What should Richardson homeowners know before building a backyard?

Dallas County · Blackland Prairie soil

Richardson’s older neighborhoods come with mature canopy and smaller back lots. Fitting a pool in often comes down to access and finding somewhere the equipment can live quietly.

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 Richardson and follow it through review, so the schedule doesn’t stall on paperwork. Richardson’s water comes from the North Texas Municipal Water District.

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 Richardson

  1. 1

    A free design visit in Richardson

    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 Richardson 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 Dallas County-local if you need us later.

Local know-how

Homes and Yards in Richardson

Richardson became an affluent Dallas suburb in the postwar boom, when new residential additions such as Richardson Heights replaced cotton fields.

Older neighborhoods tend to mean mature trees and tighter access, which decides how a pool gets dug, where the equipment sits and how materials reach the back of the house.

Prairie, Spring, Duck, and Cottonwood creeks flow through the city, and the Spring Creek Nature Area preserves wooded land. 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.

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

Richardson 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.

Richardson’s water comes from the North Texas Municipal Water District. Watering schedules can tighten in a drought, so we plan the planting and irrigation around the current rules and choose heat-tolerant plants that can establish on them.
