What should Princeton homeowners know before building a backyard?

Collin County · Blackland Prairie soil

Princeton sits on US 380 east of McKinney and was a small farming town on the rail line until very recently; its growth since the mid-2010s has been rapid subdivision building on former blackland cropland, so most yards are flat with almost no mature trees.

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 Princeton 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 Princeton

  1. 1

    A free design visit in Princeton

    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 Princeton 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 Princeton

Princeton is a Blackland Prairie farm town that grew after nearby Lake Lavon was finished in 1953 and with Dallas-area growth, still ringed by horse and cattle ranches in the late 1980s.

Most Princeton yards are recent subdivision lots on flat former cropland with almost no trees, so shade leads the design. Where there is an HOA, one set of drawings for the whole yard keeps the review simple.

Princeton sits on the Blackland Prairie about five miles from Lake Lavon.

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

Princeton 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.
