What should Garland homeowners know before building a backyard?
Garland is a fully built-out inner-ring Dallas suburb whose dominant housing stock is 1950s-1970s single-story brick ranch homes on flat quarter-acre-scale lots with large mature shade trees. The city owns and operates its own electric utility, Garland Power & Light, and its eastern boundary fronts Lake Ray Hubbard.
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 Garland 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.

How a Backyard Project Runs in Garland
- 1
A free design visit in Garland
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 Garland 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.
- 3
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.
Homes and Yards in Garland
Garland is a post-war suburb whose population nearly quadrupled in the 1950s; neighborhoods include Firewheel Oaks and Eastern Hills.
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.
Duck Creek runs through the city and Lake Ray Hubbard lies on its eastern border. Open ground near the water tends to catch more wind, so shade structures are anchored and placed with the breeze in mind.

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