What should Ferris homeowners know before building a backyard?

Ellis County · Blackland Prairie soil

Ferris straddles I-45 at the Ellis/Dallas county line and built its economy on brick manufacturing, drawing on the heavy local clay deposits that still underlie most lots in town. Housing is a mix of pre-war frame homes near the old railroad grid and scattered newer infill, with a small annexed portion of the city extending into Dallas County.

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

Longhorn has built across Ellis 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.
