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.
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 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. Our permit guide lists the office for every city we have checked.
Longhorn has built across Tarrant 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 Fort Worth

A free design visit in Fort Worth
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 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 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 Tarrant County-local if you need us later.
Local know-how
Homes and Yards in Fort Worth
New neighborhoods spread across Fort Worth’s south and east sides after World War II, and since the 1980s suburban growth has pushed north along the I-35W corridor toward Alliance.
On older lots, big shade trees, narrow side gates and aging utility lines are common, so crew access and where the old lines run get checked at the first visit.
Fort Worth sits where the Clear Fork meets the West Fork of the Trinity River, with Cross Timbers country on its east side and flat prairie to the west. Where an older oak survives on a lot, it is an asset: its root zone is marked before any digging, and its shade goes into the layout.

Fort Worth backyard questions
The Development Services Department reviews residential projects in Fort Worth. 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. Fort Worth treats pools and accessory structures as separate residential permit types, each with its own submittal checklist.
Fort Worth sits on Fort Worth Prairie ground in Tarrant 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.
