What should Fort Worth homeowners know before building a backyard?
West of the Trinity the soil thins out fast. On a Fort Worth pool that often means rock in the excavation, so we would rather put a real number on it at the design visit than hand you a surprise at the dig.
This is Fort Worth Prairie ground — shallow soil over limestone. Excavation here usually means rock rather than shrink-swell clay, which is a cost we would rather price honestly at the design visit than discover halfway through the dig.
In Fort Worth the job is reviewed by the Development Services Department, and we file and follow the permit through that office ourselves. Fort Worth treats pools and accessory structures as separate residential permit types, each with its own submittal checklist.
Longhorn has built across Tarrant 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 Fort Worth
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 Fort Worth 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 Development Services Department at the City of Fort Worth 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 Tarrant County-local if you need us later.
