What should Frisco homeowners know before building a backyard?

Collin County · Blackland Prairie soil

Frisco backyards are newer and flatter than most, which makes them easy to plan and easy to over-build. We would rather size the pool and the cover to leave you some lawn.

This is Blackland Prairie ground — deep, dark clay that swells in a wet spring and shrinks hard by August. It is the reason we engineer the pool shell for movement and set control joints in the flatwork on purpose rather than wherever the pour ends.

In Frisco the job is reviewed by the Development Services — Plans & Permits, and we file and follow the permit through that office ourselves. Frisco requires a construction permit for in-ground pools, above-ground pools, spas and splash pads, and plan review has to finish before construction starts.

Longhorn has built across Collin 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.

How it runs

How a Backyard Project Runs in Frisco

  1. 1

    A free design visit in Frisco

    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 Blackland Prairie ground, that is also when the grading, drainage and movement details get decided rather than improvised on site.

  2. 2

    Drawings, permit and HOA

    We file the permit with Development Services — Plans & Permits at the City of Frisco and follow it through review. Where an HOA wants a submittal, we prepare the drawings it asks for.

  3. 3

    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.

  4. 4

    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 Collin County-local if you need us later.
