What should Ferris homeowners know before building a backyard?
Ferris straddles I-45 at the Ellis/Dallas county line and built its economy on brick manufacturing, drawing on the heavy local clay deposits that still underlie most lots in town. Housing is a mix of pre-war frame homes near the old railroad grid and scattered newer infill, with a small annexed portion of the city extending into Dallas County.
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 Ferris and follow it through review, so the schedule doesn’t stall on paperwork.
Longhorn has built across Ellis County and the wider Metroplex since 1984, and every project starts with a free design visit and a firm price.

How a Backyard Project Runs in Ferris

A free design visit in Ferris
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 Ferris 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 Ellis County-local if you need us later.
Local know-how
Homes and Yards in Ferris
Ferris is a small railroad and brick-making town whose growth in the later twentieth century was aided by Interstate 45 and Dallas-Fort Worth expansion.
Near the old railroad grid, pre-war lots bring big trees and older utility lines; newer infill lots start closer to bare. Either way, access and the old lines get checked at the first visit.
Tenmile Creek, with limestone and black-clay banks and clayey soils, flows through the city limits. Near a creek or river it is worth checking the flood maps early, before a pool or slab is placed.

Ferris 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 Ferris and handles the inspections, so the schedule does not stall on paperwork.
Ferris sits on Blackland Prairie ground in Ellis 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.
