What should Arlington homeowners know before building a backyard?

Tarrant County · Eastern Cross Timbers soil

Arlington covers a lot of ground and a lot of build eras, from post-war ranch lots to newer south Arlington. What a backyard needs here changes street to street, which is why the visit comes before the price.

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.

In Arlington the job is reviewed by the Planning and Development Services — Permitting & Inspections, and we file and follow the permit through that office ourselves.

Longhorn has built across Tarrant 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 Arlington

  1. 1

    A free design visit in Arlington

    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 Eastern Cross Timbers 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 Planning and Development Services — Permitting & Inspections at the City of Arlington and follow it through review. 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 Tarrant County-local if you need us later.
