What should Forney homeowners know before building a backyard?

Kaufman County · Blackland Prairie soil

Forney lies on US 80 east of Mesquite and was designated the Antique Capital of Texas by the Texas Legislature in 1984, reflecting a small historic core surrounded by large post-2000 subdivisions such as Devonshire and Gateway. The north side of the city runs toward the East Fork of the Trinity and Lake Ray Hubbard, and the terrain is nearly flat farm prairie.

This is Blackland Prairie ground — deep, dark clay that swells in a wet spring and shrinks hard by August. It is the reason we engineer the pool shell for movement and set control joints in the flatwork on purpose rather than wherever the pour ends.

We file the permit with the City of Forney and follow it through review, so the schedule doesn’t stall on paperwork.

Longhorn has built across Kaufman County and the wider Metroplex since 1984. We prepare the drawings an HOA typically asks for, and every project starts with a free design visit and a firm price.
