

A free design visit in Denton
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 Eastern Cross Timbers 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 Development Services: Building Safety at the City of Denton and follow it through review. 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 Denton County-local if you need us later.
Local know-how
Homes and Yards in Denton
Denton is a university town that grew rapidly from 1960 onward, with southeast Denton its fastest-growing residential area by the 1970s.
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.
Denton sits on largely flat terrain, with Lewisville Lake about 15 miles south of the city.

Denton backyard questions
The Development Services: Building Safety reviews residential projects in Denton. 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. Denton lists swimming pools as their own residential permit category and reviews pool and spa work under its local amendments to the 2021 International Swimming Pool and Spa Code.
Denton sits on Eastern Cross Timbers ground in Denton 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.
