What should The Colony homeowners know before building a backyard?
Close to Lewisville Lake, The Colony mixes original lots with newer infill. On the older yards, drainage usually needs fixing before anything else can go in.
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.
In The Colony the job is reviewed by the Building Inspections Department, and we file and follow the permit through that office ourselves. Our permit guide lists the office for every city we have checked.
Longhorn has built across Denton 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 The Colony
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 Eastern Cross Timbers 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 Building Inspections Department at the City of The Colony and follow it through review. 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 Denton County-local if you need us later.
Local know-how
Homes and Yards in The Colony
The Colony was founded in 1973 as a Fox and Jacobs development of single-family homes on about 3,000 acres.
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.
About 23 miles of Lewisville Lake shoreline, including two peninsulas, lie inside the city. Open ground near the water tends to catch more wind, so shade structures are anchored and placed with the breeze in mind.

The Colony backyard questions
The Building Inspections Department reviews residential projects in The Colony. Pools and structures attached to the house, such as patio covers, sunrooms and enclosures, almost always need a permit. Longhorn files it and follows it through inspection.
The Colony sits on Eastern Cross Timbers ground in Denton 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.
