What should Lancaster homeowners know before building a backyard?
Lancaster is one of the oldest settlements in Dallas County, with a historic downtown square and surrounding older neighborhoods, while newer residential growth has pushed out along the I-35E / I-20 corridor onto former blackland farmland.
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 Lancaster 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 it runs
How a Backyard Project Runs in Lancaster

A free design visit in Lancaster
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 Lancaster 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 Dallas County-local if you need us later.
Local know-how
Homes and Yards in Lancaster
Lancaster is a historic town founded in 1852 whose population more than doubled between 1930 and 1960 as it became a Dallas bedroom suburb.
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.
Ten Mile Creek and its tributaries run through the city, and areas near the creeks keep native pecan, cedar elm, and oak cover. Where an older oak survives on a lot, it is an asset: its root zone is marked before any digging, and its shade goes into the layout.

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