What should Celina homeowners know before building a backyard?

Collin County · Blackland Prairie soil

Celina is building fast on open prairie, which means new lots with very little shade and a lot of sun to manage. Here the shade structure usually leads the design instead of following it.

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.

In Celina the job is reviewed by the Building Services, Development Services Department, and we file and follow the permit through that office ourselves. Celina publishes a dedicated residential pool permit packet with its own submittal checklist, and asks for a signed pool-protection acknowledgment as part of the application.

Longhorn has built across Collin 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.
