What should DeSoto homeowners know before building a backyard?
DeSoto developed mainly from the 1970s through the 2000s and platted noticeably larger single-family lots than the older inner-ring Dallas suburbs, so backyards here are often deeper than in Duncanville or Oak Cliff. The ground rises toward the Cedar Hill escarpment on the city’s west side.
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 DeSoto 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.

A free design visit in DeSoto
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 DeSoto 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.
Local know-how
Homes and Yards in DeSoto
DeSoto grew as a Dallas commuter suburb from the 1960s through the 1990s.
DeSoto yards are usually established, with grown trees and an original patio, but the deeper lots leave more room than in older inner suburbs to set a pool and a cover well apart.
Ten Mile Creek runs through the city. Near a creek or river it is worth checking the flood maps early, before a pool or slab is placed.

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