What should Cedar Hill homeowners know before building a backyard?

Dallas County · Blackland Prairie soil

Cedar Hill sits on the White Rock Escarpment and has real elevation change for this region, rising a couple hundred feet above the creek bottoms near Joe Pool Lake, so sloped and terraced backyards are common here in a way they are not in flatter Dallas County suburbs. The Austin Chalk under town is capped by clay that can be only inches deep in places.

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

Longhorn has built across Dallas 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.

How it runs

How a Backyard Project Runs in Cedar Hill

  1. 1

    A free design visit in Cedar Hill

    A designer comes out to the house, measures, walks the access a crew would need, and talks through what you want the space to do. You leave with a firm price. On Blackland Prairie ground, that is also when the grading, drainage and movement details get decided rather than improvised on site.

  2. 2

    Drawings, permit and HOA

    We file the permit with the City of Cedar Hill and follow it through review, so the schedule does not stall on paperwork. Where an HOA wants a submittal, we prepare the drawings it asks for.

  3. 3

    One crew, one schedule

    The same team builds the whole job in order, so the slab, the structure, the electrical and the finish work are not three different companies working around each other.

  4. 4

    Walkthrough and warranty

    We walk the finished backyard with you, settle the punch list and leave one warranty on the work — and we are still Dallas County-local if you need us later.
