What should Little Elm homeowners know before building a backyard?

Denton County · Eastern Cross Timbers soil

Little Elm is nearly surrounded by Lewisville Lake and has one of the longest municipal shorelines on it; the town was tiny until the 2000s, so almost the entire housing stock is post-2000 subdivision construction on modest, closely spaced lots.

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 Little Elm 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, and every project starts with a free design visit and a firm price.

How it runs

How a Backyard Project Runs in Little Elm

  1. 1

    A free design visit in Little Elm

    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.

  2. 2

    Drawings, permit and HOA

    We file the permit with the City of Little Elm 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 backyard project 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 project 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.

Local know-how

Homes and Yards in Little Elm

Most Little Elm residents live in single-family homes, usually in master-planned subdivisions built between the late 1990s and late 2010s.

Newer subdivisions usually come with an HOA review and a small builder’s slab, so it pays to plan the full backyard together and take one complete set of drawings to the HOA.

Central Little Elm is surrounded on three sides by Lewisville Lake. Open ground near the water tends to catch more wind, so shade structures are anchored and placed with the breeze in mind.

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

Little Elm sits on Eastern Cross Timbers ground in Denton 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.
