What should Keene homeowners know before building a backyard?

Johnson County · Eastern Cross Timbers soil

Keene grew up around the Seventh-day Adventist school founded in 1893 (now Southwestern Adventist University) on land purchased about five miles east of Cleburne, so the older core of town is a compact grid of large platted lots around the campus.

This is Cross Timbers ground — sandier loam sitting on clay. It digs more kindly than the black prairie further east, but the sand drains onto clay that does not, so grading and drainage get solved before a single stone is set.

We file the permit with the City of Keene 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.
