What should Palmer homeowners know before building a backyard?
Palmer is a small farming town on the I-45 and rail corridor in northeastern Ellis County between Ferris and Ennis; parcels are generally large and flat, on deep blackland clay that is still used for row crops right up to the town edge.
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 Palmer and follow it through review, so the schedule doesn’t stall on paperwork.
Longhorn has built across Ellis County and the wider Metroplex since 1984, and every project starts with a free design visit and a firm price.

A free design visit in Palmer
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 Palmer 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 Ellis County-local if you need us later.
Local know-how
Homes and Yards in Palmer
Palmer is a small farm town, and most parcels in and around it are large and flat.
On a larger or more rural lot there is room to spread out, but the runs for power, gas and water get longer, and a septic field or well can decide where a pool may go.
The Palmer area mixes broad, flat plains and low rolling hills, drained by slow, intermittent streams running east. Near a creek or river it is worth checking the flood maps early, before a pool or slab is placed.

Palmer 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 Palmer and handles the inspections, so the schedule does not stall on paperwork.
Palmer sits on Blackland Prairie ground in Ellis 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.
