What should Alvarado homeowners know before building a backyard?

Johnson County · Blackland Prairie soil

Alvarado grew up as an 1880s railroad town and still has a compact older core, with newer subdivisions spreading along the I-35W and US-67 corridors on flat former farmland. Lots outside the old town tend to be large and open with little established tree cover.

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 Alvarado and follow it through review, so the schedule doesn’t stall on paperwork.

Longhorn has built across Johnson 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.
