What should Sunnyvale homeowners know before building a backyard?

Dallas County · Blackland Prairie soil

Sunnyvale has long enforced unusually large minimum residential lot sizes, so backyards there are substantially deeper than in neighbouring Mesquite or Garland and many homes sit on roughly an acre. The town’s northern boundary runs along Lake Ray Hubbard.

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 Sunnyvale 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 Sunnyvale

  1. 1

    A free design visit in Sunnyvale

    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 Sunnyvale 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.
