What should Melissa homeowners know before building a backyard?

Collin County · Blackland Prairie soil

Melissa sits on open blackland farmland along US 75 and the rail line north of McKinney; it was a small farm town for most of its history and the great majority of its homes are recent subdivision construction, so lot tree cover is young.

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

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.
