Building in Italy
What should Italy homeowners know before building a backyard?
Italy is a small Ellis County town on I-35E south of Waxahachie that grew as a cotton and railroad stop, and most of its lots are either old townsite parcels or surrounding farm acreage rather than modern subdivisions.
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 Italy 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 it runs
How a Backyard Project Runs in Italy

A free design visit in Italy
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 Italy 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 Italy
Italy is an old Blackland Prairie farm town. It started growing again in the late 1970s as some residents took jobs in Dallas–Fort Worth, but it never filled in with modern subdivisions.
Bigger lots give a backyard room to breathe. The planning shifts to utility runs, drainage across open ground and, where there is one, keeping well clear of the septic field.
Italy sits on the Blackland Prairie, with a creek flowing through town. Near a creek or river it is worth checking the flood maps early, before a pool or slab is placed.

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