What should Rockwall homeowners know before building a backyard?
Rockwall’s draw is the water, and much of the work here is about not competing with it. That means keeping the sightline to Lake Ray Hubbard open while still getting real shade over the kitchen.
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 Rockwall and follow it through review, so the schedule doesn’t stall on paperwork. Rockwall’s water comes from the North Texas Municipal Water District.
Longhorn has built across Rockwall 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 Rockwall
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 Rockwall 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 Rockwall County-local if you need us later.
Local know-how
Homes and Yards in Rockwall
Rockwall’s fastest growth came in the 1970s and 1980s, driven by jobs in Dallas and the construction of Lake Ray Hubbard.
In neighborhoods of that age the original patio and fencing are often due for replacement, and mature trees shape where a pool or a cover can sensibly go.
Rockwall is on the eastern shore of Lake Ray Hubbard. Open ground near the water tends to catch more wind, so shade structures are anchored and placed with the breeze in mind.

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