What should Lake Dallas homeowners know before building a backyard?

Denton County · Eastern Cross Timbers soil

Lake Dallas takes its name from the reservoir impounded in the 1920s that is now Lewisville Lake, and the town is hemmed between I-35E and the lake shore, so its older platted lots are small and many of them slope toward the water.

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 Lake Dallas and follow it through review, so the schedule doesn’t stall on paperwork.

Longhorn has built across Denton 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 Lake Dallas

  1. 1

    A free design visit in Lake Dallas

    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.

  2. 2

    Drawings, permit and HOA

    We file the permit with the City of Lake Dallas 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. 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 Denton County-local if you need us later.
