What should Denton homeowners know before building a backyard?
Denton sits on sandier ground than the black clay east of I-35, so it digs more easily. The drainage design still comes first, because that sand is sitting on clay that holds water.
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 Denton the job is reviewed by the Development Services — Building Safety, and we file and follow the permit through that office ourselves. Denton lists swimming pools as their own residential permit category and reviews pool and spa work under its local amendments to the 2021 International Swimming Pool and Spa Code.
Longhorn has built across Denton 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 Denton

A free design visit in Denton
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.

Drawings, permit and HOA
We file the permit with Development Services — Building Safety at the City of Denton and follow it through review. Where an HOA wants a submittal, we prepare the drawings it asks for.

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.

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 Denton County-local if you need us later.
