What should Keene homeowners know before building a backyard?
Keene grew up around the Seventh-day Adventist school founded in 1893 (now Southwestern Adventist University) on land purchased about five miles east of Cleburne, so the older core of town is a compact grid of large platted lots around the campus.
This is Cross Timbers ground — sandier loam sitting on clay. It digs more kindly than the black prairie further east, but the sand drains onto clay that does not, so grading and drainage get solved before a single stone is set.
We file the permit with the City of Keene and follow it through review, so the schedule doesn’t stall on paperwork.
Longhorn has built across Johnson 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 Keene

A free design visit in Keene
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 Eastern Cross Timbers 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 Keene 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 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 Johnson County-local if you need us later.
