What should Melissa homeowners know before building a backyard?

Collin County · Blackland Prairie soil

Melissa sits on open blackland farmland along US 75 and the rail line north of McKinney; it was a small farm town for most of its history and the great majority of its homes are recent subdivision construction, so lot tree cover is young.

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

Longhorn has built across Collin 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 Melissa

  1. 1

    A free design visit in Melissa

    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.

  2. 2

    Drawings, permit and HOA

    We file the permit with the City of Melissa 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 Collin County-local if you need us later.

Local know-how

Homes and Yards in Melissa

Melissa was a small town until about 2000 and has grown rapidly since.

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.

Melissa sits on the rich soils of the Blackland Prairie.

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

Melissa sits on Blackland Prairie ground in Collin 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.
