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.
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 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, 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 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 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 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 Johnson County-local if you need us later.
Local know-how
Homes and Yards in Keene
Keene is a college town around what became Southwestern Adventist College, whose closeness to Cleburne and Fort Worth brought rapid growth from the late 1950s on.
Older neighborhoods tend to mean mature trees and tighter access, which decides how a pool gets dug, where the equipment sits and how materials reach the back of the house.
Keene sits on a watershed divide, with the north and east draining to Turkey Creek (Trinity basin) and the south and west to East Buffalo Creek (Brazos basin). Where the ground slopes or rock sits close to the surface, retaining walls or rock excavation get priced at the design visit rather than discovered during the dig.

Keene 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 Keene and handles the inspections, so the schedule does not stall on paperwork.
Keene sits on Eastern Cross Timbers ground in Johnson 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.
